Slmize Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 I have just got back in town from work and see the guild is on to bigger and better things. I have decided to build the blanket chest and have a question on the bottom. Decided to do the alternate method but am not clear on the method of attaching the plywood to the deck. I'm pretty new at woodworking, is it just glued or is there another means to attach it. Would appreciate any advise I can get,I realize this is kinda behind for everyone. Thank you and merry Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 I built the chest but not with that method. If Marc's video/instructions are unclear, I bet if you sent him a personal message, he would clear it up for ya. It's a neat project!

Slmize Posted December 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thank you for taking the time to respond K.Cooper. The method was not in the original design so it wasn't covered in the videos. Guess I'll just wing it and hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewoodwhisperer Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 The alternate version is just a mitered frame around a panel. So you have lots of choices. You can simply use biscuits, dominos, or pocket screws to help reinforce the frame's connection to the panel. Or you can make a rabbet in the frame and the panel and simply drop the panel in place with glue. You could use glue and butt joints but I'd really rather see some sort of joinery there for additional strength. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slmize Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Thanks for the reply. I will try one of these methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
