Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

Over the years, and there have been many, I have made dozens of 'jigs' for projects and have them hanging all over the shop. Problem is, I have forgotten what some of them are/were for and how they were used. Your measuring jig, however, is obvious and can be used on many projects.

By the way. I did manage to pick up a couple of wingnuts and bolts today in stainless steel to replace the screw in my gauge I made last week.

Hope everyone had a great Easter Day.

Today was one of those days, where you just want to get through the day and start over tomorrow, hoping things will go better. Lol.

I think I'll be able to get more work done on the drawers tomorrow.

We now have one in place, while the other one is waiting for the glue to cure.







By the way, before someone asks- this is not going to be an - assemble one drawer a day until finished. Lol.

I just wanted to get the top two in place to see how it would go, and then I can finish machining the other drawer pieces and assemble several at a time.

As a result, I am not expecting this to take 2 weeks to assemble 14 more drawers. (Ok, Ok, the applause can come to an end now)! Lol.

Here's a close up of the rear/side joint.







If I had used a pair of screws - screwed in from the side - no clamps would have been necessary.

And the beat goes on......

Second drawer assembled. This one is also a total of 4 inches high, and matches the first one I built.

Turns out, that if you remove the little pads on each end, then a 24 inch piece will actually fit. There is no extra, but it will fit.







Well, there ya go......

Here's another slightly useless bit of semi-interesting information.

You would think that purchasing a 24 inch clamp, would allow you to clamp items that are 24 inches in length.

Here's a 24 inch clamp that is from Harbor Freight.
