<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 356590, member: 5066"]Interesting, I had not seen one before. After the industrial revolution (steam power) hit the US around 1850, furniture here was built largely by machines EXCEPT for the drawer boxes! The dovetails for drawer boxes were still cut by hand during this time. All kinds of different machines were invented to get around those pesky dovetail issues for drawer boxes. Probably the most famous was the Knapp joint, a cove & pin type of joint popular in late victorian drawer boxes.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]121492[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
