Interior drawer detail

dovetail sockets at the top of the case and position the rails to their respective mates. A few clamps will hold the case. Check the measurements from corner to corner to make sure that it is square.

Begin the installation of the drawer dividers with the bottom divider. Make sure it fits snugly, add a thin bead of glue to the bottom of this divider and attach it to the case through the bottom with l1/^" wood screws.

The dovetailed dividers are installed into the case after adding a small amount of glue into each socket as well as on the leading edge of the sliding dovetail.

Once those dividers are in place it is time to install the V2"-thick dividers for the drawers

behind the doors. Be sure to mill the drawer runners for the interior drawers before you install the dividers. To install all these pieces you simply slide the divider into position. Then add the drawer runners directly behind the dividers to hold them tightly to the front. There is no mortise-and-tenon joint used with these dividers. Add a bead of glue to the edge of the runner that meets the case sides and install it into position. A brad at the front and rear will secure the runner to the case side. Above the topmost drawer, install the drawer kicks by gluing and nailing them to the side pieces.

Because you need clearance to properly operate the interior drawers while avoiding the hinges of

the doors, you need to build out the interior case sides. To do this you need to add the interior side spacers. These spacers have a moulded edge and fit tightly from top to bottom. Hold them tight to the front edge of the installed dividers. Attach them with a small bead of

glue and brads. To finish the interior area you need to cut and fit the interior drawer guides.

Now install the drawer runners behind the dovetailed dividers. Cut a tenon on the runners that fit the mortises in the dividers. For aesthetic reasons I opt to clip
