I did some resawing and then made some box joints with the Incra iBox.
This tool worked out real nice and relatively quick.
FWIW if you think you might like to buy a drum sander it makes drawers
heights perfect after glue up, if they are 4" tall or less.
I used the drum sander to smooth out and finalize the 1/4" thickness of
the oak for these boxes and than used it to adjust the height to perfection.
For those of you that build lots of boxes and or drawers registering the
sides to the fronts and backs sometimes does not come out like we would
like. The drum sander makes every thing even.

No wobble what so ever.

Thank you. Next time you are out I will have to show you my new
musical/whistling in/out boxes in action!
Almost all of them make a whistling sound as they are pushed in and out.
Reverse them, front side in first and the whistle goes away. I have a
compression thing going on. Before I drum sanded the tops and bottoms I
had the cubby laying on its back with the holes openings facing up. I
could drop the boxes in their slots and it would take a second or two
for them to float to the bottoms of the hole. The more I sanded the
tops and bottoms of the boxes the easier they became to push in and pull
out. I could probably drill a hole in the back of each slot to eliminate
the whistle but I think I'll keep the whistle. ;~)

Solid white oak, and a who knows what plywood bottoms.

With a little tuning and proper technique, you could get the drawers to do
the classic wolf whistle. And we all know how much women like that! I am
sure your female clients would feel flattered by the whistles. LOL

He's got cylinders and pistons ... big part of getting that thing to run
his office equipment is solved.

Excellent. Always like seeing your work.

You know I admire your work, Leon. But I have to say, one of the
things I admire along with the craftsmanship is your ability turn out
so many pieces and parts the same, and then assemble them to the exact
tolerances you do.
One would think your drawers came off an automated assembly machine
they are so identical. Nicely done.
BTW, did you make them out of solid oak?

Tune them by size and have the whistle play Pachelbel's Canon in D and
you may be on to something. ;)
