welcome back to the perler works channel to get things started I'm going to start rough cutting this 8 course of peeli it's about 19 inches wide which is perfect for this project because I needed boards that were going to be six inches wide so I gave everything rough cut take to the table saw and I'll get it cut to about six and eight I'll take it over the jointer and then the planer with a quarter stock you should be able to get three half-inch thick boards if you were to resaw at the bandsaw but that comes with a little bit of risk if your boards start to cup too much and you end up with stock that's too thin for what you need so I just use the table saw to cut them in half it creates a little bit more waste but it's less risky in my opinion I had some soupy Lee left over from other projects and a little bit nicer figure and so I decided to use it for the drawer front so here I am just resawing them in half it's back to the jointer and planer to get everything down to its final dimensions I point it down to a half inch thick and it'll take it to the table saw to get it to its final length and width you the box is constructed with rabbits at the corners along with dedos in the middle of the boards which house of dividers did a couple of test cuts and added a few shims to the dado stack to make sure it could fit these boards nicely here I'm just cutting the rabbits and the boards and now here we are cutting the dados in the top and bottom of the boards and the next one I'll be cutting the dados in these left and right panels the previous day toes are about 1/4 inch deep but these ones for the middle dividers are only 1/8 inch deep because they have to be on both sides now it's time to install these middle dividers the first one was a little bit snug and I had to use the mallet to knock it in but the second one was a perfect fit and just slid right in these short dividers almost sunk the whole project they were just way too tight and would not go in to easy embarrassment a little bit I turn the camera off and continue to hit them with the mallet as hard as I could I ended up only doing the top and bottom dividers at first let them dry and then came back and put the middle to buyers in now it's time to move on to the nine drawers I'm using soft maple for the sides and back of the drawers and I'm just ripping this to final width so that they fit perfectly into the drawer box I sized each drawer front to fit its own cavity perfectly and this way if there's any deviations in my previous measurements these drawers will still fit nicely and as you can see that this first one went in nicely and I'm using a double date Oh or a half-blind lock joint for the towel and that was my dog pepper and I followed a technique from a couple of woodworking books that I have and it's sort of complicated but after a couple of tests it's not too bad you just want to make sure that you have your fence set up properly and don't move it once it's set and you want to use a flat tooth Grindley bottom of your cut is nice and flat the backs of the drawers are attached with a simple housing joint and after that it's time to glue everything up at this point the drawers didn't have a perfect fit so I just use a block plane to fine-tune everything I drew up the skirt design and Inkscape and then created this little plywood template and I just trace it on to the skirts and then take it to the bandsaw to cut out for the legs I was initially going to go with a straight taper but at the last second we ended up switching it to like a soft curve I think it just gives it a nicer look that matches the skirt I use glue and some pocket screws to attach the skirt to the legs and I have a quarter inch piece of plywood under the skirt to create a slight reveal I gave everything an eighth inch radius round over and then sanded everything up through 320 grit I'm going to be using Danish oil for my finish and I've noticed that going up to 320 gives me a little bit better result than stopping it to 20 some glue in a couple screws is all that's needed to attach the legs I use the quarter inch plywood again to create a neat nice even reveal and you can see those little ash spacers that I have in the back of the box and I put those in to make sure that the drawer is sit flush with the front I found some nice label holder poles online and I created this template so that the holes would be spaced evenly on each drawer and then I just screw them in using a screwdriver making sure not to strip the screws and it's done thanks for watching
