Greetings,
I've been working on my very first set of cabinets that I was commissioned to make for our church audio department. I've been working on these cabinets with the gracious help of <B>Mark Cothren</B> and we are getting close to having these babies done. It's been about 7 weeks in progress and I found out in a real hurry that it's NO FUN having to work in the shop every single night after a full days work at the day job. Needless to say, I've gotta cut back on taking commission jobs since it takes away from my family and leaves me precious little time to "enjoy" working in the shop when I want to work in the shop. But then, it's not "work" is it?
Anyway, here are some progress pics of what has been done up through today. These cabinets are Birch Ply with a mix of Birch lumber and Alder lumber. Lesson learned? Never, Ever use solid Birch lumber on cabinets. The stuff is simply to wavey and twisted to use as faceframe or drawer stock.
The color on these cabinets are Trans Tint alcohol based dye mixed in a ratio of 2 ounces per 1/2 gallon of alcohol and the color name is Vintage Antique Maple.
