Drawers

I'm finally getting around to building the drawers for the built-in dresser in the loft bedroom. Pretty standard for the most part, Baltic birch plywood boxes with a 1/4 inch dado slot hard board bottoms. The real difference of these drawers are the box corner joinery using the Kreg Jig system for pilot drilling the very steep angle holes for the screws. The Kreg Jig is available at most home stores and on line at Rockler Woodworking and McFeeley's, not to mention many more locations at Amazon tools.com. This system has worked pretty slick so far and gives you the option of putting your screws on the inside or the outside which ever you prefer. For this project I am screwing and gluing to get the added strength needed to handle the abuse that drawers inevitably get. If this goes well I may try to build some teak tables and chairs for the dock and boat. Most likely it will be the table first, as Lisa has been after me for a while now to fabricate a table for the fly bridge. The Kreg Jig should work just fine with star board and other synthetic lumber products used to make marine grade items. Enjoy the pictures and feel free to post questions or comments that you might have by using the comment tab at the bottom of each posting.
