That's an excellent book. Add Frank Klausz' "Dovetail a Drawer" DVD.


If you decide to go with the Frank Klausz DVD you might find
this set of notes useful when you head for the shop. Mr.
Klausz does a very thorough job of describing all the steps
and procedures for making a hand cut, through dovetailed
inset drawer. It's when you go out to apply what he's taught
you that the fun begins. That's were these "notes" may
come in handy.

BTW - DON"T assume that your stock is flat, edges straight
and square to the faces or that the ends are square - UNLESS
you made them so. Any twists, bows, cups etc. will raise all
kinds of hell when it comes to inset drawers. And if you made
the opening "square" it don't hurt to check that what you
thing you did and what you actually did are the same.

Fun stuff making drawers. Now is it "loose in the winter" /
"tight in the summer" when you're doing the fit?
