The drawer fronts, which fit flush, are cut from stock. The sides and back arc of W yellow pine. The sides and front are grooved V*" up from the bottom edges to take a plywood bottom. The drawer back butts against the bottom and is

fastened with small nails up through the bottom. We used dovetails for the front-side joints, but alternate methods can be used.

Before assembly, grooves need to be cut in the drawer front and back for ^"-thick dividers. The spacing and number of these depend upon the size of spools used. We cut a decorative cove molding around the front edge of all the drawers; these can also be beveled.

The chest was given four coats of Deft clear finish, with sanding after the second and fourth coat. Then a final coat was applied with a spray can of Deft, which left a fine brush-free finish. Two porcelain knobs per drawer completed the project.
