Nope. You win.
Congratulations. Harold will get your award in the mail shortly.
The door and drawer reveals look perfect. The dovetails look perfect. What else could possibly go wrong?
EDIT: I have pretty much worn out my entire cuss word lexicon. Please PM me with the ones you found most helpful. Thanks.

That is a good one........
I did make a cabinet with 3 drawers in it, I made the drawers to wide because I forgot to subtract the slides.

First picture: Looking good so far!

Your right Kent.......
I think it needs a good sharpening as my joints are coming out a little loose.

A Blum 170 degree concealed hinge might work. I've not used them but from the diagram it looks like it moves an inset door completely out of the opening when the door is open.

Searching for solutions now be the support legs are limiting options to about 115 degrees of opening.......
maybe the trays will make some nice shop pullouts.

Such a nice looking build,Cup hinges just don't fit the style to me. I can see the legs will be a problem even for offset knife hinges.What a shame.

Owwww! I've had too many days like that. Overall that looks totally stunning. I'm sure you'll come up with a brilliant solution yet. Are those doors just a solid slab?

The doors are 4 pieces, book matched with the sap wood for a bit of accent

A very wise man told me: When you are digging a hole for yourself, the first thing to do is to throw the shovel away.Originally Posted by Brian Hale
I assume you have the same situation on the far right, right?
Make 4 new trays. Move on. Or, as the saying goes: FIDO -- [Forget] It, Drive On.

I haven't made that exact mistake but I know the sinking feeling well.
