The 135 degree drawer is moving toward completion
Bill Tindall, E.Tn.
As a reminder the picture shows the shape of the drawer. The sides are dovetailed into the drawer fronts with the usual half blinds and the other 4 joints are 135 degree dovetails. The 135 degree dovetails are not going as well as I expected. Occasional gaps are showing up in the outside of the joint between atail and pin intersection. It is a sawing error but I don't know how it is occurring.
I took a break before the last(back) joint and did the half blinds, probably to shore up my confidence, but also this is the order that makes sense. These came out predictable, so it's not like I forgot how to saw dovetails.
After completing what is shown in the picture I can measure, rather than calculate, what the length of the back must be to keep the sides parallel. No doubt when I make the last joint I will have figured out what I needed to do on the others
