I hope you haven’t been holding your breath for this episode because it took me long enough to get it out. Time to return to the Queen Anne Table and get busy with the details that really make it a Queen Anne period piece.
Enjoy the show!

Shannon,
In addition to angling the cutout towards the inside of the apron, many Queen Anne pieces also had a small (1/8″ or so) chamfer along the inside edge of the cutout. This chamfer helps when rasping and filing the cutout so you don’t get tear out.
Great video. Can’t wait to learn how to fit a drawer.

Chuck, you’re the one who taught me how to fit a drawer! You cut a board to slightly larger than the hole and pound it into place with a big mallet until it fits. When the customer complains, just tell them it is the humidity and to check again in 6 months. If they call back 6 months later, tell them it is a secret puzzle drawer and they have to figure out the solution. The calls should stop after that.

Nope my first love is still all of your reading and watching this blog. I still have a lot of shop footage to edit and get up here so I’m not going anywhere, just slowing down a little as the hours in the day shrink.
