I have started another upgrade in the shop.

We need cabinets in our garage so instead of building new ones for it I am going to build new cabinets for the shop and move the old ones to the garage.

I spend waaayyy more time in the shop so I think it warrents it.

My miter station will get the first new cabinets. The uppers are now done and my wife thinks I'm crazy....

Cherry ply carcasses with cherry face frames and doors. Face frames are done with 1/2 lap joints. The backs are done with peg board in case something has to be hung. All the solid cherry was smothed with hand planes which sure cut down on the dust. All in all I'm pretty happy the way this project is turning out.

After a craddle that I have to make, going to be a grampa in a coulpe of months, I will start on the base cabinets which will include my miter station. They will have a ton of drawers and will all be done with hand cut dove tails.

Thanks for looking.
