Yesterday's progress...
Yesterday was "Drawer Day"
I wanted to use the same pine panelling cutouts for the fronts of the drawers as I did with the cupboard doors to keep the look the same. The problem was that I couldn't use the same approach as I did with teh doors because that would leave me with nothing but 1/4 paneling to screw the drawers to so I had to take a different approach.
Started by taking the board I had ( yes still working off the same $11 for the door trim, but my error it was 16" wide, not 12") and ripped 1-1/4" of each side of it. Then planed down the centre piece until it plus the panel were the same thickness of the original board
