A few more pictures. These 2 just need lining and handles on cherry. I am waiting for more handles to get here. I liked the rosewood knobs but the color is wrong.
Another....Jewelry box (5)

Beautful boxes Mike. very well done.
He's in denial, he's a latheafobe, I think he's afraid he might like it and become a spinner as well as a flathead.

The 9 yr old chickened out and stuck with grandma all day. The 11 yr old caught and released 15 cutthroats (you have to release cutthroats) and in the end caught the last fish 15" and it gave him a great fight. Big smiles. Saw a moose and wore poor grandpa out. We had a great time.

Thanks Jimmy- the drawers are a lot of work but you can use small special pieces of wood, especially on this small of a drawer. I think bookmatch really adds to the look and you do not see it much. It really does not add that much work. Well worth the extra bang for your buck.........
Mike maybe I missed it. How did you connect the drawer faces to the drawer boxes. Do you have a copy of the drawers out of the frame?

You did not miss- I did not show it!! :dash2::dash2::dash2:
First I make all the drawers- get them sliding easily. A lot of times if they hang up the 90 degree slide corners need rounded off.
I bookmatch -glue and sanded face flat. Then I size face- first width with bookmatch in center. Then I start at bottom and figure out the height needed- set the table saw and cut to that height. Position piece and check fit. Then I glue and clamp to drawer subface while it is in case. I wedge the drawer to one side as I glue all of them so when they get done They all line up. I hope that helps and if it does not please ask and I will explain more.

OK Barry I am back- had to finish the Barbecue. The bottom drawer - pictured- it's face is just a little taller then the next 2. It is flush to drawer top but sticks below about 1/4 to cover bottom gap. Now once first drawer face sets up- 45 minutes. I started on next. Careful measurements- I use a scrap of 1/4" plywood to test. I bend a piece of cardboard or a thick business card to fit on top of bottom drawer- this assures me of a consistent gap but enough that drawer faces do not hang up on adjacent drawers. This cardboard is what I measure to top of drawer from. Cut the test plywood- clamp in place- remove cardboard and hopefully all is well. If so I use that measurement to cut next slice off of book match. Glue it to face - clamp- let dry and move up to next drawer- rinse and repeat until done. Wait a day then gently sand edges- face was already sanded to 180. Then I put a 1/16+ 45 around the edge of each drawer. It looks clean- reduces wer and tear on delicate edge and conceals small irregularities that are just there. Now this may sound difficult but it actually is quite easy to get very nice fronts this way. This cherry one pictured was the thinnest at 3/16's- persimmon about 7/16's
PS- verbiage is not my best gig- it was a helluva lot easier to do then write down. So if you do not get it - it is my fault- ask me to clarify- I want to see ya make these for the grand daughters!!!!!!
