After all of the lumber was finial milled to the proper thickness and lengths, the front of each of the four drawer blades for the case need a 1″ x “1 notch cut in the front corner of each drawer blade.. The notch provides the space necessary for the turned fluted quarter columns that flank the drawers in the chest.. We used a marking gauge to define the waster material, then use a cross cut sled on the table saw to waste the material..

Finally off to the bandsaw to remove the remaining waste.. We cut a bit shy of the line and pare off the remaining material..
