Chest of Drawers: Episode 10
Posted 12 April 2017
This is an episode in a paid series. Want to watch it? You just need to sign up as a paid member, and you can enjoy this video and many other videos we think you will love.
Paul cuts a rebate in the back edge of the side panels, to receive a backer piece of plywood. This requires chiseling out some recesses which can then be planed into with the rebate plane. Then some clamping holes are drilled to aid the glue-up.
What is the tooth geometry on the panel saw you used to rip the small parts? I have a problem with a lot of tear out and trying to figure out what type of panel saw to purchase. My 6pi rip is probably too aggressive.
It is a 10 tpi ripcut saw which is our standards for bench work:

You’ve been waiting 50 years to be able to say, “This is the boring bit”, haven’t you?
You’d think, with so many hundreds of people watching, one of them would call out, “The snail’s come through!” But no … lazy buggers.
Hey Paul, any particular reason you chose not to use the bullnose configuration on the #78 rather than chopping? Seems like it would have worked on the first panel at least. Do you feel the time/effort to set it up was not worth it?
Hi Paul and team,
I enjoy the series and the quality of the details in these videos, as usual.
One thing i love is the backgroung music particularly in the timelapse sequences. Would it be possible to have the references please i.e. author and where I can get the tracks?
Many thanks
Paul commissioned this piece of music for use in his videos there is a blog or something similar about it on here somewhere
Hi Paul I hope you don’t mind if I post this …but I have asked if you could find the time to teach the use of moulding planes and sticking board (in fact others go at length to chat in video 7)
I can understand your position, as explained by Phil……..I have searched on Utube and found loads of tuition ….”Chaplin HighChest waist using moulding hollows & rounds by David Boeff furniture maker” USA
HNT Gordon Australia. And last but not least …Bill Anderson USA.
As can be seen by the massive increase in cost of these planes on EBay, they are becoming more popular…..buying them is better than money in the bank!
Why doesn’t Paul use a router plane for the grooves at the beginning of this video, seems that would eliminate the problem he had to overcome of the plane hitting the other side?
Hello Ted,
You could if you were careful, but the rebate plane gives you an exact width for the groove. If you used a router you would have to use a knife and chisel carefully to get a crisp wall.
