In this class we will spend a good bit of a weekend learning to install traditional hardware. The top drawer drop front uses rule hinges, such as would be used on a drop leaf table.
The drop front is supported by brass quadrant stays, which are let in to the drawer sides using a carving gouge and router plane.
The secretary catches and brass pulls are beautiful examples of English hardware made the same way that they would have been made about 1800. |
