With the legs tapered and mortised, Catriona moves to making the sides. She
starts by jointing the boards.
|
On the side that will have drawers, she
has ripped the width to have a 3/4" bottom and top rail. The two drawers will be cut
from this middle piece. Catriona lays out the pieces before cutting to size.

 |
She marks the end spacer blocks for
biscuits that will hold them in position.
|
She cuts the slots for the
biscuits. She uses another piece of walnut to backup the small piece that she is cutting
the slot in.

 |
She dry fits the assembly before
gluing. With this side assembled, she can cut the pieces for the other side and the ends.
