A New Project - "The Ultimate Blanket Chest"

With all the boards trimmed, I am ready to go to the next step.    I am using the Incra Project Book to guide me step-by-step through this complicated joint. I think that the illustrations and instructions in this book are excellent. I do not want to cut all the boards and find that I missed a step.
	The instructions call for cutting a rabbet on the ends of either the sides or the end pieces. Since the ends are shorter, I opted to cut these — they will be easier to handle.    The boards have to be passed vertically over the dovetail bit that is set to make a 7/16" depth cut. I pull out my trusty vertical holder that I made some time ago.
Making the cut is easy — even with this long board.
	Here is the completed cut. Now, I have to do the other seven end boards.
I next make the "C" cuts in all the ends. I was afraid that I would have a lot of breakout of the fragile trim pieces, so I decided to use the 3/8" straight bit as I did before. It is double the amount of work, but I didn't want to chance breaking these ends at this point.
	Here is a close up of the joint with the straight bit cuts.
A few minutes later, and all the "C" dovetails are done.
	I just had to try a walnut corner post on the new ends. I think it will look good, but there are a few more steps to complete before I can glue them in place.
