Cabinet Build (WIP)

Mon Mar 16, 2015 3:07 pm

Building a cabinet for Mom, should be a slight improvement on the jewelry box I made for her in the 7th grade;

Walnut

+ Big boy saw;

+ Handplanes

Prepped door rails/stiles all by hand

Case joinery along the way

Right now I'm dovetailing in the web frames.

Thank you! Indeed, it is black walnut.

Good stuff Brian - keep those photos coming!

And can I see a better photo of your shooting board?

Thanks Yxoc,

Sure, I'll take some photos later on, it's fairly 'utilitarian'.

Nice work, Brian. And nicely photographed.
Wow, that must have been some jewelry box.

Thanks Charlie!

I've got a shot of the length;

Its more like a dresser but with thin drawers so it's like a plan file for jewelry on the top three and the lower three are for delicates.

Love it! I like your ripsaw and the dovetail planes.

Thanks Paul! That saw opened my eyes, I was attempting to rip with a 7 tpi LN prior to it, wow what a difference.
