Drawers for the wood shop

[bigarm]

[attachthumb=2]Not nearly as nice as most of the projects on here, but a good step for me as I have only been doing this about a year.  The drawers were made with 4mm dominos as well as the drawer fronts aligned with them.  [attachthumb=1]

Looks good!  Shop made cabinets are great to practice on

Looks great!  I dovetailed a drawer today for my flip top tool stand but I made an 8 foot bank of drawers of plywood pocket screwed together.  They work but are certainly a lot worse looking than yours.

if you had to do it over again, would you use 4mm Dominos the next time or chose more traditional joinery?
Very posh workbench you have now - well done [cool]

I did the same thing again with the drawers for my desk in the work shop.  It worked well.

Cleaned the workbench today.

My experience with the Domino and drawers proved to me that you just can't make drawers which are faster and stronger and more square than with dominos. They are much more accurate and yield squarer drawers than pocket holes, plus very strong when glued up. The only reason for me to use other joinery for drawers is if I want the look of dovetails or box joints but for shop drawers, practice with dovetails is the only reason I'd use them instead of Dominos.

Nice work!

I love the combination of walnut and ambrosia maple.  Reminds me of the handtool wall cabinet I built a few years ago...

This was back in my hand cut dovetail days - before I got my Domino.  [big grin]
