I measured and marked all the pieces for their rabbits and dados.
I also marked the fronts of the boards so that I could see where to cut it on the tablesaw.
My homemade insert has a little bit of play in it so I creeped up on the proper cutting depth.
Testing the depth of the cut.
The dados and rabbits for the top of the base frame are done.
I made quite a bit of sawdust and wood chips.
I made a sacrificial fence from some scrap 2x4s.
This is the rabbit for the bottom tool tray.
I had one dado to cut in the long center piece. My homemade insert was moving around on me a little so I duct taped it down where the clip would be on the normal insert. The design of the saw is kind of funky and there is no easy choice to make a clip for that section. I am writing an article on the insert and will explain more there.
More shots of the cut pieces.
I read the directions incorrectly and made this rabbit 3/4" too long. I cut a new piece of 2x4 and made remade this piece. Twice. I got in too much of a hurry and made the rabbit and dado on the same side. Im glad that I bought an extra 2x4 for this project.
The dados for the dogs need to be cut at a 4 degree angle so I cut a scrap 2x4 at 4 degrees on the mitre saw to use for marking all the cuts.
I marked the cutoff in the center and used it for the width marks.
I used that same block to set the proper angle on the mitre gauge for my table saw.
The slots for the dogs are not perfect but turned out better than expected.
Here is the final dry fit!
