    Shaker style CD case.

    Here's a piece I built a little bit ago after seeing something very similar online (http://www.timothyclark.com/c_cdcab.html). We have a lot of cd's floating around and this keeps most of them in their place. Seeing as how the Shakers were lover's of music, I'm sure they would have had something like this for their cd's as well

    The sides of the case were joined with dovetails using the d4. The joints of the table are peged with Walnut. The doors are as well, but these don't go all the way through. They are meant as more of an accent than anything else.

    I like this. Looks like another project on SMC I can't let LOML see.

    Cool

    Very nice, Jason! Really enjoy all the detail and those dovetails really add an interesting and strong detail! Thanks for sharing.

    Let me echo Rob...DUDE, that's awesome! Nice project and good photos, too. Being partial to this style, you're welcome to drop it off here should you ever grow tired of it in your own house!

    Jason,

    Very fine work, as usual...

    I like it!

    Truly a Shaker style piece, with a modern use.

    Jason,

    That's a really nice piece of furniture. I love the clean, simple lines and the cherry color to boot!

    I have to ask, did you use some sort up photo editor to touch up the background in the picture? The reason I ask is that the lighting and resulting shadows seem skewed. Also the back wall and the flooring.

    I hope I'm not stepping on any toes... the CD case looks fantastic.

    /Kevin

    Kevin, my toes are just fine The shadows are skewed because I had a couple lamps pointed at the case when I took the picture. Alas, the weird shadows. I really like photography but the whole lighting thing is a real bear. I blurred the background a bit in Photoshop Elements and did a little sharpening. Beside that, that's my house. Here's what the case looks like in the "non-doctored" and "unposed" chaos of our TV room.

    Hey Jason,

    I still stand behind what I said.... that piece is really nice!

    I didn't doubt your work... the background just drew my eyes to it. I've messed around with photoshop from time to time also, but that's more my wife's forte.

    If my work looks half as good as your cherry case, I'll be happy.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Jason, beautiful piece!

    In that space, I'm picturing a 4½' wide cherry Shaker piece, about 85" tall. 16" deep at the bottom and 10" deep on top, with a 42" high countertop. Six-light glass doors on top (4), and a single wide drawer just under the counter. Although, you'd have to lose the Ficus.

    When you get this new one finished, let me know and I'll dispose of your CD cabinet!

    LOL... I said Shaker style. I'll have to get permission to build a Shaker reproduction, not to mention a building permit. I do love the idea though.

    Hey Jason,

    Two thumbs up. It is really a very nice piece of work - you should send a photo into FWW. How many hours did you put into the project and what finish did you apply to the cherry (it has beautiful uniform color).

    cheers,
    Roger
