These are fantastic. My only input is that tails of the dovetail typically go on the sides and pins on the face and back to lock the parts against the pulling action of the drawer face.
I too have some Walnut that has been in storage a long long long time. Hope it has the same glorious color when I use it.

I watched a youtube video on making dovetails on the tablesaw and had cut the back ends and sides before I realized they were opposite, so I went with it. Told my daughter there were some built-in flaws to give ithem character.

Love those tables! Great job!
I’m going to go looking for that video. Everything I’ve seen is either cut them by hand or use a router jig. Never heard of using the table saw for dovetails.

I use a bandsaw and a router to speed up the process.

I like the proportions of these as bedside tables. So many nightstands are deeper than they need to be, in my opinion.
