With the side panel frames concluded, we prepare for the addition of plywood panels that give the benefit of rigidity in the final assembly. The oak lippings are grooved and fitted to add a complete look, ready for assembling the main carcass of the wardrobe.
Building the frames for the wardrobe sides is the first half of the making, and in this episode, we walk through how we get the random slats to look uniform and distinctive.
In this episode, Paul walks you through what is a more unusual mortise and tenon joint for hand tool woodworkers. Using a step-by-step approach ensures that each joint is successful using only hand tools.
