PENNSYLVANIA SPICE BOX The back rabbet is /8" x and runs the full length of the side. The door fits onto the case by cutting a stopped rabbet on the left side piece, and notching out the right side. Make the V4" x 3/4" stopped rabbet using a router, starting at the top edge of the lower dado and stopping down from the top edge of the side. Square out the rabbet using a sharp chisel and mallet. To notch the right side, I used my table saw, again starting at the top edge of the lower dado and stopping 11/2" down from the top edge of the side. The next step is to cut the through-dovetails to mate the top to the sides. Use whatever dovetailing method you prefer. I cut mind by hand to give the piece an authentic period appearance. The last step before assembly is to cut away the lower part of each side up to the previously cut dado, but leaving "feet" on either side. This cutaway allows you to attach the bottom (resting in the exposed dado which now becomes essentially a rabbet) to the sides using cut nails, and allows the lower moulding to appear open below the cabinet, but makes attaching the moulding simple and makes it stronger. Use the moulding patterns to locate the cutaways, holding the top edge at the bottom

After some interior sanding, round over the leading edges of the drawer partitions a fair amount to give the interior a more finished appearance. You're now ready to assemble the case. Start with the dovetails, then slip the bottom in place and nail it in place up through the bottom. Next, add the sub-top that is slipped into place inside the case (under the top) and attach it to the top using screws. This sub-top builds up the front edge of the case to support the top moulding. After a dry test-fit, assemble the drawer dividers using glue and one or two strate- Four 'A" dadoes are cut in each side to hold the drawer dividers. I like using a trim router for this step and also use a template guide with a straight bit and a piece of scrap wood as a straight I switched bits and routers then cut a dado for the bottom in each side and a stopped rabbet on the back edge of each side to hold the 5/e" back boards in place. 31 Popular Woodworking December 2001 |
