Hello all! I’m working on a project that requires my making a good number of drawers. The drawers vary in size from 16” to 24” wide X 18” to 24” in length and a depth range of 2-1/2” to 10”. I have the Milescraft corner bracket and clamping system and Woodpecker’s latest corner holding system. Both of these seem to require more hands than I have to keep everything aligned.
Do you know of any shop made jig that might allow the side and back to be assembled AND the other side and front to be assembled, then the 2 partial assemblies could be placed on a jig that has a flat surface with two 90 degree corners diagonally facing each other. The jig would have to allow the user to slide one of the 90 degree corners diagonally toward the other to square the 2 partial assemblies and then to fasten/glue them. I can visualize the jig, but I don’t know how to make it, and I suspect that others have already done so.
Any design thoughts and photos?
Since I am sure this won’t be my last project with drawers, I would like to see if there is a better assembly method.
Thanks for your thoughts and feedback.
