/V'-thick stock. (We made ours of maple to add rigidity to the lid.) Tilt your tablesaw blade to 15° from vertical. and set your rip fence Y»" from the blade on the side opposite its direction of tilt. Stand your batten stock on edge, and bevel-rip it. Turn the stock edge for edge, and bevel-rip again. Now. rip a 1 //'-wide batten from each edge. Using the same saw setup and your miter gauge, bevel-cut both ends of each batten. (See the Side View ). Drill shank holes for cut nails where shown on the Exploded View, then nail the battens to the lid ends.

Step 5: Attach the lid to the chest using authentic snipe hinges. To do this, you" 11 need to drill diagonal holes in the lid and back (figure D), being careful to align them properly. Once you've inserted the hinges, use a needle-nosed pliers to bend the ends of the hinge pins over and into small pre-drilled holes adjacent

Now, For I lie Drawer and the Finish

Step I: From >S"-thick stock, rip and crosscut the drawer front (L) to size. Next, cut the back (M) and sides (N) to size from ^"-thick stock. Now, edge-

glue and clamp enough //'-thick stock to make an 18x39" panel (rough dimensions) for the drawer bottom (O). Or. if you'd prefer, you can use -thick plywood. (Note: Although our Bill Of Materials includes drawer dimensions. size your drawer parts to fit the actual dimensions of the opening in your assembled chest.)

Step 2: Fit your tablesaw with a '/," dado set. and cut a //'-deep groove on the inside face of the drawer sides and front to accept the bottom. (See the Drawer drawing on page 67.\ Next, rout a bead along the edges of the drawer front where shown on the Drawer
