Great instructions
need the source of the 1/4" router bearing bit so I can buy it for making drawers
I just want to mention that you are a heck of a good teacher. I've learned so much from watching your videos. Bill
There’s no closed captioned on it….
I'm enjoying this project! I've run into a bit of a challenge. The "1/2" Birch" plywood I bought is more like 13/32". Soooo, that messes up my plan to use the 1/4" slot cutter. I'm going to run rabbits instead of the lock joints you showed for the drawers. Next time I'll verify the plywood before buying!
Attempting to fit face frame and have been struggling with plywood that is not dead flat. Have a good square carcas but one side ( approx. 45 " below cutout) has a mid span bow out of about 1/8" which presents a problem with the stile on that side. I understand to make the stiles jut out a little on either side and then route smooth, but should I compensate for the bow by making the stile flush at mid span and then route more material at each end or somehow try to pull in the bow? Would appreciate any suggestions.
