Term 2 Week 5

I have glued the frame together and attached a small piece of 19 x 12 x 238 to the back of the frame.  This is instead of a back, I can use it to put screws through if I decide to mount it upside down on the wall (as shown below).  It will also stop the drawer sliding right through if I leave it sitting on a bench. I had to adjust the size of my drawer to only 103mm deep, this will leave it flush at the front when the drawer is fully in.

I have also made the drawer (as shown below). I just glued and clamped it so that there weren't any nails visible from the front.

Term 2 Week 4

I am back online, my blog packed it in for a couple of days.
I have glued my frame together and started making the drawer.

timber for drawer

I got the timber with the dimensions as per diagram.

The timber has a slot cut on the table saw. This slot is to hold the drawer bottom.

Term 2 Week 3

I've cut all 4 through housing joints.
Next I drilled the  holes for the turned piece using a 25mm spade bit (making sure they lined up exactly)

I will next cut out the shape using the dimensions below.
