Dovetail construction




to make the draw i made a dovetail joint in the front. this is because if it was just a glue join, the constant pulling would mean it would eventually give way. the dovetail join gives it more support. when making the join i used the router and the dovetail jig. when using this i used earmuffs and safety glasses to protect from the chips and screeching noise of the metal on metal. the problem with this jig is that the pin and hole are exactly the same size therefore don´t fit. i used a file to takeoff a millimetre of each pin so they fit snugly.
