Earlier this year I finally completed the EMC. Below is short video going over the details
of the project (my first video for this Blog). It is constructed out of Honduran
Mahogany with ebony plugs and splines.
All rail to stile joinery was done using the Domino. All of the components were pre-fished before assembly. The components were first dyed with Darrel
Peart’s G&G dye recipe; 7 parts General Finishes’ Orange Dye to 4 parts
General Finishes’ Medium Brown Dye. The topcoat
is General Finishes’ Arm-A-Seal. Let me know if you have questions or comments. Now I have to something about the cherry
speaker cabinets.<o:p></o:p></div>

Well, this year with a number of projects going on in the
shop (I wonder if they ever get done) and some new floors being installed in
the house, I need some quick but classy gifts for friends and family. Enter the <a href="https://drunkenwoodworker.com/">Drunken Woodworker</a> to the
rescue. He sells on number of completed
boxes and display items on his website, as well as, plans for making some of
them. I really liked his wine bottle and
glass display rack and purchased the template for a reasonable $3 (cheap at
twice the price). It was exactly what I needed. And within a couple of days I had five Christmas
presents done and ready to wrap. OK – add three more days for oil/varnish
finish.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once again this past October I went to Woodworking in
America sponsored by Popular Woodworking.
This is my fourth time to attend WIA, and as always, it’s the woodworking
community event of the year. While there
are always great classes, and the marketplace can’t be beat, it’s the comradely
of old friends and meeting new ones that brings me back year after year. This year all the Wood Talk guys finally all
met up in person. Marc, Matt and Shannon
are not only great woodworkers and ww media types; they are also very
approachable and friendly to all…well not so much for Matt <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span> This year I did spend a fair amount of time
with the <a href="http://www.modernwoodworkersassociation.com/">Modern
Woodworkers Association</a> guys (Tom, Dyami, Chris A., and Sean). I have known most of them for a few years now
and they are a great bunch of guys and cigar aficionados (a little inside
baseball). I also got to meet back up
with Ian, Arron, Chris L., Wilbur and Nik; and meet some new friends in David, Robert,
Mark, Brian and Mike M. (apologies if a missed anyone).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, as I’m sure you have read a number of posts on
benefits and fun of attending WIA. Here
are my helpful pro-tips for attending the event next year.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Register early for the discount and book your hotel room</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Where to Stay? Either
stay at the Embassy Suites or know someone who will. Why? Manager’s Reception (i.e., free
beer). Oh…and free breakfast too with an
omelet bar. If you plan on sharing a
room with a buddy, the Embassy suites is also the best suited for such an
arrangement.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Visit the marketplace often. Make sure and save up for the event, because
even if you have a very well equipment shop, you will find something you just
gotta have.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Keep an ear to the ground for the best classes. There is
always an instructor or two that steals the show. You want to make sure you don’t miss their classes.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Don’t be shy. You
know why you’re here…to eat, sleep and drink woodworking</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Go out to the local watering holes and meet new friends in
the evenings</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Hydrate (see 5 above)</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Participate in the Hand Tool Olympics. Even if you’re not a hand tool guy there are
experts to help you out. And nothing‘s
better than one-on-one instruction.</li>
<li style="text-align: justify;">Come back again next year</li>
</ul>

So where I last left off; I had returned from WIA to find
that my Top for the EMC I had glued up before I left now how a 3/16” cup in it. My first thought was I need to rip it apart
and re-glue it. Fortunately I made a
design change and actually needed to reduce the tops thickness by 1/8” or so. So then I thought why not take it a cabinet
shop with a wider drum sander than I have to thickness it and sand the cup
out. But I was then worried that the
feed rollers would just press the cup out as it sanded and I would just be left
with a thinner top that still had the cup.
So off to my books and the internet for some “old fashion remedies”… <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first solution I found was to wet the convex side and
let it dry under weights.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
The second solution was to wet the concave side and let dry
stickered. (sorry no pics) Some Luck –
after three rounds of this I was able to reduce the cup by a 1/16”. In fact, while the top was wet, it actually cupped
in the opposite direction but then it dried with pretty much the original cup
still in it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Third solution was to use a heat gun on the convex side
to shrink the fibers and reduce the cup. </div>

