Mike - just awesome work as always. The trays look great, makes me cringe to think how long it would have taken me just to build the trays. Thanks for sharing.
Pete, maybe the rules have changed, but I went last year when it was in Des Moines and I had to pay full registration just to go to the swap meet. I'm not saying it isn't worth it, just sharing...
Did you glue the case together before cutting and if so, how did you cut your slots for the shelves after? Also was wondering if you had a picture of your door fronts?
Thanks,
Bob
I was going to mortise and tenon them together. That way they would be solid complete frames.
Bob
Thanks Jim.
David - the doors will be framed similar to the case with poplar and dovetailed. I am planning on rabetting in 1/2" birch plywood for the back of the door/ face of the cabinet and...
I acquired some new tools at Christmas and have determined my random storage I have been maintaining the last few years is no longer sufficient. Jerry Olexa's thread on storage ideas provided some...
I will forevermore read all of Derek's posts in my head in the voice of Crocodile Dundee thanks to this post.

Coming from a background where my job is to produce IP which is mostly software/algorithm based, I don't have a problem with the marketing and withholding of information. They describe the usage and...
Thanks Stewie, that makes good sense.

:D I have been saving Christmas and birthday tool money for the last 2 years figuring out what I really need most to be more efficient/proficient with hand tools and filled some gaps where I didn't...
I was spoiled this Christmas, I got the Lee Valley joinery saw set, Narex mortise chisels, and The Essential Woodworker book by Robert Wearing. I also have leftover lee valley gift card money that I...
Stevie,
i appreciate ate your threads and provide a different perspective many times. Your backsaw threads were great and don't be discouraged by lack of saw build threads on the forum. For...
Mike,
Wow! You get some things done in the shop. Appreciate you sharing like many others in here.
Best Regards,

I went the gift card route, I don't spend money on tools very often and ther was nothing in my need category. Almost bought a dovetail and tenon saw but decided I would buy their offered set with a...
Bull nose pliers, which I think is the generic term for what several people have shown they are using.

Awesome work Mike! Thanks for taking the time to share the progress. Threads like these are one of the reasons I visit this site.

Awesome work Mike! Time lapse video is nice, we do these at work from time to time when we have a large assembly project or fast field harvesting. I like it.

Beautiful work Brian. I appreciate your video on the drawer pulls and couldn't help but notice the cinematic effect of the glare off your chisel bevel when you started the chamfers:D.
Bob
Mike - as always, fantastic work. Thanks for taking the time to share the pictures and process.

I worked in a shop one summer that had a $2k professional grade sharpener. Used it for a while and learned what sharp should look like on a drill bit. Went to engineering grad school and our shop...
Thanks for the kind words.
Prashun- :D, although my wife avoids heels as often as possible. She would fill the rack with tennis shoes if allowed.
Mike, agreed, if the wife is happy, it's a...
After a long delay I finally had time to finish the rack last weekend. I spent around 3 months writing to finish my last degree along with work and family pretty much prevented any shop time. Was...
Beautiful work and thanks for sharing it Derek.
