    Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.

    Deep thought for the day:

    Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

    Ben,
    The cores for the drawer fronts are glued up to get big enough blanks. They are two blanks splined together. The top concave piece was coved on a 16" tablesaw by running diagonally across the blade. The bottom convex part was made by making a series of angled cuts and then handplaning off the points and sanding. After splining them together the drawer fronts were veneered in the vacuum press. One of the dovetails covers the spline and the moulding, which is routed in 1/8" and rabetted, covers the veneer seams.

    Beautiful thread. Can I get a close up of the carved feet? They are definitely Not your normal claw and ball.
