Good morning! The cabinet back panels are not completed and installed into the Butler's desk. If any were wondering my reasoning behind having fully blind dados to hold the web frames, it should now be apparent, at least, in terms of aesthetics. Having the web frames installed into blind dados allowed me to retain full thickness of the outside carcass in the view from the back of the case.

PS, Almost all of the chisel stickers are now removed.

Good morning! Now that the case is complete, I've been building the drawers. These are 'Piston Fit' Drawers, fitting tightly to the case. In a deviation from previous builds I've broken up with plywood drawer bottoms and used QS white
oak.

Good morning! The main desk drawer on the butler's desk is now completed. You may notice a departure in how this drawer is made from the typical, being that I have through tenons at the back of the drawer and extensions on the sides.

Chris, now you can only live vicariously through the internet for the moment....please enjoy :mrgreen:

Good morning! I've prepared this week's update on the cabinet desk that I'm building. I've finished up the desk area and accompanying sliding tray.

Good morning! I've been whittling away on the Butler's desk and wanted to share the progress I've made. At this point the overall design is visible in it's near entirety, with the drawer pull recesses cut, the chamfers applied and the finish now also being applied.

Something is up with the images. Chris what does the error; 'It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image' mean?

No idea what is up with the image processing Brian. I guess try again, and if it still doesn't work, email me the pic(s) and I'll try and insert them for you.

This is an old and very out of date version of the forum PHPBB, and I've had no luck getting it updated or migrating to another provider who can help out.
