Popular Post Jim DaddyO Posted December 17, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Pretty much the same as a spice cabinet. I made this one from cherry. The back ship lapped panels are maple as well as the secondary material for the drawer. The finish is BLO and bees wax, and then a coat of furniture wax. It took a long time to build as there is a lot of hand cut joinery in it that I have never tried before. All the shelves are in Housing Dados (blind dados) and I still need more practice at the dove tails I used for the drawer box. Very little sanding on this one, I opted for using the smoothing plane and card scraper. The hardware is from Richelieu. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 That looks good! I like the wood on the backboard, makes it pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the drawer is small so I made it come out so it is easier to rummage around in it. 12 hours ago, TIODS said: Really sorry I missed this one! Super nice job Jim! Thanks, I have the first video up on my You Tube channel, titled "A board of Cherry" on the build. Still lots to go but I have been too occupied to edit any more. Probably over the holidays.

Jim DaddyO Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 With the holidays over and the house starting to return to normal I took the time to edit some more video on the essential oil cabinet I made for my son for Christmas. A lot of hand work over a lot of days, and a long time to edit it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim DaddyO Posted January 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Happy New Year! I spent the day editing and getting together part 3 of this build. Designing as I go along and making changes so I can get what is in my head made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim DaddyO Posted January 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Well, fighting Windows Movie Maker and getting another one done. After three tries with Microsoft Support, including giving them remote access, I get told that WMM is not compatible with Win 10, and that just sucks. It keeps freezing up on me and I lose a lot of work and Microsoft just does not care. Of course the suggested I could buy something at the app store….yeah, right, I’ve seen the old bait and switch before. I have downloaded a free version of Lightworks but have not installed it yet. Apparently there is quite the learning curve and I am kinda dumb with computers. The way they do things is the biggest reason people use Mac’s I suppose. So, here is #4 in “A Board of Cherry” series. There will be one more to come. This has turned out to be a big series on the building of an essential oil cabinet for my son’s Christmas present. Believe me, I am going through ALL the raw footage and know how much there is that you don’t see…lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N00b-in-training Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I've been think about building my wife an essential oils cabinet, then I was talking to her today about them. She said one of the itsy bitsy bottles costs $75 because it works miracles. I asked if it it created an insta-happy ending. Nope. I then told her to not question my woodworking spending again. I'm afraid if I made her a cabinet it might encourage her to buy more! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I remember insta-happy endings. I'm almost positive I do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
