Working out the Overarm Router on a Small Cabinet
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2016 5:41 pm
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:
Happy Woodworking!
