I'm building a jewelery box that has 3 drawers on one side and frame and panel door on the other side. The styles and rails are purple heart and panel will be ambrosia maple. I've got my drawers fitted and just about finished and started on making the door and the styles and rails didn't line up good at all. I used a hollow chisel mortiser for the mortises and dado stack for the tenons. The rails around 6 inches and styles around 3 inches ( shoulder to shoulder). With it being so small does that make it harder and any tips or advise would be greatly appreciated. Trying to get completed by Valentine's. Also going to order hinges today. Do I need to wait to get them before building the door and any recommendations on hinges would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Sorry took so long to get on here. Maybe you can notice how they are twisted and not lining up at top. Jimd I think I might do what you said and glue done wood in the tenons and recut and fit them and clean my mortises up better because if I do to much more there going to be easy to sloppy. Thanks
