Web Frame


Recommended Posts

I have decided to build a chest of drawers awhile ago and now I am getting back to it. I have made my side panels of solid wood versus the plywood. So the question is where should I appy my glue on the webframes? Just on the front web where the legs meet or just the back or both front & back? And what about glue on center support?

In other words, where pieces align, either flush or with a reveal, and are seen and touched most, is the first choice for glue. As Mark wrote, most often the front.

Remember...

EVERYTHING that attaches to the sides needs to be glued in the same area, so the movement will happen where you want. If you glue the web frames at the front, do the same with moldings, tops, drawer guides and kickers, etc...

It might be obvious, but I've seem pieces where folks glued moldings at the front corners, and guides at the back.
