Well this is annoying [emoji849]. Measure twice cut once. I resawed some mahagony to get the stock for the plane til dividers. I marked out my screw hole lines on the first one and found out I needed a few more long ones. I transferred the screw lines but not the length line. Ugh.

Thanks guys. @chrisk it's already hanging up [emoji6]. I borrowed some planes today from a friend to map out some future future purchases. Have a full day of stuff today so not sure if I will get to it today or not. Want to get the other doors made up soon. That will only leave me the bottom "gallery" area under the plane til. The plan calls for two drawers on the left and plane storage for the rest of the stuff. I'm going to change that and do another set of drawers on the right side. The middle might have a shelf in it or be left completely open. Still undecided. For reference here is a pic from the plans. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Finally got the upper doors done. A few coats of shellac and buffed with paste was. I replaced the hardware on the sides with brass domed screws. Flat head unfortunately. But it ties it all together. I used two magnext super glued in with screws to keep the doors from opening. They aren't rare earth magnets so hopefully they will be strong enough. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I got the doors made and fitted. The left door was a pain and still wants to pop open where the right side doesn't. In the pic I had them slightly open. These will be held down with magnets so I think they will be ok. Up next I am going to do the plane til dividers. This will at least get my planes off of the work bench and into the cabinet.

Needed some brad point bits and fisch had a decent set for $20. Made in Austria. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I had planned to plane the side down a little. I confirmed with Alabama woodworker on Instagram and he had the same issue when he made his. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Before work I was able to get the shelf and the hinge part of the doors made above the plane til. I mortised out for the hinges but they are not closing fully. The hinges sit flush with the wood so not really sure what I should do. I think chamfering the edge might help reduce the bulk and fix the issue. The shelf is dadoed into cleats screwed to the sides. The hinge part of the door is then screwed into that. I will replace the screws with brass screws to match the hinges. Up next is to make the playwood doors and attach them to the hinge section.

Thanks. It's not perfect by any means but it should suffice just fine. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Well this is a thing that happened today. I got the back finally put on making the case as square as can be. I just used screws, no glue or Brad nails but I think it will be fine. Two of my hinges were lost by the mail so I have the last pair arriving tomorrow. I still have to finish the door fronts and sides with shellac. I attached the plane til and am about to start the interior doors. Pretty happy with it so far. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Second door panel is glued and drying. I was hoping the sunlight would give me some better pics but I was wrong. I really like how these came out. Somehow I did make an error and not sure how but the panels on the right in the first pic were glued upside down. It wasn't my ideal layout but it works just fine. Second error was prefinishing them. I wanted to make glue clean up easier and finishing some what easier. I forgot that the stiles and rails are not completely flush so I will need to plane/sand them down a little bit. I'm using shellac so I don't think it will be much of an issue getting everything to look good again. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Been a while since my last post. I managed to get the doors made and dry fit today. During the dry fit, I snapped off a section of the middle rail of one of the doors. I managed to get it glued back together. Blends in very well with the grain and no one would ever notice. I routed in two holes for hold fasts in the left of my work bench and have used them a decent amount since then. I was able to clamp in the doors pieces for sanding and planing. I just need to bite the bullet and do it to the top of the bench. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I had someone mention that on another forum. I just out a little glue in it and I think it will be fine. Got the first piece out of clamps today. I think it turned out pretty well. Second one is in clamps. Really don't want to wait a full 24 hrs for these last three but I think I will wait. I want the glue to dry thoroughly. I sanded the plane til and got a seal coat on that as well. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Just call me clamp champ! First piece of veneer is in glue up. I should have probably done a pair at a time but oh well. Not like I have been rushing this build by any means. I would like to finish here soon though. Took out the back piece and sanded it. Will put on a few coats of shellac possibly after work tonight. While the veneers are in glue up I'll sand the door cases and fill in the voids like I did the carcass. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Cut the veneers today for the front door panels. Resawed tigerwood for some bookmatched veneer. More curl in it and the camera can pick up. Should look really good with finish. The drawer fronts will also be tigerwood and the curl is much more prevalent on the off cuts from these peices. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Last night I filled the dovetails with glue and sanded them flush. This filled any gaps left by my terrible hand cut dovetails [emoji16]. Today I got the plane til cut out. Support triangles on each side support the plywood the planes will reat on. I also cut the first piece of tigerwood for the door panels. Trying to figure out the best book match and thickness for veneer work. I somehow don't have pictures of that. I'll get some soon. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Atlas46 hooked me up with this workshop apron. I wanted one with less bulk and they had previously made a super limited quantity of aprons with no front pouches but full of "molle" or what ever they call it. I ordered a 3" magnetic panel, a drill holster, and another pick for pliers. I had since found their multi tool pouch that looks like it would hold an apron plane perfectly. Haven't ordered that though. So far initial impressions are very good. I really want to try and keep the dust off of my clothes and this should help a lot. I feel weird wearing it but I will get used to it. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Doors are all dovetailed! Ready for glue next. I finished chiseling out the mortises for the hinges today as well. Feeling accomplished!

