Two 3 inch screws in each corner The bottom has 7 screws along the long edges and 5 down the sides. The drawer front is held on by 4. I have to take it back apart because I wanted it fitted before I glued it. I bought some dowel rod that will be glued in as well. Once it comes back out and is glued I'll stain it before it goes back in. I'll stain the entire drawer except the front which will get stained when the box is complete.Looks marvelous!
How many screws in each corner and what's the distance between the screws on the bottom?
Is the front glued and/or screwed on and are those knobs fastened from inside the drawer?
Man, this is a kick-*** build.
The only other thing I have ever build out of wood was a deck on the back of my house with the help of my wife. No real skill involved in that one other than making sure it square and level but I have never as much as built a step. Now my sons have some skills and if I need some advice they are as close as the phone. My oldest came over and had to show me how to use my table saw. The only thing I know is I look at it and think about building with steel except with wood you can't weld it back on. I've built tube chassis cars so I have some fabrication skills but have never done anything like this with wood. Putting that first drawer in made my day. So much sanding!
Thanks for the compliments!! It's been a learning process for sure. I can't wait until I start loading it up
I really don't know what makes up a good table saw or a bad one but to be honest I am really well pleased with this tool so far. Being this is the first one I've ever used I don't think I'm qualified to give an accurate assesment. I will say that it's getting the job done. This is something I'll hang onto for sure. For me I give it two thumbs up. For a pro who needs serious precision maybe not. With this saw I wouldn't fear the next job near as much.
She's getting slack, she's already asked twice for an advance on her cat food and laid out for two days
Looks like it is coming together real nice.Holeshot,
Looks like you may have a calling as a cabinet maker.
I'm leaving the veneer on the edges I don't like the tape. Just would feel fake after all the real wood in the box. I had thought about bookmatching the front but I want to be able to see the drawers. Using random peices of wood breaks up the drawers and gives the box definition. I just didn't wannt to cose all the drawers and the front of the box look like one large sheet of wood with a bunch of knobs on it.
Nice work Mrholeshot! You are good at wood working. I'm a bit worried about the casters though. That wood will probably be heavier than the metal equivalent. You probably don't have Grainger Supply near you but I picked up some excellent casters there for around $50 a piece. Five-inch Two-locking casters, all are swivel type. They each have a 450lb weight rating for a total of 1800lb load factor for my welding table.
Thanks for the show.

you should've bought 2 HF boxes, took the casters off, then returned em and said there were no casters and that you have decided to get a different box elsewhere
