Project - "Kelly's Breakfast Room Corner Cabinet."

I decided that the two side boards would join in the back with the 45o locking miter joint. That has become a very dependable joint in my shop.
	I pull out the fence insert that I have cut for this bit.
I set the height of the bit by eye — I couldn't find my test piece from past uses. This is easy though. I just match the center point of the bit to the approximate center of the stock.
	I mark two sample boards. I will route the "A" board up, and the "B" board down. Once both are routed, I join them and see how out of align they are. I got lucky and the first test was perfect. I usually have to make one or two more adjustments, but it is quite simple to set up.
With one featherboard in place, I can comfortably route the back edge of one of the boards.
	I used to think that you needed a tall fence to have a good shaping of the other side. All that is really required is featherboards in place holding the bottom edge against the fence. My left hand also must be low enough to be putting pressure only on the area that is backed by the fence.
Before assembling the two sides, I install my dado blade set and make cuts for the top and bottom. [Note: the top of the upper unit is 6" down. The bottom unit's top is at the top, and I will install the sacrificial fence before making that rabbet cut.]
	I could make the 45o cuts on the table saw, but even with the sliding table, handling this large a board would be difficult.
I use the guide just as I did before. The only difference is that I have to use clamps to hold the straight edge.
	It couldn't have been easier or more exact.
It is time to dry fit the unit. A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I rush ordered a new product from Rockler - the "ClampIts". They are the black plastic, right angle things that you see in use here. I had always used a speed square and a "prayer" to hold the pieces to be assembled. The ClampIts worked just fine. It is like having a second pair of hands.
	I only used them to hold the side pieces together when I glued them. Now I add the top which, with the bottom triangle, holds the unit together and square.