Chop chop. No time for the pins before work today. At least the tails are done. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Got the carcass glued up today. It went pretty smoothly. It's square but I need to plane the joints flush. I prefinished the inside pieces with one coat of shellac to help with glue squeeze out. Yesterday I routed out the spot for the hinges. I finished the fit with some chisel work. All fit nice and flush. Before work today I routed out the hinges on the door sections and I started the dovetails with my new Katz Moses dovetail jig. Very happy with it so far. Only complaint is it is very slick and moves slightly. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Today I I cleaned up the shelf a little bit and got rid of the frays on the ends. If I would have done my cuts in a different order it would have been much cleaner. Oh well, it won't be seen. I used my router table to rabbet the back sides of the carcass to accept the back panel. I then got the back pieces cut. The bottom will be the French cleat that holds the whole cabinet up. The seem is hidden by the shelf. I used my new Makita cordless track saw today and holy crap! I love this saw. The cuts on 1/2" plywood were so clean and crisp. I also used the track saw to cut the 40 angle for the cleat. Making progress! My hinges will be here tomorrow. I will cut and mortise those in. After I do that I will glue the cabinet carcass together. My dove tail guide will also be here today. I will use that on the doors this weekend too. Lots of pics. I wanted to show how clean the stock Makita blade is on plywood. I'm very impressed. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Shelf through morstises are done. Overall I'm happy with them. The other side has a gap that I need to fill. I first used a Forster bit to hog out most of the mortise and then chiseled the rest out. Next up before glue up is to mortise for the hinges. If I were smart I would have ordered them weeks ago. But I'm not and ordered them last night. Hopefully they will arrive soon.

I've got a box! Sort of. All dovetails are cut. Some have more gaps than others. Practice would have actually been a good idea. I ordered a Katz Moses dovetail guide today to aid in future builds. I did manage to get a crack somehow and not sure why or how. That one was one of the easier corners and it wasn't there until after it was all together. Thinking of either putting wood glue in it and clamping it or putting it together and just putting epoxy in it. Next is the cut through mortise and tennons for the shelf. I got as far as laying out the mortises on the sides. Tomorrow I will drill them out, chisel them clean, and then cut the shelf to fit. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Got the tails cut out and started on the pins. I got one corner chiseled out. Not the best but certainly not the worst. I probably should have practiced. Not horrible for my second time cutting dovetails though. I think I will go back and re establish the line up just a little. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I finally was able to get some more work done today. I got the reat of the pieces mapped out on my boards. I had just enough. Then I got the dovetails layed out and cut. I used a coping saw for the waste. I thinner blade would be nice. They turned out pretty well so far. My chisels are in dier need of sharpening so I'm done for the night. Don't like to hammer late anyways. Hopefully I will get them chiseled out tomorrow. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk
