Very short video around 5 minutes or so..
Maybe add a minute or so and do the wrap of the whole room... with the fact that the designs of each piece intertwine.

I have been and of eyeballing the trimmer. I have a youtube review on my list of things to watch. My tools are all M18 so I hope I can just get the bare tool when I am ready.

Oh, and on Rockler’s site, I typed in glides and it said no info found. Typed in slides and they popped up. Tomaters or tomatoes!
I think Rocklers search is pretty close to useless. You almost need the item or stock number to make it work. Woodcraft isn't much better.

In my un-solicited, un-scientific and un-professionally trained opinion, shellac made from flakes goes on nicer and looks better then out of the can. And as mentioned above flakes store real well and you just need a small can of Denatured Alcohol to make an emergency batch. The flake made stuff drys faster then the canned stuff.
This is the cheapest place have found. Pretty fast on the ship too. https://wellermart.com

Guess I'll really be testing how soon after ARS you can apply WB..lol
Would have been a good time for some garnet shellac. By the time you wiped it on the forth shelf, you could have sanded and sprayed the first. Just for the future thought, you can keep the flakes in a air tight container like a mason jar, in a cool, dark location and they last a long, long time.

I don't know if it's "good" info
We'll be the judge of that, lol.

I don't have anything that wide, I do have a dresser with 34 inch wide drawers that look and operate fine. I also have a 150 year old slant front desk with 32 inch wide drawers which still function well.

Thats a bummer abut the cutters being off. When I was doing my kitchen doors recently I brain farted and didn't allow for the tongue on the rails. It worked out where each set went down one size and I had to make new ones for the smallest sets of rails.
I number on the end grain then once I have the joint cut I start labeling the tenon and mortises. I have gotten pretty good at writing legibly inside a mortise. I use a number and letter on everything, i.e. 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, so matting mortise and tenons will both say 1a.
And like you said it is a matter of coming up with your system.

Thats a nice find Jamie.
I wonder if you new machine was dusty because of being hocked up to a less the proper dust collector.

There's one I play that you have to sign a waiver to not sue the course if you're attacked by a bear.
I don't play but I understand the number one rule in golf is you always allow bears and gators to play through.

I do wish I'd of refinished these!
I am sure you meant pre-finished. This is something that I have started to had to my notes as I go along. There were a number of things on my last project that I pre-finished and was really glad I did.

I can't think of any process that would make me want to plunge cut on a TS, it just seems like a process that would do nothing but create an open opportunity for a kick back. My choices, in order of preference, would be hand held router with my two fences, plunge on the router table or a rabbet and then a fill strip on the inside like you did with your bathroom door project.

You showed it in the Chest of Drawers and the Desk was also the same wasn't it. I would think referencing would be fine especially given the fact that it is all part of a big project for the same room.

I really want to keep it at 2!
Why?
If you have enough stuff to make it three, why not do it. Don't start cutting back on the detail now. If you make it, people will watch it. 😄

That Is a great Poem
I have one serious complaint about Memorial Day. It bothers me beyond words I can us on the forum that so many companies use Memorial Day as a reason to by their products. I wish there was more reverence connected with the day.

I think I keep too much small ply scrap!
I got tired of moving and knocking over smaller pieces of ply to get to the other so I culled the pile. I got too heavy handed, a month latter had to cut some off a large piece to make a jig for the nightstand project.
Cleaning out the wood racks can be a real Catch 22.

Yea, where you are looks like a good place to split the videos by making it two not one and like Bryan said doing two would give you a video in your cache if the next trip needs it.
I think you have some nice detail in the list above I think the 15 minutes of each two videos will go by pretty quick for the viewer.

Can I ask just briefly, What is in this video and what would be in the second. Are these two videos the only two pertaining to the actual construction of the night stands. Milling if I remember is a totally separate video.

it just seems like a lot of extra work for nothing.
Yea I am sure there is some tradition but tradition can be a good thing. I have a Queen Anne slant front desk sitting behind me that is 150 years old and it has panels not frames. As far as a lot of extra work, I guess, but I enjoy the journey with things like this and making dovetail drawer slides so I don't think of it as a lot of extra work.
But bottom line is this, I am pretty sure that my shop teacher has passed but where ever he may be, if he heard me call what you are doing anything else then a dust panel he would still give me an F

Darn good thing I went with poplar as it was close to $400 which included 2 sheets of 3/4” birch ply and 1 ea. Of 1/2” and 1/4”. Also included soft maple for the drawer, 1/2 of which will go thru the planer.
My thinking is this. Non of us want to pay more then we have to for lumber, but you wouldn't be able to buy the quality you are going to build for $400.

I can understand the difference but, why would anyone make a "panel" with a thinner center section vs just making one solid piece? They perform exactly the same function.
It would change the weight, especially the bigger the piece gets.
