    Default Crockery cabinet WIP.

    I've got a lot on at the moment, so its going to take a few months. I'll take photos as I go.

    Its just a cabinet for the new kitchen.

    pic 1 - basic planning. My really ruff sketching until something clicks and I know what to do. Essentially its going to be a 4 door cabinet that sits on the wall with a shelf in the middle. About 1600 x600 x 300.

    Attach it with a french cleat or something similar I guess.

    Will be using the larger of those ceramic knobs. The wifes says the colours work well apparently with the blue and silky oak. I don't know.

    pic 2 - I'm using silky oak for the carcass, and everything else will be painted a blue grey colour. ie. the doors, crown, bottom edge. And because they'll be painted I'll make them out of pine.

    Basically looks like this 2 door cabinet, the wife likes the look of (from a magizine), but on its side. The colour of the carcass in the picture should be similar to silky oak with finish on it.

    pic 3 - there's the silky oak.

    I cut out a few rails this afternoon, before I had to call it quits. Thats all I've done so far.

    ta mate. There not as nice as I probably should be doing them. uno, with haunches etc. Their just floating tenons. The quickest way of doing them I feel. But they are nice tight oozing fits

    Still playing it by ear. I don't want it to look too boxy. So trying to work out what moulding and where. Proportions. Don't want to overdo it at the same time. Doing my head in.

    Have to put centre posts in next for support and for the middle doors to swing off..

    Thinking of rebating the top and bottom rails as door stops. Try and work out where I should put the magnets in to keep the doors closed.

    anyway. ok !....I'll slow down ! . Try and work on it next friday.

    Looking great so far Jake. Can't wait to see the finished result.
    It's better to be thought of as a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt!

    Hi Jake. Looking good so far. The wife saw it in a magazine and wanted one, so you're jumping straight in to make her one? Who's a good boy then?

    What did you use to cut the mortices? Plunge router? Do you think a chisel morticer would handle the Silky Oak OK?

    Shame you're doing the linings out of pinus. I would have been interested to see you use the hand planes on the Silky Oak to create the mouldings. Be a bit harder than your Radiata picture frames, I'm thinking. Nice WIP - looking forward to more.

    Wayne
    Don't Just Do It.... Do It HardenFast!!

    Regards - Wayne

    I was really enjoying looking at your post.. it's really fantastic....great work...your wife is very fortunate & you seem to be dedicated to making what she wants...I applaud you...and wish you both every happyiness....

    Now for the reason I had to laugh...my eyes are failing me...I thought I could see a keg...in one of the photo's ....NO...its a bin....LOL....I guess the "solo lemon...is GLUE...." hey mate my glue bottle is a "big red tomato sauce bottle....the top seals better, it twists to open...and never clogs...lol

    Photo's are great...I've been down the shed all weekend...just putting together a queens sized bed....first one on my own since I lost hubby....but must say she's coming together really fantastic...using shallac for the first time, it s brillant. Does you wife help in shed....lol...do you help in house.....no only kidding.

    I loved working in shed with Ed...but he hated working on the cars...so he did the shed & house, while I did cars & shed...helps growing up in large family with big workshop & doing all your own machanics...lol

    Cheers Kerry

    Don't think you're playing it safe by walking in the middle of the road.....that's the surest way to get hit by traffic coming from both ways!
    I'm passionate about woodwork.......making Sawdust again & loving it!
