I hope you haven’t been holding your breath for this episode because it took me long enough to get it out. Time to return to the Queen Anne Table and get busy with the details that really make it a Queen Anne period piece with the scroll work on the lower rail and some decorative details on the legs and top.
Enjoy the show!
Shannon,
In addition to angling the cutout towards the inside of the apron, many Queen Anne pieces also had a small (1/8″ or so) chamfer along the inside edge of the cutout. This chamfer helps when rasping and filing the cutout so you don’t get tear out.
Great video. Can’t wait to learn how to fit a drawer.
Chuck, you’re the one who taught me how to fit a drawer! You cut a board to slightly larger than the hole and pound it into place with a big mallet until it fits. When the customer complains, just tell them it is the humidity and to check again in 6 months. If they call back 6 months later, tell them it is a secret puzzle drawer and they have to figure out the solution. The calls should stop after that.
Welcome back Shannon; thought we were old news, what with all your new friends down at the museum and everything 
Good episode, by the way, lots of good tips.
ok so im about 3 mins into the video and ……turn that rasp over on those convex curves!!! ahhhh! sorry It was like watching someone chew with their mouth open! use the flat side when working on convex, the round side on concave unless the convex curve is tiny, which in this case it is not, ok, now ill go back to watching the rest of the video!
