now that I have a all the bits cut out, I need to smooth surface them, and allow them to rest to equalize humidity with the existing shop. 2 days. then I repeat the process 2 more times, reducing the movement sequentially as much as possibe to end up with the final thickness. see above.


Then I start cutting the dovetails to be sure where they are and line up properly.
I hate cutting dadoes through a dovetail "OUCH" dumb. but of course I would never do a such  thing...
again and again. slow learner.

so all the dovetails are done:  hard to see but they are there.
lets see how they fit: rough fit not bad.

near the blue pencil will be the bottom drawer.. eventually Ill get to it later.
