Went home to NC where my dad taught me how to make dovetails. Time was tight, but we put together a box with three drawers, based on the prospect box from a desk designed by Thomas White. We got it to the final stages- just needs final sand/fitting to be finished. Here are some pictures of the process:
the original piece of walnut that we cut to size for two boxes with three drawers
the shop and the new planer(click photo for entire view...)
chiseling out the halfblind tails for the horizontal sides of the box and a vertical side with pins
glueing the outside walls together
making the drawers with through dovetails
