Working out the Overarm Router on a Small Cabinet

[nuhobby]

I thought I'd share a new project, almost done, making good use of the overarm router system (since it's there!).

Here was the original carcass scheme, based on rabbeted corners done with the overarm router:

Here is the scheme of the side-hung drawers; again the router system helped make these interlocking parts; shown here oversized and needing trimming down:

Here is some tidying-up possible on a full-built drawer, by jigging it into a sliding sled I have on my overarm router station. I used shims to lock the drawer in place:

Here is the so-far fruit of the labors, a small valet/case intended for one of my nieces, almost done. Here fitting those drawers with fine-trimming:

Looks good! And good to see the OPR, because I just got one!

I like it! Love to see that OPR in action. Never seen one before in person.

This project is pretty much built now, just some finishing and felt-lining types of things to do. Here are closed and open views:
