Glue up a block to fit you design

– unless you keep 12/4 material

around!

I like to cleanup my blank, but it’s not required – it’s going to be trimmed away

anyway.

This particular block is 3 x 6 x 11, the inner core is

Walnut and the outer layers are Lace Wood

Attach your template with spray adhesive

and cut to the outer lines of your template,

leaving enough room to sand to the line.

The smallest radius of your curves will

determine what size of bandsaw blade you

need to use!

If you fail to follow your lines

just consider it a design

change and keep going ☺

This design is similar to a picture I found on

the internet from: Lois Keener Ventura

It is easier to sand all surfaces now

before making any further cuts. The

back will then be the same as the

main box.

Note: I usually make my

boxes around 3” thick so

they will fit my spindle

sander.

Now – Cut the back

off. I usually make

the back panel

approximately

3/16”– 1/4” Thick. It

can be whatever

you want it to be.

Pick an

entrance point

and cut out

your drawers –

in one piece.

On this particular box

the case will be left

open at this point.

This is the entrance point I

picked for the 2 lower

drawers. It will be glued

closed in the next step.

Back – still not attached

Here I’m gluing the entrance

cut back together. Some times

it’s a challenge to find a

clamping position

While that glue is drying,

sand the outside of the

drawers. Keep in mind the more you sand the looser the

drawer will fit.

Cut off a thin back and

front from the drawer

pieces you just cut out

before you proceed. You

may want to mark their

orientation to help with re-

assembly.

Layout the portion of the

drawer to be cut away.

This will be the inside of

your drawer when you’re

finished.

Go ahead and cut away

the waste drawer

material.

Sand the inside of your drawers

while you still have easy access.

Glue the front and rear drawer

pieces back on, finish sand

when dry.

Choose the material for

your drawer pulls (if required) Carefully cut them

out they’re very small

Sand the pulls and glue

to the fronts of your

drawers.

I usually line the inside of

the drawers with felt or

flocking.
