Mine if I could, but the painting upkeep is a downer....

Yes, the upkeep would be prohibitive.

Building a cabinet and shelving unit for a friend. How quickly you forget things when you don’t build all the time
Tenon and mortise frames for the doors and the cabinet complete.

If we built that in are shop. They guys that would f it up sanding it. When the came to where your door frames join. It would be nothing but sanding against the grain or figure 8s from a DA. After 25 years of trying to teach them how to sand i gave up.

Thank you for the comments. I insist on torturing myself with these inset doors where the lines have to be very clean. If you start out reasonably square the European style hinges help even things up.

Dado head on table saw. Drop on, pull off kind of a thing on the styles. The rails can run straight through.

……. from a DA.


I can tell your old school, no one calls it a DA anymore.

Thanks. I've done the raised panels that slide into the frames thing with the through tenons - both fun and work. Some days I wish I had had the time to do more of that sort of work. If I had the 1/4 sawn oak available I probably would have, but....... Have to talk to my Amish carpenter about getting some of my oak beams stashed out in the tractor shed to the mill.

Very nice. When I built the bookcases in the office, I lazily mounted the cabinet doors on the outside using modern cabinet hinges. Functional, but not the nicest job. Yours look brilliant.

When you're done with that, build one of these:

The kids in the neighborhood will luv ya.

I don’t think I have that much free time. :lol:
I’m not sure you could drive anything that looked like a tank safely around this country. Someone may get triggered. :lol: There is probably a reason he didn’t paint it like a tank :shock:
