How to fit Drawers?
I am making two Maple dressers. I have the carcasses finished; however,
I am getting ready to make the drawers. I will be making the drawer fronts out of Walnut with the back and sides made from Brown Maple. The front and back will be attached using a through dovetail. To achieve this I bought the Leigh dovetail jig. I have read quite a bit about making the drawers. I have also used the Leigh jig once and ended up with pretty good results for my first attempt - good for a first time but not good enough for the dresser. My question! I am looking for suggestions from people who have made or make drawers. How do I fit these things? I have read that I can fit the drawer width pretty close to the opening; however the height of the drawer needs to have a gap to allow for the expansion. I am also attaching to the bottom of the drawers hardware to allow for smooth action (brought these from Lee Valley's). |
