woodworking branding iron signature, marc:so i have to apologize for not being able to show you this entire project from start to finish,but it was a good one and i have to be honest,
sometimes i just need a me project. i need to go into the shop and build something from start to finish without documenting everystep of the process. so since this was for a client and it was one that i wasunder a time constraint it was one that i thoughtwould be a good candidate for my me project this year. what we've got basically is
a floor standing cabinet with 2 doors. the primary woods arecherry here on the legs, we've got some cherryon the panels as well, and walnut is the main frame material. the top has a cherry innerpanel and a walnut frame, a mitered frame on the outside with this nice bevel that goes all the way around. the front doors here, you saw me make these on the show actually,
that's one thing thati did wind up filming, with the walnut veneer right on top of the birdseye maple, creating this really, really nice border, but 6 panels in all and 2 doors. we can open it up and look inside. and we have a single shelf. it's very simple as faras the interior goes, not much to it, a simple cherry shelf.
you can see the interior frame and panels for the sides and back. this is just a solid piece of cherry here. one thing that i did inside that, i don't know, sometimes i like to play around a little bit and since these panels were frame and panel on the side, things could move, it's solid wood, it can expand and contract,
i didn't really want toput shelf pins in here and i didn't even want to putthem into the frame at all. i figured let me try somethinga little bit different. so i put my shelf pins on thefront and back of the legs and since this is a client who really appreciates natural products and doesn't want any more metal in this than there has to be, iused little 1/4 inch dowels that fit perfectly in here
and work just like normal shelf supports. so in the front, i'msorry, in the back here and in the front, i've got 3 options for adjustability. that's another thing that - a lesson i learned from my mom actually when i first started woodworking and i made a few things for her, i said, "how many shelves do you want?"
and i went to home depot, i picked up a set of pegboard material and used that and, you know, pegboard'sspaced every inch. and she's like, "why do people want this "perforated look down thesides of their cabinets?" and really, how many positionsare you going to use? so that's something to think about. just because you canput a hole every inch, you don't necessarily need to.
so these holes, i only have 3 of them, and they're spaced about 2 inches apart so that you can have ashelf up here, down here, and then we can go a littlebit lower if we wanted to. hinges are just simple butt hinges and i will have a video showing you some of the details for that, but this is pretty much it. i have to add a little knob.
now, unfortunately, we're short a knob. this hardware was given to me years ago for this project actually and i don't know whether we lost it or inever got one to begin with, but very, very heavy duty hardware here and this is all chosen by the client. so i predrilled my holes and the knobs are just going to go in like so. so when i get the other knob,
we'll be able to finish that off. so that's pretty much it. i just wanted to make sure you guys got a little tour and got to see what this thing is all about. and, well, hopefully, it at the very least inspires you on your next project. thanks for watching. (jazz music)
marc:now if you like what we do here at the wood whisperer and you think you might want to takeit to the next level, i encourage you to check out the wood whisperer guild. it's a paid membership, but think of it more like a virtual woodworking school. three times a year weembark on a project together and you know the type of videos
that i make for the free site. imagine the level of detail that i can do when i have this opportunityto cover 1 project in basically 1 video a weekfor a 1 to 2 month timespan and that's per project so 3 times a year we just go into incredibledepth on a project and build together as a community. so there's a lot of woodworkers in there from a lot of different backgrounds
and the idea is not just to learn from me but to learn from each other. it's a great communityso if you have a chance check it out atthewoodwhisperer.com/guild.
