Bandsaw Boxes

Cut out the drawer bodies
Follow the lines you drew and cut out the insides of the drawers. Once removed, the insides can be discarded.(See Fig. 8)

Finish the drawers
Do any light sanding on the drawer pieces at this time because it's easier to sand the insides before they're re-assembled. Then, glue the sides of the drawers back onto the bodies. Once the glue has dried, lightly re-sand the glue joints.(See Fig. 9)

Finish the carcase
Do any light sanding to the inside of the carcase at this time. It will be easier to reach your fingers inside the drawer holes before the sides are glued on. Then, glue the outer sides of the box back onto the carcase. Once the glue has dried, re-sand the glue joints. Your Bandsaw box is now finished and ready to be stained, oiled or varnished - and to have drawer pulls attached. (See Fig. 10)

Another Example
This photo shows how the construction differs for a one-drawer box. (See Fig. 11)

Suggested retail price: $20 to $30 each , depending on wood
