The last drawer is currently in glue up. I planed and sanded some of the drawer joints. Didn't turn out too bad. I didn't get some of the bottom cherry sides pushed in all the way so there was a decent amount of planing there. Overall happy so far. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

howdy

i doubt any will fit. routers usually have their own design for raising and lowering the router in the base.

Simple fix to a dumb mistake. I managed to move my marking gauge when I did the scribe line on the nightstand drawers. This made the sides short of the face of the fronts. To make this a simple fix I got the depth needed for my router bit from the recess on the front. Then I used a marking gauge to sever the word on the back side. I then took the router and routed out the wood needed to make the sides flush with the front. This worked amazingly well and took no time at all. I also got all of the drawer bottoms cut. I started to sand and sanded all of the interiors of the drawers. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Dados for the bottoms are routed in. Stopped dad is for the fronts Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Lot of work done the past two days. I got all of the drawer fronts and sides of the dresser marked out and cut. First the band saw to establish the outer lines of the cut and the the box joint jig to cut the waste out. I didn't get a chance to chisel them out until today. I don't like hammering that late at night. These joints fit PERFECT! A nice snug fit and essentially flush. So much happier with these joints than the joints on the night stand. I also filled some knots and splits in the wood with epoxy. I used clear for the cherry pieces and tinted it black for the walnut piece. Pics of before and after I scraped the epoxy with a card scraper. Today I cut the dados for the backs and trimmed the runner guides to width. My dado stack wasn't quite a 1/2" for the back dado so I used the drum sander to finesse them to the right fit. Having the drum sander for this build has been awesome.

What I think I am going to do is take a router and use the gap on the front (the space the sides fall short of reaching the front) and then flip the piece over and route the back sides of the drawer front box joints. This will flush up the fronts. Then on the sides I'll glue them up and use a flush trim bit. I got all of the dresser drawers sized today. Aside from the backs being cut to length. I couldn't be happier so far. I will need to fill a spot in the bottom front piece with some epoxy Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

First drawer front. Kinda irritated. Somehow my marking gauge must have moved and made my line deeper than it should have been. My test cuts before were perfectly flush. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

lowes. in stock at my local store

Alright...it's been a while since an update. I planed all of the drawer pieces to thickness and rough cut them to length and width. To aid with making the box joints for the front of the drawers I made the ultimate box joint jig by ibuildit.ca. I'll use a band saw to make the cut lines and then use the box joint jig to gog out the waste. Jig works well when you remember to change the height setting between pieces. I'll use a dado stack next time though to go faster. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I'll throw this up here too as well as the other thread. I kind of did a hybrid with the jig. I used the band saw to get my cut lines then I used the jig to cut out the waste. It works well of you remember to change the height setting. [emoji23] I will probably do a dado stack next time though. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Haha. Thanks. Sent you a pic on IG...it'll be there Wednesday [emoji41] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I am building the wood whisperer guild modern chest of drawers and nightstand. For the build thread check the woodworking section. The drawer fronts are put together with box joints. In the video he makes them with the bandsaw and table saw. I decided to make the John heitz's, ibuildi.ca on youtube, box joint jig. It took around 2 days to make. Lots of gluing and drying time. So far so good. It takes a little figuring out with the right amount of clicks to do to get the right sized joints. The beauty of this setup is I can make the box joints different sizes all in the same joint. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Few more pics of the chest of drawers. Also I mapped out the lumber for all of the drawers. A whole lot of lumber. The walnut piece on the right is just under 13" wide. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Chest of drawers is glued up. Up next is picking the lumber for the drawers. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Hopefully I didn't forget anything. Night stand is epoxied together. I cut the lower runner but haven't attached it yet. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Dry fit. Glue up will commence after work tonight. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Glued and nailed on the runners today. The night stand fit on the first try. I also put another coat of paint on the backs. Getting a lot closer! I could have gotten more done but I started a side project yesterday. A doll bunk bed for my daughter. Making it out of left over hickory from the workbench build.

Went frames made and the pack panels are painted. Tonight after work I made the runners that the drawer slides on. I also started to round over the mortises of the web frames. These slide into the slots of the chest of drawers and night stand legs. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Big progress today. I was able to get a few hours of shop time in after church and after the in laws came over for supper. Today I was able to get all of the web frames cut out and dimensioned. Somehow I originally miscounted the sides of the frames and was short by 4. I had to dig around for scrap and I was able to find some pieces of cherry that would work. I didn't feel like cutting up a piece of lumber which would have been quicker. Up next is to domino all of the jointed of the web frames and glue them up. With the domino basically being a router I don't like to run it so late at night. I'll then be able to get it back to my friend since I have had it a month. Lol [emoji1787]. If you look close the front and rear pieces have tennons cut out of them. This is what took these so long to make. Tomorrow I will also paint the back panels so I could theoretically glue these things up on Tuesday or Wednesday. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Solid week or so for me. Not pictured is some total boat epoxy. A whole bunch of clamps from Menards. I had quite a bit of rebates that I had laying around so almost all of them were "free". Two Stanley limited edition tape measures. I'm keeping one for sure. The second not sure yet. I also upgraded my dust collector components. Mine had the 30 micron bag on top and when running g if you pressed on it dust would go into the air. I found a 1 micron powertec bag for $18. I had been wanting to get a filter but those are immensely more expensive. My lower bag was starting to loose the loops and I was tired of emptying it so I bought some plastic bags instead. Hopefully they will help keep the shop cleaner. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I have the incra 1000sd as well. Nice guage. Have you looked at the kreg miter guage? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Last side panel is epoxied and in clamps. I also filled two knots with black tinted epoxy. Those were on the top panel of the night stand. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

@khariV here is a pic of the epoxy with the adative. I could have put more in it but felt that was as far as I wanted it to go to not be a paste. I got the other side of the night stand glued and one side of the chest of drawers before the epoxy was too stiff. If I double checked all my Domino's on the chest of drawers before hand I could have probably gotten to both sides. Oh well. I'll do the other side before work or after. I won't get to work on these again until Sunday anyways. On Wednesday I did get all of the web frame material jointed and planed. Will cut to final dimensions when these panels are glued up.