The fourth solution was to cut kerfs in the underside and
epoxy a long strip in the kerf. I then let it cure while clamped to a flat
service.<o:p></o:p></div>

more time) that there are no easy solutions and you’re first thought is
sometimes the best one.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">Ok, so I've been absent for year. Give me a break and I’ll try to be better
this year. I just got back from the
“Woodworking in America” conference in beautiful downtown Covington,
Kentucky. And it inspired me to both
revitalize this blog and stretch my wwing abilities. First off, it was a great conference. It’s always great to reunite with old friends
and make new ones. The one big takeaway
for me was a class I attended by Silas Koph on marquetry. It is defiantly something I am going to
explore in the next few months/years.
For more on the conference please see my blog roll. There are a number of great posts on WIA13
that really capture the event better than I ever could.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, what have being doing the past
year? Well, I did build the Bob Lang
boxes for Christmas presents. Next up,
was some shop improvements, namely the sharpening station and helical head upgrade
for my Jet Jointer/Planner. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Below are a few pics of some of the
things I've</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> been doing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">The EMC is designed around my Outlaw Audio
200 watt by 7 channel amplifier. This
beast is big and heavy (approx. 100 lbs.).
I completely pre-finished all the base components prior to glue-up. Currently, I am working on the top and the
magnetically secured back panels. The
top is giving some issues at the moment.
When I returned from WIA I found that it had decided to cup by about
3/32”. I am trying a number of solutions
to correct it. I’ll go over my results
and final outcome in the next post.<span style="font-size: x-small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see the Dining Table
is finished.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As always it took more time
than estimated, but it turned out alright.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The top was dyed with General Finishes Antique Cherry and the maple legs
were left natural.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The finish I used
was my go-to General Finish’s Arm-a-Seal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I used about 3 coats of gloss followed by two coats of satin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
While this was simple build, it
did have some challenges due to the size of the parts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The most challenging operation was the bevels
on the underside of the top.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The top is
a little over a 1” thick, and rather than just using a chafer bit to bevel the
underside I wanted something a bit more graceful.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To that end, the bevels are about 2 ½” wide
leaving an apparent edge thickness of ¾”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The hard part was handling the top on edge at the table saw.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wouldn’t recommend the operation, but with
a tall auxiliary fence and a couple of feather-boards it wasn’t quite as
difficult as I expected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then used my
smoothing plane to clean the bevels up.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Before I began my next major
project, the corner china cabinet, I am going to go ahead complete my Christmas
gifts I have planned for this year, as well as, three picture frames my wife
wants completed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>BTW – the gifts I have
planned are some nice boxes to hold tea-bags.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I’m using the design Robert Lang built in the last Popular Woodworking
Magazine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I plan on making 5 of
them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s see if I can get them all
done before Christmas.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

Thanks for Stopping by,</div>

Well, since my last post I have change jobs, bought two new
cars, and my wife was away visiting her family for a month.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So needless to say shop time was non-existent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But now that I’m getting settled into my new
job and my wife has returned, I was able to get back into the shop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far I have completed the base of the dining
table and glued-up the top.</div>

While there is nothing earth shattering in the construction I’ll
go through a couple of details.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The maple
legs were tapered on the table saw using the Rockler Tapering Jig, which works fairly
well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I ended up making the tapper on
the legs a little thicker than the SketchUp model.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No reason except it just seemed to look
better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then aprons were joined to the
legs using Festool dominos (two 8 X 50 dominos for each joint).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The mortises on the legs were placed a little
lower than on the aprons to allow for a ¼” reveal.</div>

The Top was glued up from 4 boards of cherry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I again used 8 X 50 dominos per joint for alignment
purposes only.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The overall dimension of
the top will be 30” X 42” which should comfortable seat 4 and fit perfectly in
our breakfast nook.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Next I will be
dimensioning the top and cutting a 3” wide edge bevel on the bottom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

At this point my plans are to stain the top after I pre-treat
it with Charles Neil’s Pre-Color Conditioner to prevent blotching. Of course, I will be making up
some sample boards to dial in my finishing strategy and formula. </div>

