IDENTIFYING DRAWER PARTS

It is recommended that scrap lumber be used when making your first dovetail cut so all adjustments and fits can be
checked to insure a satisfactory joint. Once the templet and router have been set up to rout a satisfactory dovetail
joint, any number of joints can be made.

1.

Arrange the drawer front and side pieces as shown in Fig. 2.

NOTE: Ends of front and side pieces must be cut square with the length of the pieces to produce good
dovetail joints.

2.

Mark the “outside”, “inside” and “ends” of each piece as shown in Fig. 2.
