How to do these drawers?

[Jim Koepke]

I'll second the theory that the front of that table is an apron, not a drawer.

Many people who view this table will also feel the front is an apron, not a drawer.

It is an easy way to have a hidden drawer.

How many drawers do you see here:

There are three.

What looks like a dust panel at the bottom is a drawer:

It is always nice to have a little out of the way storage.

I thought posts 33 & 35 confirmed they are drawers.

We were looking at some furniture recently and there was a whole range of furniture that did not have a handle and were using a push lock, even tallboys. These were locally made and used Blum hardware. But I agree with Derek that I would not use those locks - well made furniture can last hundreds of years whereas these locks may perhaps last only 20 years maximum.

In the grand scheme of things, maybe this piece was not meant to be.

So, just give it up? Drink the soup, or go home.

Modern junk is what Blum is.

The motion activated or just tap the drawer doors drawers and appliances are really starting to take off in the high end cabinet world.

Yes I have a problem with it. I mean what are we teaching ourselves if we can’t even be held accountable to open and close a dam door or drawer.

It’s just nuts.

Alexa can you get me a brain.

If Blum is modern junk, is there a preferred line of cabinet and drawer hardware you use?

I ask because I'm always looking for improvements.

Well, I have begun building. Should I spoil the surprise, or are you willing to wait?

Interesting viewpoint, Patrick. It is like saying that the emerging furniture design standards set for the current generation(s) emanates from the kitchen.

Do proceed.

[Patrick Walsh]

Hmm,

Ok I’m humble enough to admit that you lost me.

Well at least I think you did.

Would try again to make your point in a manner i might comprehend.

Sometimes I’m not so smart. Or maybe I’m just not so smart?

In all seriousness I kinda follow but not really..

Hi Patrick. You are plenty smart I was a bit obscure (as often am .... when I was a kid, my parents would make me put my hand up when I was kidding since my humour can be pretty dry).

You did not actually say this, but my thoughts were piqued by your comments. Essentially, the model for what is good furniture today is increasingly moving in the direction of the construction methods of Ikea and the convenience of the modern kitchen. This is what kids of today are exposed to.

I kinda thought so,

But it was unclear,

Being i respect your work, and also you vocation I suppose in my mind that adds up to actually wanting to know what the hay you meant..

Lol

Can’t wait to see progress pictures. That reminds me I need to contribute..