China Cabinet has morphed into two projects; a new Dining Table for our Breakfast
Nook and the China Cabinet. I believe I will
start on the Dining Table first. We just
need something simple, so it should go fast (famous last words). All of my kitchen cabinets near the Breakfast
Nook are all maple and I would like to introduce some darker woods into the
area. So I have decided to make the
table top out of cherry and the legs and aprons out of maple in a simple shaker
style. Below are the SketchUp models I have
come up with so far. Any and all comments
are welcome.</span><span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span> </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">As for the G&G Corner China Cabinet, I still have a few
issues to work out.<span> </span>I may, or may not,
need some embellishments on the side posts that become the feet.<span> </span>And I’m still working out what type of hinges
I want to use for the door.<span> </span>For my
G&G Jewelry Cabinet (see blog archive) I used SOSS hinges.<span> </span>While I liked the incognito appearance
and functionality, I found them quite fussy to install.<span> </span>Call me a blasphemer, but I would really like
to use some soft-close blum euro hinges for this.<span> </span>I believe they would support the heavy door
and could be adjusted down the road for any sagging.<span> </span>But I don’t believe they make any models that
would work with the design I have so far.<span>
</span>Please let me know if you have a solution or better idea.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I hope to get started soon and will post with updates.<span> </span>Last weekend I purchased most of the wood I’ll
need for both projects.<span> </span>It has had
almost a week to acclimate to my shop environment, so I will probably start
milling the boards for the dining table this weekend.</span></div>

various types and designs of China Cabinets for inspiration (or to find the
perfect piece to rip-off).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course my
go-to meme is Greene & Greene, but I may look at something a little more
contemporary this time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But before I can
address the overall design, there are some preliminary issues I need to resolve
first.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">This post is geared toward those that are thinking about taking a dip into this wonderful hobby/craft we call Woodworking.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The brainchild of Tom Iovino of <a href="http://tomsworkbench.com/">Tom’s Workbench</a>, bloggers around the Woodworking community will be posting articles geared toward the beginning Woodworker.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, if you have been perusing the forums, blogs, woodworking websites, and the occasional PBS woodworking TV show, the techniques, tools and required competence must seem overwhelming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rest assured anyone considering this hobby has been in your shoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So, where do you start?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My first and strongest recommendation is to start with Popular Woodworking magazine’s “<a href="http://www.popularwoodworking.com/projects/icandothat">I Can Do That</a>” articles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are free and very informative for the beginner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each project can be completed over a weekend with a basic set of tools.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Start out by reading their free Online Manual that will go over the basic tool-kit and techniques. They have quite a variety of projects to build, from the traditional to the contemporary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not only will these projects build your confidence and skills, but will also please that certain someone on the finance committee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Speaking of the finance committee, what is the one starter tool I would say you can’t live with out? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Easy – the pocket-hole jig.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In my opinion, the one area that frustrates most beginners is joinery; the “simple” task of fastening one board to another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pocket-hole joint allows you to join two boards together, simply, quickly, and strongly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don’t be intimated by naysayers who say the pocket-hole joinery is not “fine woodworking”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can build many “fine” projects with pocket-holes joinery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once you have mastered a few projects, your confidence will grow and will start to try other more complicate joints.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But trusty pocket-hole jig will always be useful tool in any shop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While, I rarely use the pocket-hole joint any more in my furniture projects, I use them all the time in my shop furniture and shop made jigs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The miter saw stand, out-feed/assembly table, and the tool stand pictured below were all made using pocket-hole joinery. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">The biggest drawback to pocket-holes is that they are visible from one side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, they make plugs to fill the pocket-holes, but to be honest don’t waste your money on those.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They will never truly conceal the pocket hole.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What you need to do, is plan ahead and make sure the visible side of joint is hidden or concealed from view, like on the underside or back of a piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So what pocket-hole jig should I buy?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have one of the ever popular <a href="http://www.kregtool.com/Pocket-Hole-Jigs-Prodlist.html">Kreg jigs</a> and have been quite satisfied with it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of the best things about the Kreg Jigs is that they and their accessories (screws, clamps, etc.) are available at most, if not all, Lowes stores.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, if you run out of the specialty screws you only have to go as far as your local Lowes to pick up some more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Although I have not used one, the <a href="http://www.portercable.com/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17120">Porter-Cable Pocket-Hole Jig</a> also looks to be quite good.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The two things I would strongly recommend is buying a <a href="http://www.kregtool.com/Face-Clamp-3-Reach-Prodview.html">surface vise-grip like clamp</a> and a <a href="http://www.kregtool.com/Right-Angle-Clamp-Prodview.html">right-angle clamp</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With those in your arsenal, you can handle just about any situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">I hope this post has given you some food for thought from my perspective.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be sure to check out Popular Woodworking magazine’s “<a href="http://www.popularwoodworking.com/projects/icandothat">I Can Do That</a>” articles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And please feel free to give me your feedback.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay it has been awhile…work, the holidays, my Wife’s’ birthday, our anniversary, and my Mom’s birthday have taken their toll on my free time. To that end, I wanted to share some of my gift projects for this season. They are both derivations on a theme; Greene & Greene frames that is. The first are two picture frames for some prints we bought on trip to Ireland last year (Dyami was kind enough to reference it one the projects he recently completed for his Dad). The other one is my Christmas gift to friends and family. I used the same basic design (ref. Popular Woodworking #187 and “The Woodwhisperer’s” holiday calendar frame project) to build four G&G calendar frames. All of these frames are from African mahogany with ebony plug accents. All the joinery was done using Festool Dominos. This used up my last stash of African mahogany. And from now on I’m using real stuff. Despite any snide comments from Shannon or any hand-tool enthusiast, African mahogany’s best friend is a drum sander.</div>

