After re-sawing V* in. stock to make the drawer carcase (parts J and K), cut the box joints (see box joint detail) and the Vi in. square groove to accept the Vi in. thick plywood drawer bottom (L). Assemble the drawer. Make the drawer face (M) but do not attach it to the carcase at this time. The recessed pull is made by first cutting out the oval center, and then using a V* in. bearing guided cove cutter to shape the finger recess (see drawer pull cross-section). Several passes will be necessary to achieve the full V2 in. depth. Hand sand the round-over around the pull perimeter. The stand is assembled with a series of cleats providing both strength and rigidity. Glue and screw the cleats to Below: Drawer provides space for 24 VHS tapes.

Cut the Vi in. deep drawer guide grooves into the drawer sides with the dado-head and mount the corresponding guides (N) in place with countersunk screws, as indicated. The drawer face is centered on the drawer carcase and mounted with four countersunk screws after the drawer has been installed. Round the drawer top, and the edges of the drawer face, and finish sand all surfaces. Apply several coats of tung oil to all exposed surfaces, however, leave the inside face of the cane natural. If desired, mount four hooded casters to the unit's bottom so the stand may be moved easily about. Wvf Editor's Note: Caning supplies may be obtained from: Connecticut Cane & Reed Co. P.O.
