I just entered a long post in the DIY section about our upcoming kitchen and bath renovations and our need to find a great designer to work with on the projects. As I think about how I will approach the cabinet work, these big projects might be a good time for me to upgrade my approach to drawer construction. I have traditionally used ½” wood for the box and done a rabbit joint assembled with glue and nails. I have always appreciated the look of dovetail joints and believe this would be a good addition to my projects.
So the question is, does anyone have any recommendation on a good jig or fixture to make dovetail joints easy and consistent? Also, if any of you have suggestions on jigs and/or fixtures that I should steer away from, or that do not work very well, I would appreciate this information as well.
I have tons more renovation work to get done on this house so it needs to be something that allows me to bang out the drawer boxes quickly. It probably doesn’t make any difference but I will be making the boxes out of alder. Thanks for any suggestions or guidance on this.
