I rip the door panels to final width.
I do a test profile to check the fit. The white pencil marks are 1/4" in from the edge.

These lines disappear into the groove which tells me I have the depth I want. I put blobs of silicone rubber glue in the grooves as opposed to space balls. This lets me position the panels and 24 hours later I have them setting just where I want them in custom fitted space balls.

Not much makes it into apiece in my shop directly from the machine although there are exceptions. These panels and the drawer fronts will get a kiss from the Millers Falls No.9 (Millers Falls defines their planes by actual length) which is the equivalent of a Stanley No. 4.

OK, test fit is good. Let's move on . . .

I keep a piece of chalk in a holder in my apron. I use it for all sorts of witness marks to help me track my progress (or lack thereof) while working the material.

My old buddy Gulf Wax steps in to make my hand tools move smoother.

A raking light is always helpful when trying to assure a surface prep is "done".

And the drawers and doors will look sort of like so.

I still need to glue up the door frames and then profile the outer edges of them.

However, it is getting close and I am excited to lay on some finish.
