Glad you're enjoying the project. The dry rehearsal has definitely saved me many heartaches in the past. It is definitely gratifying to see things finally come together. More to come soon! --Mark David,

Great advice on the dry glue-up rehearsal. The legs look beautiful. It must have been very gratifying to see the sub-assemblies come together so nicely! Mark -

Just glue - long grain to long grain. It's pretty flush after the glue-up, probably just a few passes with a card scraper and it will be perfect. --Mark Neil,

Actually the back of the drawer runner is not attached to the back apron. Rather, if you look closely in the last couple of pictures, you will see a counter-bored hole at the back of the runner. There is a screw there in a slightly enlarged hole that connects the runner to the back leg. As far as scraping, and sanding, I did some smoothing of the aprons and legs before assembly. So, those parts need a final sanding - maybe a couple of grits on the legs. However, if you look closely at some of the pictures you will see that the (side) outside faces of the leg posts are still rough from the band saw. These need to be smoothed to be flush with the aprons - actually I started this task on the front of the table and it's a bit tedious because the knees on the legs don't allow a plane to really get in there - so, it's most card scraper work. I could have done this before assembly if I did not want the parts to all be flush. Kind of interesting how seeing something can evoke our other senses to bring us back to a previously experienced situation...like the smell of Cherry in the shop. --Mark Hey Neil,

I was wondering, how far are you along in scraping and final sanding of the parts that you just assembled??? Also did you use wafers or something to aid in aligning the glue-up of the drawer extension to the back of the apron? Kinda weird but when I saw the assembly and the up close of the drawer frame, reminded me of the smell of a shop working cherry. Neil Hi Mark………
