Been searching for the build hardware and so far this is what I find.

Pretty dissent for a locally available key hole but very thick hope I can incorporate it in the build.

Can’t find the hinges instead I found this, “tung oil”

[chisel]

The wood here is not on my side after a week of gluing it warp and impossible to slide on the rabbet so I just slice it 2 ½” wide in the table saw.

http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/5305/250720102171.jpg

you rest a lot... lol :p. hahahaha, nice work as usual Emerson, starting to take shape and looks good as always. oh, well we'll just have to wait till the next weekend...
cheers

[chisel]

Its been a slow week for me kaya eto lang muna.
I’ m starting to make dado for the plywood to make a drawer, once again I used the dado blades a little larger than ¼” for the plywood to slide.

http://a.imageshack.us/img266/739/080820102181.jpg

As what Timber said this model of dado produces a very clean cut.

http://a.imageshack.us/img819/8614/080820102182.jpg

May saw blade is a 50 teeth thin kerf combination blade its been a year and it still stay sharp just wondering if ever it becomes dull is there a locally shop here that hone saw blades.

http://a.imageshack.us/img266/6848/080820102183.jpg

http://a.imageshack.us/img819/8353/080820102184.jpg

[chisel]

You’ll be amaze how fast wood movement happens here in my place just took my lunch and after that refit my work and it won’t fit the wood moves about 1/16” have to make a shallow rabbet on to the plywood for it to fit.

http://a.imageshack.us/img337/4269/080820102185.jpg

Dry fitting and hope it will stay that way.

http://a.imageshack.us/img291/5752/080820102186.jpg

Then gluing it up.

http://a.imageshack.us/img834/5135/080820102187y.jpg

[chisel]

It should be perfectly square.

http://a.imageshack.us/img444/4442/080820102191.jpg

http://a.imageshack.us/img266/9403/080820102188.jpg

http://a.imageshack.us/img819/1277/080820102190.jpg

[timber715]

Just a trick question Chisel, " Is your square square?" :)

[chisel]

You know the answer Timb all Stanley square are consistent with a 1 degree off to square maybe the machine there are using for reference is not calibrated to square, that why I build the panel cutter for accurately cutting a true square one test to probe you are cutting precise square is after cutting flip the one stock and it should be align and straight. Or stocking both square and flip the top is should be align on both edge and flush. Before I trust the Stanley square in calibrating both my saw blade and my miter gauge and it always gives me a disastrous result.

[chisel]

Continuing on my project, need to tip my saw blade to 45° for a miter cut of the leg drawer.

http://a.imageshack.us/img444/8964/140820102192.jpg

After cutting made a profile and trace it to the leg drawer.

http://a.imageshack.us/img338/3774/140820102193.jpg

Assembling the drawer to which the leg drawer will attach.

http://a.imageshack.us/img64/5613/140820102194.jpg

http://a.imageshack.us/img163/3117/140820102195.jpg

[chisel]

Its very seldom I used this tools but if you want fast drawer construction w/o any fancy joinery this is my best bet “ haft lap joint glue and brad nail”

http://a.imageshack.us/img163/7151/140820102196.jpg

Nail the drawer runner to w/c the drawer leg can ride on to.

http://a.imageshack.us/img375/643/140820102197.jpg

Cut the profile on my band saw.

http://a.imageshack.us/img52/4600/140820102198.jpg

Dry Fitting.

http://a.imageshack.us/img828/7771/140820102199.jpg

[chisel]

Made pass to the router table with ¼ inch haft round bit to dress the side then glue the miter joint.

http://a.imageshack.us/img682/7393/140820102200.jpg

http://a.imageshack.us/img5/7761/140820102201.jpg

[chisel]

To reinforce the miter joint made a spline jig. Made the rail to fit my standard issue fence.

http://a.imageshack.us/img838/2848/200820102207.jpg

Glue 8 pcs ½ inch mdf and cut 45® for the base

http://a.imageshack.us/img842/2927/200820102204.jpg

http://a.imageshack.us/img594/3483/200820102203.jpg

Screwed and glue and its ready for its first cut.

http://a.imageshack.us/img267/2055/200820102208.jpg

[chisel]

Hold the leg drawer firmly to the jig making sure that the base is sitting properly.

http://a.imageshack.us/img827/5662/210820102209.jpg

http://a.imageshack.us/img833/4153/210820102212.jpg

[timber715]

very nice work bro. seems like all you did this weekend is that jewelry box. see you soon

[chisel]

Had to push my butt to make this project on progress. Need to attach the lower drawer with screw for this I used a countersink bit.

http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/4858/290820102228.jpg

First it drill a pilot hole then a counter sink makes job more easier and less time to set up.

http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/2357/290820102231.jpg

The output needs screw.

http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5152/290820102226.jpg

http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/6692/290820102232.jpg

[chisel]

Drill holes for the handle.

http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/166/050920102248.jpg

Attach the back.

http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/629/290820102233.jpg

Trace the profile and prepare to cut using my jigsaw.

http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/7509/050920102235.jpg

http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/6311/050920102236.jpg

[chisel]

Finish cut of the back same profile as the front.

http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/1368/050920102237.jpg

Find this drawer a little tight to the frame.

http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/166/050920102248.jpg

So to remedy that a cheat a little bit by making a 1/8 groove to the side of the drawer to give an illusion of a 1/8 gap.

http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/6136/050920102245.jpg

For the sides I used the table saw its much safer.

http://img808.imageshack.us/img808/2262/050920102246.jpg

[chisel]

Got my gap. Did this to all drawer including the false front. ;)

[chisel]

Sanding all the parts in preparation for the finishing. Although I’m still figuring out how am I going to attach the counter top it saves me time pre finishing.

Very nice!

Ok lang yun, kahit mejo off yung trip nila sa kung ano sa tingin natin ang mas tama. Since para sa kanila yung project, isipin na lang natin na mas importante ay kung san sila masaya.

Which I believe your SWMBO would really appreciate =D

[chisel]

Definitely you are correct jarod were just teasing sabi ko nga sana winie the pooh na handle na lang yung hinanap nya lol.

[jarod]

Haha! Basta kung anong trip nila!

Buting na lang madaling palitan yun mga handles, at least kung anong trip nila, pwede nila gawin!

Again, kudos to your work, I never imagined it to be complex until the final product pics.

[chisel]

Slow progress on my jewelry box still figuring out how to attach the counter top with a 95° inclination so I concentrate on the upholstery. Need to construct a plywood box insert w/c I’m going to upholster and attach inside the drawer, cut some plywood at the table saw.

http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/8620/100920102296.jpg

Redo my counter top because it warp dramatically with that process I reduce its thickness from ¾ down to 5/8. Then run it again to the router table to give its sides profile.

http://img837.imageshack.us/img837/4156/110920102297.jpg

http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/6939/drawer.gif

Now back to the problem on how I’m I going to attach the countertop. Finally I solve the problem by offsetting the hinge on the countertop. Made a jig for hinge to attach.

http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/8972/190920102307.jpg

I used 5/8 ‘ template guide with a ¼’ straight bit.

http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/3764/190920102308.jpg

[chisel]

Test fitting the hinge, the 1/32’ gap is intentional for easy aligning when install.

Now for the countertop, I scribe 1’ from the side and detach the fence of my jig and align to the scribe mark.

http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/622/190920102317.jpg
