Pro method
Setup is easy.
Registering off
the front edge of
the side, its easy
to clamp the jig
square and cut
dadoes and dovetails precisely.
Dovetail meets dado. Use a -in. dovetail bit to cut the dovetail notch for the front and back rails
(above left). Without moving the jig (Becksvoort has two identical routers so he doesnt have to
change bits), use a -in. straight bit to cut the dado that will hold the drawer runners (above right).

BUILT TO LAST
Half-blind dovetails, sliding dovetails, and dadoes ensure decades
of flawless function. A frame-and-panel back makes the chest look
good from all directions.

Pro method
HALF-BLIND DOVETAILS
IN LARGE PANELS
Half-blind dovetails make a strong but
clean-looking case. They can be a challenge
on big pieces, but Becksvoort has tricks for
keeping the pieces flat and aligned.
to 4 in. at the front of the sliding dovetail. Because the dovetail slot is deep, it
weakens the sides of the case, so I added
five glue blocks underneath each side. This
strengthens and anchors the lower sections
of the case sides to the bottom, yet still
allows for wood movement.
38
The four drawers are separated by a vertical divider that is cut to fit after the case
is assembled. With a handsaw, notch the
vertical divider to accept the notched front
and back rails, and then slide it in place.
These notches line up with the dadoes that
are already in the vertical divider. Dont
glue the vertical divider in place because it
is an end-grain to long-grain joint, and glue
wont hold. Instead, screw it in place, plugging the holes in the bottom. The holes in
the subtop will be covered by the top.
The bottom drawers run on the bottom
of the case, but the top drawers run on a
frame: two rails and four drawer runners.
The runners are tenoned into the front and
back rails. The tenons get glued into the
front rail but are left loose in the back rail
to allow for wood movement.

TIP
NAIL DOWN
THE TAIL BOARD
TO MARK PINS
Mark the location
of the tails on the
pin board. On long,
wide workpieces,
Becksvoort uses a
small nail to help in
the transfer. Align
the boards and
predrill. Tap in the
nail partway so it can
be easily removed
(above right). Using
a marking knife and
working from the
nailed corner, scribe
the tails onto the
pin board (below
right). Pivot the tail
board into alignment
whenever necessary.

is an added
challenge. A

applies even
pressure, keeping
the long board on
track and the cut
precise. Go for a
