Excellent, detailed methodical process. Appreciate the attention to detail.
Only one thing that keeps distracting me, what's up with the dried glue drips on the beautiful tool chest drawer behind him?
I've enjoyed every episode, and am building my own chest along the way (and learning a lot!)
One question -- what is the depth of the dado here before the dove is cut? Matt doesn't mention where he sets the marking gauge, and I don't see the depth listed on the plans.
Cut that dado on cross cut sled all the way through on both frames. Would give a nice 1/8 groove in the web to drop in the drawer divider as well.
