Sculpted Mahogany Vanity - Reinforcing the Drawer Handles

Back from a great weekend at WIA '11... so glad this video was ready to go!

We shaped the integral drawer handles last episode, but it seems like a good idea to reinforce those rabbet handles to keep the fibers from eventually pulling away... especially on that bottom drawer where I plan on hiding my stash of bowling balls and anvils.

I've used variations on this technique on a number of projects, none of which look like any of the others. That said, I think you'll find it useful when you need to reinforce something clandestinely.

In the next episode, the drawer fronts get applied and finish applied. Then all that's left is hanging it up, which is great because I'm tired of having the granite top in the hallway!! Actually, if you watched the Domino SCG-10 review video, it was to the point of applying the finish in the background.

Some Projects

Angle Madness! a diamond-shaped entertainment center.
Tim Burton Table a five-legged demilune that would fit naturally in a Tim Burton film.
Sculpted Mahogany Vanity a wall-mounted vanity with a granite top.
The After-Earthquake Detector a fun project with the Bridge City JMPv2; this is John Economaki's project we built as a WIA'11 demo.
A small card box was a project Charles Neil created and I needed a Christmas present :) This was the first project in the No Comment format.
Quilted Maple Picture Frame was a project for my best friend for a massive painting he got on his honeymoon.
Floating-Top Figured Eucalyptus end table was a quick one-day build; the finish took longer, naturally :)
French-knot Walnut Inlay in Cork Floor was making the landing for my stairs; super easy.
Jewelry box inserts was mostly a project to show using the Bridge City JMPv2 and HP-6v2 plane; add gilding and it's more fun.
