After buying the wood for a
new dresser last weekend, I didn’t even touch it this weekend. I started
construction with the legs but used leftover oak for this part. The actual legs
are 1 ½” thick by 6” high cut with angles on both sides.
Between the legs the frame
is made of pieces ¾” by 1 ¾” and they are attached with pocket screws. In
between is some bracing, the plan is eventually to screw through these pieces into
the base of the box portion.
And now we know: cutting
small pieces with so many angles was a challenge. I had to use much larger
pieces and do the cuts strategically, so that there was wood to hold onto that
was far enough away from the saw blade.
