Construction of Chest of Drawers - Joinery



For the purposes of cutting the main joints on the body of the chest the studio invested in a routing jig for machining joints. To become familiar with the tool the dovetails for the drawers were cut using it. 


























The box or finger joints were then cut with good result using the jig. This required some subversion of the intended method as it turned out the jig was not meant to cut panels of this size.  


























The component parts of the cabinet and drawers jointed & ready for gluing.
