Now, set up your dado blades to cut the 1/2" wide x 3/8"
deep dadoes in the sides (A) that
will accept the bottom and shelf. Cut the same size (1/2"
x 3/8") groove and rabbet in the back to accept the 1/2" thick
shelf (H) and desk bottom (G).
Using the same 1/2" dado set-up, re-adjust your table saw's
depth-of-cut to 1/4" and cut the dadoes in the top surface
of the bottom (G) and the bottom
surface of the shelf (H) to accept
the drawer partition (J).
Re-set your dado blade for a 3/4" wide cut and create a 3/8"
deep stop rabbet in the sides (A)
to accept the 3/4" thick back (E).
This rabbet cut should stop at the bottom of the desk bottom
(G). Use a chisel to square the
end of your cut.
Using your bandsaw or scroll saw, cut the bottom profiles
for the sides (A), then drum
sand the edges smooth.
Tilt your saw table to 25 degrees and use your rip fence
as a guide (see Fig 1.) to cut the beveled top edge of the
back (E). Without changing your
table tilt, re-set your rip fence to cut the same 25 degree
bevels on the top edge of the front (F)
-- and the front edge of the top strip (C).
Assemble and glue the partition (J)
to the shelf (H) and bottom (G).
Glue and clamp the sides (A) to
the shelf and the bottom. Glue and assemble the back (E),
front (F) and top strip (C)
into position. Cut and assemble the stock for the drawer.
Finish sand the entire project and apply the finish of your
choice. Attach the top to the top strip with hinges and enjoy.
