I didn't go into that detail in the posting: just the idea of making the dent with the wire, planing it flat, then assembling mechanically (nails or screws though he used nails).HalfInchShyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633026047989713624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-74950897001105747822011-12-21T12:16:30.950-07:002011-12-21T12:16:30.950-07:00Thanks Paul-Marcel.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen the video (2+ years), but if I remember correctly (highly questionable), he did this to the bottom edge of the side boards (right down the middle). He said he only used nails to fasten the 4 side boards to the bottom board (through the bottom flat board into the edge of the side boards). When the water tried to seep out between the bottom of the side boards and the bottom board it would swell the compressed wood in the middle area and form a seal. I thought that was a great idea. <br /><br />DeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-73541788922728977332011-12-21T11:46:28.376-07:002011-12-21T11:46:28.376-07:00Definitely try the Frank method, Ralph... nothing ...Definitely try the Frank method, Ralph... nothing wrong with your way, but adding another way is alway a good thing!<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of that, Dean... I amended the posting to add that detail; I remember doing that to the box I later made, but should have put it here.HalfInchShyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04633026047989713624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-33109968045480627892011-12-21T09:30:29.672-07:002011-12-21T09:30:29.672-07:00I saw a hand tool video that Frank did in the ‘80’...I saw a hand tool video that Frank did in the ‘80’s. He showed how to make the “water box” in that video. Did he demonstrate the use of a heavy gauge wire he used to make the box?<br /><br />DeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703009255391882847.post-2914964297480117052011-12-21T04:33:29.771-07:002011-12-21T04:33:29.771-07:00I watched the VHS version of Frank's dovetail ...I watched the VHS version of Frank's dovetail a drawer so much I wore it out. I had to buy the DVD version. I still haven't tried the layout Frank uses but after 10-15 years, I'll be a pretty good beginner. Then I'll try his layout and I might also switch to pins first.<br />ralphRalph Boumenothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606484453109932074noreply@blogger.com