On anther note, it has come to everyone’s attention that WIA 2012 will be held in two locations this year, Pasadena, CA and its old stomping grounds in Covington, KY. I agree with most everyone in the blogging community that this may split the community. Anyone who has been to a WIA or two knows the best part is reuniting with old friends and meeting new ones. Sure the classes are great and the Marketplace is superb, but the best times are getting together talking shop, life and beer (not necessarily in that order). So yeah, I want to go to the one where the cool kids are; but I fear that the east-coasters and west-coasters will spilt and that trolley will only be half-full next year. Please visit <a href="http://www.modernwoodworkersassociation.com/2012/01/which-wia12-will-you-attend.html">modernwoodworkersassociation.com</a> to add your two cents.</div>

</div><div class="MsoNormal">It also excels at mixing and applying wood filler.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m sure most of you have never had to use the stuff on your projects.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But for mere mortals like myself - when I do use wood filler, I prefer Timber Mate. I have three different colors and a number of Transtint dyes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When I’m done milling my stock for a project, I take one of the cut-off pieces, put some gouges in it, and mix a three to four different “colorations” of the Timber Mate using precise and repeatable measurements.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I then finish the piece using the same finish I will be using for the project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can then see which coloration matches best (usually its best to go a little darker).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So if I end up needing to use some filler, I know exactly which mix is going to give me the best results. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Palette knifes are available at any arts supply or craft store and are very inexpensive.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lee Valley sells them too.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Last, but by no means least, is my brass egg paperweight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s is made of some sort of brass alloy and is unusually heavy for its size.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It has a flat-side on the bottom, a rounded one on the top, and fits my hand like a glove.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I use it exclusively as a small chisel mallet when making fine controlled cuts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have tried those small brass mallets you can really choke-up on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While they work great, I still prefer my brass egg.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The big downside is that I do not know of a source for the paperweight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I received it about 12 years ago when the company I work for was sending everyone to Covey Leadership Training.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was part of the gift bag when you completed the course.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If anyone knows of a source, please let me know.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Well to say that “Woodworking in America” (WIA) 2011 was nice woodworking respite maybe a misnomer considering the crowd I ran with during the event. It certainly was fun. The best part was meeting up with on-line friends I met last year and meeting new friends attending this year’s WIA. I just hope the APB runs out before WIA 2012. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The second best part of WIA for me was the Marketplace. Where else can you actually see and try the tools you see on-line and in the magazines. Anticipating the deals, I saved my pennies and cashed-in at the event. And now that UPS has made their deliveries - pictured below is my WIA 2011 Haul.</div>

