Some of the completed sides
Chopping out the half blind dovetails for the front.

Laying out the back pins
Some of the drawers partially assembled
Now that the drawers are glued up the joints are hand planed flush.
This simple bench-hook with a supporting sawhorse underneath
makes awkward clamping unnecessary.
We didn't have to use any sand-paper on this piece... it is all blade finished.
The drawers are fit by handplane using the same bench-hook set up.
Ian turned the knobs. (He always gets the easy jobs.)
Next up.... the top, details, and finishing.
