Project

Throughout the Sellers’ Home pieces, we have introduced different options for handles rather than going out to buy them. The handles can either make or break any furniture piece, or they can blend in to nearly disappear from the main body of work.

The elements of drawer making and fitting can be quite diversely different, especially when using drawer runners, as we will be on the large bottom drawer.

There are so many small things covered throughout this episode that lead to a big and positive outcome. We fit the drawers to the openings and make the larger drawer for the actual files to stand in.

Drawer-making always seems to have a new nuance somewhere, but then there is an order to the process that should always be adhered to. The steps in this video on making the drawers for Paul’s filing cabinet serve as a treatise on drawer-making.

Before we tackle the drawer making, we must add the back to the main carcass, so we cut and fit that first to give total solidity to the piece. Following that, we tackle the layout with equal-sized pins and tails.

The episode you are about to watch introduces the completion of a brand-new joint you have never seen before. Paul developed an idea he had for this specific project to carry forward to future pieces.

Having sized and squared the sides and top for the main body of the cabinet, we can begin to layout for the new dovetailed housing dado combination joinery.

From beginning to end, this stock-prep video gives away all of the trade secrets that might have been hitherto hidden somewhere in the dim and distant past, but clarity comes second by second and minute by minute.
