rabbets with four or five brads along each side. Check to make sure everything looks square.

Now. glue the apron in place, and secure it with a pair of brads on each end. Countersink the brads, fill the holes with wood putty, and sand smooth.

The top is attached with I in. long by no, 6 flathead wood screws, counter-bored and plugged. We used three screws at each end. Note that the top overhangs the chest by '/4 in. at the front.

Cut the various rabhets, dadoes and grooves in the front, back and sides, then assemble with glue and clamps. When dry. cut the bottom to length and width, and slide it into place from the back of the drawer. Secure it with three small screws driven up through the bottom and into the lower edge of the drawer back. The knobs <K) can be turned to the dimensions shown, or you can substitute most any small knob that's carried by your hardw are store.

Finishing I p

Give the entire project a complete sanding, finishing with 220-grit sandpaper. We used a walnut stain on all surfaces, then two coats of a water-based satin polyurethane clear finish. £31
