Progress - Sapele media cabinet

[Jake Boeger]

Started this project in early July.

I plan to leave the dovetails proud with a slight roundover. I may also leave the tenon wedges a bit proud as well.

Doors will be inset with glass. Back panel will be Sapele veneer.

Coming along nicely Jake, looking forward to your progress

Nice crisp dovetails. I should visit you for some lessons. I am still in the practice mode.

Nice work Jake.
you must be a young feller 🤣
my days of building big pieces is probably over. Too many aches and pains.

Lovely grain choices.

Kudos

Great start and a great intro. Love the Pekovich-ish dovetails. I also dig the old Craftsman cab-saw. Looks like a 1960's King Seeley. I really enjoy working with sapele; so many rich colors. Looking forward to tagging along.

Finished the back panel.

Rounded over the tenon wedges.

I couldn't help but apply a coat of wipe-on poly just to see how it looked.

Shout-out to Titebond liquid hide glue. Cleans up extremely easy and doesn't soak into end grain like PVA. Not sure I would have been able to leave the wedges proud without it.

Progress on the doors. Waiting to glue.

Bridle joints with glass panels.
