I got some time this weekend to start putting the drawers together. I used my INCRA Ibox to make the joints for the first time.
I used my plow plane to make the drawer bottom groves.
Then cleaned up the glue on the box joints.
And I used bamboo sqewers to make sure the drawers stay together.
I have used the I-Box Jig a number of times…really nice tool!
It is, I agree. I did find that my joints were a tad bid loose maybe because of table saw inaccuracy. Did you run into that and were you able to remedy it.
Marilyn – it’s got to feel good to get back out in the shop, congrats!
We’re toying with getting a new TV, moving up from the tiny 1990s CRT version we have to a flat screen behemoth. Which has me thinking of making a similar project, although it would have to be in the G&G style. Do you think the Greene’s would have done a TV cabinet with ebony pegs, carving and inlay? I’m sure they would…
A friend (https://www.facebook.com/msfinewoodworking) just posted pictures of his TV lift cabinet. These are so much nicer than having a giant TV taking up space all the time.
Oh!! Very cool link. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure you could have a ton of fun and challenge designing a similar type of cabinet.
Its a funny thing .. when I tell people what I’m building .. they say .. I want one of those. I bet if you design a G&G one, you’ll be quit popular. 😀
