I build a 5-drawer vanity table with only hand tools!

In the first video of a series, I build the main carcass of a vanity table. This will be a 100% hand tools project. It has turned legs, sliding dovetails, dovetailed drawers, and a cove moulding detail underneath the top.

For this video, I show how I go about ensuring accurate case construction.
