Jus...No intention to call you onto the carpet :-). Just curious.<br /><br />When I try to rabbet in the manner you suggested, I find that my filister plane is too long and rides on the stopped ends. I just recently picked up a Stanley 78 (the Record equivalent, actually) and it may be that with the blade in the bullnose position (is that where you have it?) this may work better. I'll have to try it out.<br /><br />Lately I've been floating the backs of cases in a dado, so I haven't had much opportunity to do this kind of a back.Scott Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393071448515738228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672429826561258985.post-89085342458489851452012-07-10T14:59:54.024-05:002012-07-10T14:59:54.024-05:00Hi Scott,
Thanks for the question. Unfortunately...Hi Scott, <br /><br />Thanks for the question. Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures of that process this time. I start by marking out the rabbet with a marking gauge. I try to get the lines good and deep. I use a carcass saw to cut a stop at the tail. <br /><br />Then I use a old 78 Stanley Rabbet plane to hog out as much as I can. If I'm planing towards the stop I lift the nose of the plane up as I get close. One the other side you plane away from the stop and there I just toe down after the stop. Basically I let the plane blade float over and not cut where I don't want it to. <br /><br />Then I clean up the rest with a bench chisel. kind of like chiseling out the waste in the half blind DTs. I deepen my scribe marks with a 1" chisel and chunk out the waste with a 1/2". I clean up the surfaces with the 1/2" chisel and get them close to correct by eye. They don't need to be perfect, they'll be covered up by the back boards later. <br /><br />This is how I find myself doing this quite often so I don't get a void in my dovetail joints that I have to fill later. I do notch the boards I use for the back, often ship-lapped boards to fit around the corners. <br /><br />Is all this necessary, I'm not sure. Probably not. You can adjust your dovetail layout to compensate for the rabbet or glue up the box and use your Porter Cable router to achieve your results. There's something about this detail that feel right to me when I do it, and maybe it takes a little more time, but I'm ok with that too. Could be that I'm just crazy, I might just have to ask around. <br /><br />It's good for you to call me on the carpet though. I may have to do some more thinking about this in the future. I am not interested in making meals out of snacks if I don't have to. <br /><br />DDerek Olson (Oldwolf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17266838091596906383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8672429826561258985.post-28554942409497362342012-07-10T13:00:36.359-05:002012-07-10T13:00:36.359-05:00How did you cut the stopped rabbet on the back?

I usually cut that with a fillister/rabbet plane, but doing a stopped rabbet that way is hard.<br /><br />Is it your usually approach to stop the (in this case) top rabbet short of the matching rabbet on the side? Is there a reason? Do you then cut away the corners of the back to fit around the protruding piece?Scott Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03393071448515738228noreply@blogger.com
