Cutting Drawer Grooves with a Circular Saw: Chest of Drawers part VIII

I am using my new jig to cut the grooves in my drawer sides.

Circular Saw Jig

I made a jig for my circular saw based on information I found on Pinterest and YouTube. I found the Ryobi circular saw to be very economical. The jig I made will allow me to make straight precise cuts. This is good because I don't have a table saw.

I started with two pieces of scrap wood and a flat board that used to be part of a table.

My friend Robbie came by the workshop to finish his shoe rack. You can see what he did and how he started his project by clicking here. As you can see, all he had to do was some sanding and staining.

Now that I have the inset to my side panels glued, I laid out all the pieces to one of my chest of drawers to see what it looked like. Notice the top, two front pieces, back panel and side panels.
