Well, a few weeks ago I actually started building a project for my family - okay, for me. Being a Shaker fanatic, I decided to build a project I've wanted to build for a long time, a Shaker Tall or Tin Cabinet. I'm using drawings from John Kassey's book on Shaker Furniture and Christian Becksvoort (<A HREF="http://www.chbecksvoort.com/cases.html" TARGET="_blank">C.B. Tall Cabinet</A></EM></font>), along with some CAD drawings I put together.
At 78 1/2" tall, it's a beast to lug around. Not that it's heavy, it's just, well, tall. I've already had the iron out repairing dents - this is a life saver trick isn't it? Being this tall, the dovetails took some time to figure out how/where I was going to cut them. Anyway, last night I got the faceframe put on and sanded flush. If I get out of my office early enough today, I might begin on getting the wood planed for the back. If not, I'll get to it on Monday, d.v.
I'm attatching a few pics so that you can see the progress. I've taken a number of construction pics if your interested in looking at more. This link should get you there <A HREF="http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/curc@sbcglobal.net/lst?.dir=/d4bf&.view=t" TARGET="_blank">Shaker Tall Cabinet Progress</A></EM></font>
Have a good weekend everyone!
