After kerfing, the remaining material is removed to reveal the true nature of this apron (imagine these words spoken by David Attenborough).
Profiling The Aprons
I decided to rough out the shape of the aprons on the table saw instead of doing it by hand. I like this method, and safer than trying to do it via a couple angled rips.
Insides of Aprons
Laying out and transferring mortise locations on the insides of both front and back aprons. These mortises will accept tenons on the drawer runners.
The Mighty Miter
Here's my setup for cutting leg miters and apron miters for the mitered gunstock joint (a term I heard from Ben Strano and have adopted). Here's a leg ready to go on the second cut - the first cut has been made and is visible under the bar of the clamp. It's a pretty basic setup, but yields very consistent results.
Belts and Suspenders
Skipping ahead a bit, here's the front apron after gluing it back together (sorry, no pictures of that). I decided to reinforce the apron where the narrow vertical dividers join the top and bottom rails. While I'm confident in the glue joints, there's always the possibility of those narrow dividers checking or splitting under load.
