Popular Post treeslayer 3138 Posted September 4 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 4 Finally finished this project, nothing special about the cabinet but I think the doors are cool, 1/8” X 3/4” strips of oak and walnut in a weave pattern, corners are M&T joints, 3/16” grove to hold the strips, thanks for looking, comments, criticism, questions always welcome. 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

curlyoak 616 Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 Excellent design work and execution. I imagine it was tricky to glue up the doors. Did you sign and date it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wood Basher 30 Posted September 5 Report Share Posted September 5 At the risk of appearing pedantic and petty, can I ask how you open the doors? I don't see any handles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you sign and date it? Not tricky at all, glued the top and bottom rails to one side, let dry, stacked in the strips in the right orientation and glued up the other side, I did burn in my name and date on the back side of the toe kick 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see any handles. Not petty or pedantic (had to look that one up) at all, good catch. I’m using magnetic push to open catches, I didn’t want knobs or handles. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Coop 6929 Posted September 12 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 12 Great place Dave! As someone from sea level, I always thought of a basement as wet and dungeon until you Yankees started posting pics of living areas, game rooms and shops. I’m envious! 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