Going clockwise from bottom right I bought the following items:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Veritas Inset Vise – I’ll use this in the other side of my split-top bench</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
11. Veritas Plane Screwdriver</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While all the toys are great, for those that haven’t made it to WIA yet I strongly recommend it. It is the preeminent woodworking event on my calendar each year. Each year it seems established concepts are challenged. Last year it was Michael Fortune’s class on Bandsaw set-up and the myth of blade drift. This year, it seems to be Adam Cherubini’s class on nailed furniture and its quite acceptable use in a variety of projects. But while the classes are great and the Marketplace is dangerous, the best part is meeting new and old friends alike. Here’s to seeing you there next year! </div>

After many moons the Jewelry Cabinet is finally finished and installed. The materials used are: African Mahogany for the cabinet and interior; Ambrosia Maple for the door panels, drawer fronts and back; Ebony Accents and Pulls; and Brusso and SOSS hardware. This is one of my own designs, but it was heavily influenced by the G&G Curio Cabinet and The Woodwhisperer's Gadget Station - both pictured below. I also need to thank Aaron Marshall for his input and confirmation of my original sketch-up design. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first challenge of this project were the proud finger joints for the top and sides. I used the table saw with 1/4 inch dado blade and some stop blocks on my miter gauge. I cut the fingers for the top first and then fitted the side fingers to them. Of course, I made a series of test cuts first. I also left the sides long in case I screwed up. That way I could just cut the fingers off and try again. This is the third project in row I haven't had to "re-make" any parts. Either I'm getting the hang of this wwing thing (scary) or just lucky.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second challenge was the interior of the Cabinet. It has three drawers and an upper center divider; with two Brusso necklace carousels on the right side and two adjustable shelves on the left side.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZWI2C8m1y9w85wzGoRNWnvrOdcLcyc91FUphhKRvenIZN4LGGYprfnOmqO08n_VNxs_12so8BHSipJm9XanxVtVRKKyhdLGFjRQqjzWgDfjdw_xCaafyRpCT0ubAbCrQRqr2iKVD5Ne6j/s1600/Cabinet+Dr+Open.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZWI2C8m1y9w85wzGoRNWnvrOdcLcyc91FUphhKRvenIZN4LGGYprfnOmqO08n_VNxs_12so8BHSipJm9XanxVtVRKKyhdLGFjRQqjzWgDfjdw_xCaafyRpCT0ubAbCrQRqr2iKVD5Ne6j/s640/Cabinet+Dr+Open.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because of the clearance required by the SOSS hinges, I bascilly had to build a box inside the cabinet to hold the drawers. In buiding this interior box, I decided to use the proud finger joints again to provide some visual interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the G&G style can be described as somewhat masculine, I used the Ambrosia Maple to impart little feminine touch to the Jewelry Cabinet. In that regard, the maple was used for the drawer fronts which are finger jointed into the sides. I also decided to add the tsuba detail to the front of drawers with an integrated pull similar to the G&G Curio Cabinet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy8Qme25vHzt0gwZDDk2SYQJBIPEC3hc4VKOa20EXl9twInYM6yd1tDI1OIUE5VxlijKR-cOsYGmzMyR-FyNSPTtErdWHkpKn_O1DM-FIFzCsITKPpyskCHdPje0703XY91eM_adxHrG9G/s1600/Drawer+Detail.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhy8Qme25vHzt0gwZDDk2SYQJBIPEC3hc4VKOa20EXl9twInYM6yd1tDI1OIUE5VxlijKR-cOsYGmzMyR-FyNSPTtErdWHkpKn_O1DM-FIFzCsITKPpyskCHdPje0703XY91eM_adxHrG9G/s400/Drawer+Detail.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some other details I would like to highlight are (1) the Base - which will allow this Cabinet to be placed on a table, dresser, or stand, if one wishes; (2) the magnetic catches and ebony door stops on the center divider; and (3) the door pulls (once again inspired from Marc's Gadget Station).</div>

While I have a number of projects under my belt, few I would call "fine woodworking". Over the last few years I have become enamored of the designs of Greene & Greene. Within the last year I have built my version of The WoodWhisperer's G&G frame, and recently just completed a Jewelry Cabinet of my own design...more on that in my next post. During the journey of this blog please leave comments on my posts or reach me on Twitter @TexWood. While I am sometimes opinionated, I have on occasion revised my views based on additional information ;-)<br />
