Today I started working on the box again. It has been over a year now since I last left it. I found it both in better shape and worse shape then I expected. apparently in transport I lost on of the rails for the lowest drawer - this will take soem redoing asa I do not have very many precision tools to work with. Box it is always nice to see that one of the drawers fits fien and is all oiled up - and one of the felt pieces fits better then i thought. Today I will take on a small project and try to finish it - the other drawer.
the other drawer gets wider at the back then at the front, and the middle divider makes the middle of the drawer wider then the opening. I have decided that the slight tightness to the back of the drawer is a good thing - it will prevent the drawer from beign accidentally pulled out. I reduced the length of the middle piece by about 1/16 to 3/32 both the tennons and the overall length. now the drawer fits perfectly with the slight tighness at the back whcih means that I can oil it! time for coat # 1 for the second drawer.
