Bet you thought this project found its way into a dumpster :) No!
The idea for the Tim Burton table popped into my head and I put this project aside since I was at a point where I needed to decide on a few things before being able to proceed. I'm not good at having a big design laid out at the start although this project has had to force that a few times, including now!
In this episode,we'll glue-up the drawer tier boxes and show how you can easily clamp ridiculous compound angles... a method that's equally useful for regular mitered corners.
I cut the panel to the lines with the tracksaw and have a few tips on how to make lining it up easier.
Lastly, there's prepping the panel for installation into the box, which delves into the design of the drawer a bit and why a chamfer into a rabbet is a good idea.
Not an action-packed tool-cam video, but hopefully some take away. Next episode of this project build will make the drawer webbing on the inside. ...and I haven't forgotten about the 3 remaining episodes for the Tim Burton table (No Comment #2).

Naturally, I like woodworking as a hobby, but an ice hockey tournament will easily get me out of the shop :)

This was a really great episode, learning about the reasoning behind first rate craftsmanship and design has got to be more important than just ogling droolworthy tools! Thanks for this, I learnt a lot.
Thanks, Gary!
