More oak

[mailee]

I started machining up the AWO today.
I got half of it done and decided to have a break and start on a cutlery insert the customer had asked for along with the computer desk. I set up the router table and within a couple of hours I had the thing assembled.

I left the base loose as it will be covered in some baize. I shall get the machining finished on Monday and make a start on the desk.

Lovely looking wood.

Can you give any more detail on the cutlery insert? Once my workshop is build one of my first projects will be to try and make inserts for my kitchen drawers. For example, what is the thickness of the timber and is it just glued in place?

Any tips will be filed away for future reference.

Terry.

Thanks Terry. The wood is around 10mm thick and it is just glued together. I used a jig on my router table to make the box joints and one of my RAS's with a dado blade on for the rebates. I shall glue some baize onto the bottom which is sat in a recess and then glue and pin it in place. HTH.
