Usually I follow all the tips from this book, but this time I was a bit confused.\u00a0 I didn&#8217;t like the way of shaping these parts &#8211; with a small drum sander held in a flexible-shaft machine. I tried it and found the results inconsistent. Working with a bandsaw was absolutely different experience, very easy and precise.\u00a0 The original thickness of a stock was 8 mm and I shaped it to 2 mm.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"\u0414\u0430\u043b\u0435\u0435...\" src=\"http:\/\/inchscaled.com\/wp-includes\/js\/tinymce\/plugins\/wordpress\/img\/trans.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"2\" src=\"https:\/\/victoriamorozovaminiatures.com\/imgproxy.php?url=aHR0cDovL2Zhcm04LnN0YXRpY2ZsaWNrci5jb20vNzI3NC83MDE3MDEzNjA3XzZiOGFmYzA3NzBfei5qcGc%3D\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then\u00a0 I cut dovetails for the dividers and glides.
