RichardA Posted October 31, 2016 Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Column's Dave.... And you're turning into a helluva "Hybred" woodworker, kinda like most of us. You're doing a damn good job, I like this ride! Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're stopped dadoes but it doesn't really show in the photo. I will square off the ends and clean up any unevenness in the bottoms of the dadoes with chisels(my router plane is too wide to fit in a 1/4" dado). All along I've had the philosophy that if it can be done with a machine then that's how I'll do it. I'm predominantly a power tool user who augments some operations and fine-tunes things with hand tools. Without doubt, carving is hand tool work but if I can hog out some material with a router, grinder, dado stack, or whatever, then I'm all for it. Awesome skill builder for sure! This is definitely one of my favorite builds on this site! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely appreciate yours and everyone's interest Kev. It's very encouraging to have y'alls support. I really enjoy h3nry's carving projects in much the same way. It's cool to see the development of the project. I hope he gets re-situated and back to his journal soon... Stay tuned, I'm about to get back to some hand carving which, to me, is the interesting part of the build... Like any project, I need to get the joinery done while things are still square. That "forced" me to finalize my ideas for the interior of the case to a large extent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying a new photo sharing site so we'll see if it's worse than photobucket. I squared up the ends of my dadoes and made some shelves. They still need to be notched to slide a half inch forward of the stopped dadoes. http:// http:// 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post davewyo Posted November 1, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Thanks Gang! I made a template and cut my curves on the drawer dividers. The vertical pieces are just a mock-up to see how it looks. http:// http:// Oh, forgot to say...the top compartments are pigeonholes and the other spaces get drawers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some small offset knife hinges ordered from Brusso to use for the inset doors. I think they will give the clearance for the drawers to be pulled out. The doors will need to open 180 degrees and not hit the columns while completely clearing the way for the bottom drawer to open. We'll see... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 1, 2016 Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 Dave, the drawer fronts will be the same profile as the drawer dividers? What will they be made of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will they be made of? Ah! Very good question, Coop. The drawer fronts will be the same profile but inset within the dividers by a 1/4'" or so. I may make them from an exotic. I have some Goncalo Alves which could look good, but I haven't decided if I can get the three levels of drawers out of the piece I have. Fall-back plan is to use walnut. 1 hour ago, JosephThomas said: Wow nice stuff... You are moving fast right now Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk It took a while to figure out what I was going to do, but once I got a few decisions made the dadoes and dividers moved along nicely. It's a little bit frightening cuz when I get moving it's always touch-n-go the whole time whether I will screw the whole thing up or not. When I get back to carving I wouldn't doubt that things will slow down considerably. Plus I'm headed to Taos, Death Valley, the Sonoran Desert in AZ or CA, the Huntington Museum(near LA), or someplace that is warm in the next month, so that could slow the progress....

davewyo Posted November 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Not too much to show for today. I cut the notches in the shelves which brought them forward 1/4". The first two went well but the third was gappy. Since I hadn't cut down the shelves to size from front to back I was able to back off from the sloppy edge and re-trace the profile. Then I re-cut and gave it another try. That wasn't so good either so I did it a third time. Overall they came out okay. Not 100%, but okay... I thought I would have several go-'rounds to make sure all the shelf dividers came forward 1/4" and were all in the same plane, but I lucked out and they all lined up first try. Amazing. http:// Then I cut a bit off the backs of the shelves so that when pushed into place they would fit flush inside my rabbets for the back panel. http:// 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialbyfire Posted November 3, 2016 Report Share Posted November 3, 2016 Holy cow. Some how I missed the October updates on this one. I was actually thinking about this project today while at work today and then it showed up! Glad to see you're still at it. This project looks great.

Popular Post davewyo Posted November 4, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I took the scratch stock to the edges of my drawer dividers. When the scratch stock is tuned nicely you get shavings like from a card scraper. http:// Here's how it looks http:// 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
