Road trip this morning ( 2 miles, each way..whoppee) now have the Plexiglass and 5 handles from Lowes.  Yes, I wore a mask.   Lunch by way of Burger King Drive-Thru...

Ok...drawer No.1 is out of the clamps..

   
Sides cleaned up..

   
Circles are where squares had been installed, to fill in where the grooves would have shown through....

   
handle was installed after I had ground the pointy ends off....didn't like the teardrop ends..
.then stashed the drawer, for now...
 

   
At least until the stain arrives.   Then worked on Drawer No. 2.....dovetails made, all parts dry fitted, bottom panel trimmed to fit...was a bit too wide..then..

   
Clamps, cauls and glue arrived.  Needed the vise as a third hand...makes adding more clamps easier....only one problem..
 

   
No place to set this forest of clamps, so I could work on Drawer No. 3....Well, being a Monday and all....didn't want to press my luck, anyway...

Stay tuned....will get #3 done tomorrow...and then start working on a door, or two.....might have the hinges by then...

I like the first one you have shown with the planes in it.  What is it you do not like about it??

Me I am thinking it would be easy to see and lift out and put back in.

Got tired of cleaning all the dang dust off of them.   And, it didn't hold enough planes..

Appointment to get my finger poked this morning, Blood Thinner Clinic.   Reading was 1.9
  Screened on the way in...passed. Can't wear my glasses AND that dang mask....walking around in a fog....

May skip Lunch until later today....want to get the last drawer glued up....so I can start on a door..or two...may just do two....less door to swing around..


Stay tuned

OK

I love how this one is coming out.

Time to get caught up.   Drawer #2 is completed...handled, and stashed away..

   
Handles needed reground...didn't care for the shape they came in..

   
So, a grinder and a cup of water..
 

   
Should do the trick.   Drawer itself got planed...
 

   
Marks made to center the handle on the drawer front..

   
Pilot holes for the screws was by North Brothers #41...Checked drawer #1..

   
Thought I heard something rattling around....

Drawer #3 was then dovetailed, bottom was cut to fit...and that forest of clamps came back..

   
And I thought I was down for the day... 
 
Decided I wanted a molding around the drawer openings, to give something for the doors to rest on..

   
nothing fancy, mind you.   But to get the needed stock, I needed to rip a few 1 x 6s down....might as well mill the parts for the doors, too..

   
4 stiles, and 4 rails...grooved for the plexiglass panel, too.
 

   
Means I need to sketch up all the cuts I need to make...to make the two doors.   After I get the last drawer done. 

Sure to involve a bit of cussing...
 

Stay tuned...

Drawer #3 is...done, and fitted..

   
Mortise & Tenons started up...with a jig..

   
To hold the stiles in place, while I chop a mortise..

   
Then a dry fit...

   
Doors will meet with a "lap joint"....had to do a piece of scrap to check on how it will look..

   
Can fine tune for a better fit, later.  

Shopping trip to pick up the hinges, a latch, something to cut the plexiglass with....and a shop light, for over the sanding center/drill press area...and forgot a light bulb
 

maybe after supper, I can get something done, today?


Stay tuned

Fine tune a rebate? 

   
With a skewed rebate plane, of course....Left hand door has been assembled, glued up.  Unclamped this morning, squared the ends.   attached the hinges to the door..

   
Then check the swing...

   
Then work on the right hand door....mortises done a bit differently...

   
Used fewer tools, too..
 

   
Dry fit, and mark the new plexiglass for length..
 

   
Took the plexiglass cutter back to Lowes, was a waste of $4....panel for the left hand door snapped....just not in the right places.  Wound up cutting a panel for the left door with the tablesaw.....today, I made Lowes do the cutting....I only had to trim the end for length,,by about a 1/4"....used the Tablesaw saw and rip fence....Ok, glue clamps and cauls time
 

   
C clamps and cauls to keep the corners flat, and added a helper to keep the clamp's pad in place....

   
One spot needed two cauls...and..

   
Checked the corners for square....leaning up against the plexiglass panel, btw. 
Will let this sit a day...then add the hinge and the handle....then think about a stain to apply...


Stay tuned.
