Create Fluted Drawer Fronts

the past let's go let's talk drawer fronts so this is Red Oak that we're going to go with it's 3/4 in thick I'm going to keep it simple but also fancy at the same time I'm going to cut it to size the perect Dimension leaving an eighth on each side and then I'm going to take a/2 in router bit that has a uh a triangle vgroup shape essentially and through you know using a square I'm going to try creating lines down the middle making it look like it's flued but give it that cool texture I guess so we'll start cutting this up and then Mark out the settings and then do a whole lot of routing got my marking set up every 3/4 of an inch got my bit set to 1/2 in deep going to start using a speed square clamp it down and just move right along [Music] [Applause] all right so I'm getting to the last three quarters of these These are the big drawers how's it going so far well it's it's going okay it's not exactly what I thought it would be um I love it it's textured the difficult part is somehow even though I'm marking them 3/4 apart some of them have wider uh or sorry wider uh tops and some of them have narrower tops but the spacing is on point so I don't know exactly why even though it's the same setting on the depth now what I'm going to do is after this all done I'm going to sand the stuff over so it's grooved out so it'll look like texture but it won't be exactly perfectly symmetrical if you're going to take calipers um again it's going to be textured there's going to be a lot of it so it's going to a lot of it's going to get lost in the detail which I think in us our case is good oh and also I called Woodcraft which they have a CNC that you can rent out and they'll create perfect flutes turns out it's like 150 bucks an hour and those cnc's go pretty slow with as many boards that we have here so we probably my best guess conservatively would be looking at an extra $300 to have them routed with a cnz and um this is more I guess DIY application please remain [Music] seated all 12 drawer fronts are cut and grooved let's start using our sander 80 grit and I'm going to try to curve these the stuff around I just actually noticed in the middle of carving all of these 12 drawer faces this this is like wood carving you know what I mean like it's not necessarily we routing it's it's shaping wood and uh you know I don't feel bad if it's not perfect perfect [Music] perfect you know what to do where do we go from here don't let it rule you all right so after hours of hand…
