Did some more work on the cabinet. I cut all the rails for the drawer slides and one drawer to make sure everything was correct. Hopefully next Sunday I will be able to finish all the drawers.
Cutting the 45 degree angles on the drawer rails
Drilling the pocket holes on the rails. Set up unit is along side
All the rails sitting on top of the cabinet
Next came the draw front, back and sides. The front and back are connected to the sides with simple overlap joints. Besides glue there are also some brads nailed parallel to the front and back to make the joint more resistent to pull out when opening the drawer. You can also see grooves for the drawer bottoms. I am using 3/8 inch hardboard because of the size of the drawers.
The rails and slides have been mounted for the first drawer.
A perfect fit! Actually the first time for me............
I am using a a piece of plywood to register the rails. 20-20 hindsight instead of the separate rails I should have used one solid piece of plywood for the slides. This would have saved me from using hardboard on the outside for the sides.
Once all the drawers are in I will work on fancier drawer fronts and more importantly a divider system for inside the drawers for the various Palstrut parts.
