    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.

    Beautiful work Jason. Please keep this out of the ladies room. When did you find time with that new addition to your family??

    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.

    Tyler, You've touched on that great mystery once again. Who can explain furniture in bathrooms - except for the obvious pieces of course? Fortunately, I don't think our church ladies will have much use for a cd case in the bathroom, at least I hope not.
