Skyhook
The
aim is to float the drawer cases above the bases.
There
are two stretchers running across the top, and these join the sides
with sliding dovetails ...
The
sides, and hence the sockets, are angled at approximately 3 degrees,
and the mating dovetails need to be angled to match ...
The
ends are sawn away ...
...
dovetailed ...
...
and fitted ...
These
stretchers are made lower than the aprons to hide them from sight.
The
stretchers require a raised section, and these are finished with
curved ends made by a hole saw bit on the drill press ..
...
and sanded ...
The
completed rests for the drawer cases ...
Later,
all will be glued and screwed together.
Checking the effect
