Figure 12. Beading the drawer blades with a Stanley #66 Hand Beader.
SAPFM What type of tool are you using? Make/Model?
DAVIS I use an early Stanley 66 Hand beader. Lie-Nielsen
makes a good copy with a variety of profiles. I also use scratch
stocks made from scrap handsaw blades with the bead profile.
SAPFM What is the bead radius and depth of the bead?
DAVIS The beads are just under 3/16 diameter.
