This is my first attempt at a woodworking. Instead of making a simple shelf, I decided on duplicating this workshop hutch like the one Norm did on the NYW. Almost everything is done with the exception of a few trims and the biggest thing, the drawers. I am starting to get frustrated. I don't know where to begin with the drawers, where to cross-cut the panels and the dimensions to make them.
The slides need 1/2 inch per side. The cabinet dimensions are 30 1/4 in high and 36 14/16 wide. I want to build two big drawers and a small one in each side. I started cutting the sides of the top drawer and they are 5 in high. That's where I'm stuck. It is extremely hard to work in a place that is full of stuff. I can hardly walk without stepping on something. I want to finish this so I can start organizing the shop. Any help on how to continue tackling this? I spent about 2 hours today making test dovetail joints so as to not screw up the actual project. Thanks.
I am thinking it would be easier to cross-cut the panels using my Porter Cable 314 trim saw and a guide. Any suggestions?:huh:
