Woodworking v. 2.0.0.8 Cabinet w/ Doors *whew*

This will be a short little update. Thought I would throw in a couple pics of the kids while posting the progress I have made on the nightstands I am making!

Lincoln and I Christmas Shopping (Natalie is SO happy).

Greyson sleeping in the car - masterful camerawork if I do say so myself! We were parked while Natalie ran into a store and I took this "no look" shot.


Ok, here come the cabinets. The first shot is of a raised panel door frame and will give you an idea of how complicated some of this joinery can be. The difficulty here is making all the parts so that they fit together tight enough that they don't slip even without glue, yet you can pull them apart once you put them together. Time lapse from the first pic to the last pic is about 10 hours of wood trimming, gluing, and more fitting.







So the doors are perfectly fit now (as in less than a 64th of an inch gap - they stay in by themselves). Saturday I will work on the tops and the drawers- Monday I finish hanging the doors. Hopefully I can get these things finished... CHRISTMAS IS COMING lol.
