Armoire Status Update

I spent the weekend working on one of the drawers for the armoire. It’s not done yet- I have to mill the pins for the half-blinds to finish up the dovetailing. Followed by cutting the grooves for the drawer bottom, installing the cleat and drawerslide clips, and cutting the two recesses in the drawer back that the drawerslides ride in.

When I actually sit and consider everything that needs to be done to make a drawer for this thing, I realize just how unrealistic my timeframe was for building them. I’d hoped I could build a drawer in a day or so. After roughly 12 hours, I’m still working on the dovetailing. Plus, I’ve got 2 more drawers after this.

Oy.
