I think adding the sliding dovetails to the back of the drawer, really tied it all together. Great work!

Sean, thanks for the great explanation of the jigs and how they are used. I was wondering if the offset between the 2 3/4" plywood was to equal the 5/8" depth of the board thickness? This would help prevent any blowout on the seat when coming back out of the front panel.

@Simplecove 4 жыл бұрын

The offset is not the same 5/8" because I wanted to use it for more than just this job. To help prevent tear out of the front, I moved the bit over the front first to remove that waste and then moved it inside the pocket. This left really clean pockets.

Awesome! This is new and really comprehensive approach for power cutting dovetails, props ;) Just one note. I think that wood expansion is greater along than across grain direction. The slot&screw you presented here seems to prevent cross grain movement on bottom board (back is hold still by sliding dovetails). Have you wonder about that?

@Simplecove 4 жыл бұрын

The bottom panel has a slot that the screw is centered on. This will allow the panel to expand and contract. The screw isn't torqued too tight that the panel can't move. I'm not sure how the slot and screw prevent movement?
