    Ran the drawer front a few times, milling both ends....Had had enough hand chopping dovetails..
    2 hour Saturday, all milled.JPG
    Pins first, of course...then over to the bench
    2 hour Saturday, tails, next.JPG
    Lay out the tails, saw, leaving the lines by cutting on the waste side...THEN the chisel went back to work....chop out the waste..clean things up, try a dry fit..
    2 hour Saturday, 1st dry fit.JPG
    Had some crumbs in the back to clean out..kept at it...more test fits, until..
    2 hour Saturday, last dry fit.JPG
    BOTH corners looked like this....whew...
    Decided to at least get a plane ready for tomorrow...
    2 hour Saturday, No.45.JPG
    Stanley No. 45....the reset was it was still set up to mill beads....change cutter, move the fence a bit...
    2 hour Saturday, reset for grooves.JPG
    It is now set up to plough a 1/4" x 1/4" groove...1/4" in from the bottom edges of the front and sides....to house a plywood panel for the bottom of the drawer

    Will need to mill the dados at the back to house the drawer's back....then try to assemble this drawer with glue and clamps....and maybe a few screws....should be a fun day?

    Stay tuned

    Late last night...had to run down to the basement...Boss needed something.....Couldn't help it, just had to try the plane out...jigged up the drawer front..had to back off the cutter one turn..
    The Groovy Stuff, Drawer front.JPG
    Came back later to take that photo....did it again..
    The Groovy Stuff, candle.JPG
    That candle seemed to speed things up...and the other drawer side went from..
    The Groovy Stuff, before.JPG
    To about 3 minutes later..
    The Groovy Stuff, after.JPG
    Then decided to reset the other Stanley No. 45...
    The Groovy Stuff, 2 of them.JPG
    To get it ready to mill 2 dados
    The Groovy Stuff, #16 dado blade.JPG

    Hmmm, long rods are too long, but the short rods are too short...

    Back of the drawer will sit in dados, glued and screwed in place..

    Yep, dangerous to actually send me TO the basement....stay tuned

    Dados are done..
    Drawer Build 101, dado 1.JPG
    Spurs are in bad shape,,,used the dovetail saw to just saw the walls of the dado...45 to remove most of the waste...
    Drawer Build 101, tilted.JPG
    And the #71-1/2 to level the floor, as the #45 wanted to tilt..a lot...Dry fit..3 times...to finally get the drawer back the right size..
    Drawer Build 101, dry fit.JPG
    Went to size the plywood bottom panel....panel on hand was not big enough.....trip to Lowes before they closed...$7.38 for a 1/4" x 24" x 24" plywood panel...that I could cut down to the right size...
    Drawer Build 101, bottom panel.JPG

    The bottom corners of the sides, where the drawer first slides in at..
    Drawer Build 101, starter ends.JPG
    Get a "Starter Bevel"...I also checked for square..
    Drawer Build 101, checked for square.JPG

    So...the tasks for today...drill and counter sink for screws in the dados ( I do not rely on glue alone) glue and clamps and screws to hold the bottom to the back.. Let that sit for the day.

    Have the proper screws for the corner blocks...install them, today. Drill slotted holes in the corner blocks. Mill the drawer guides to proper thickness, and glue in place. May champfer the bottom edge of the top...but, no other "fancy" stuff. Sounds like a rather full day IN the shop?

    Stay tuned...

    Another job well done. I'm amazed at how quickly you finish your projects. You have a lot more focus and perseverance than I do.
