   Just came across an article from #216 that described a similar build of a NBSS tool chest - using it as a backup reference.
   Great series, thanks.

   Great series thanks for posting in its entirety. There are many little tricks shown that would be missed if it was condensed

   Everything is fine here in general. But why spend all that time fussing with the trimming of tenon cheeks using a dado set? Cut once with a tenoning jig, slightly large, then quickly achieve perfect fit with a few strokes of the shoulder plane or rabbet block plane. Also, placing fingers that close to the dado head is scary business indeed. I would never pass my fingers directly over the head, even with a push block as shown. A miter gauge with extended fence would seem a much better choice for that operation

   This is a great video series. A lot to observe and learn from watching the detail and method. More of the same please.

    Don't agree with user49358 comment above. "A few strokes of the shoulder plane or rabbet block plane" also takes time. The greater the number of tenons one has to make, the more inefficient the use of hand tools becomes. And, as for using a push block instead of a miter gauge, it's his prerogative not to pass a push block over the dado blade. Personally, I've done that many, many times very comfortably and successfully. But, I understand how someone else would not feel comfortable using a push block. Either way gets the job done, but I feel that I can apply pressure to the work uniformly with my left hand, while my right hand supplies the force necessary to move the work through the cut. Even pressure applied throughout the cut assures that the tenon will be of equal thickness.

    This is a job interview, yes? To see if one can be a contributor to FWW? No. Love and share the enthusiasm, but this isn't captivating material. Not engaging...to be kind.
