Popular Post Bmac Posted September 6, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I did a search and found a few people on here did this cabinet. I love reading Krenov and really wanted to make something in his style even if he's not totally my style. Casework isn't my favorite thing either but I liked the dovetail work in this piece. Hand cutting dovetails is something I need to do more of and this project was perfect to get my dovetail fix in for the year. I changed the leg style from what Marc developed for his plan and I chose the style he based his project off of. This style is more my taste. The piece has grown on me as I built it and as I admire it in it's new home in the corner of our dining room. The wood was milled by me 2 years ago, Norway Maple and Black Walnut. The hand pull for the drawer is Pear, I scrounged up 2 small logs a few years ago, really nice wood to carve and shape. Marc's instruction for this project was fabulous and I choose to hand cut all the dovetails. Well worth the journey and now I can enjoy reading Krenov a little more. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Real well done. It isn't really a style that I would do myself but I do have to give you some high praise for some fine craftsmanship. You should be proud of the piece. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Bmac, I don’t need to come up and help you saw. I need to come up and go to woodworking school. What will a class cost? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will a class cost? Free for you if you bring some purdy wood. Really, the lessons from Marc Spagnuolo let me get this done. Coop will agree he does a great job walking you through this build.
