Hand-Fitting a Drawer

In this video Carlin is using a Veritas Low Angle Plane to fit a drawer in this custom, solid Black Walnut bed-side table.  We find that this time-honored traditional technique for fitting drawers is superior to any power-tool.  This technique is time consuming and requires a higher skill level than most furniture makes possess or are willing to try. However, the end result is a far superior item in fit and finish.
