Glue the back crown on top of the plywood back panel. Make the arc on the crown as you did for the sides. Cut the top and bottom panels to size, then glue a 3/8" x 3/4" strip on the front of the bottom panel.Assemble the chest using 2" screws. Cut the plugs and glue them in place to cover the screw heads. Here you can see how the two arcs meet nicely at the back corner of the case. These little details will make the sides and back flow together nicely. □ Cut all the drawer parts to size. The sides are captured between the front and back parts, so glue-up can be done with two clamps. I just used glue on these butt joints. I know what you're thinking:Why would he use just glue and no fasteners or other joinery to strengthen this joint? Well, after the plywood bottoms are glued in place, the drawers are quite strong. (If you would like to use fasteners, please do so. Screws or dowels would work well.) 72 Popular Woodworking August 2003 |
