Work in progress

[Eric John]

G'morning everyone,
Just thought I would share a pic of tool cabinet in progress.
Shell is finished, just have to fill it up.
made from Eastern white pine, used some banding I had made a while back.
Hopefully its worthy to post.
Sorry, not computer literate, cant turn the pics.
Regards,

Nice work, nice cabinet Eric. How did you make the molding?

[Bill Adamsen]

Very attractive and nice proportions. Considering all the handwork the pocket screws seems like an unusual choice. Was that to enable removing the front panels? I work with Eastern white pine frequently and love it as a wood.

[Eric John]

Molding was cove cut on tablesaw.
Pocket screws, well, seemed like a good idea at the time?
I glued the doors to the frame, but was concerned about the weight perhaps
making them come loose over time, thougth maybe the screws would add security.
Could not figure another way at the time.

One word: WOW!! I really like the moulding.

I hear ya on the ps's. You could hide the screw holes with veneer.

You're ok on the gluing its long grain - to - long grain.

Like that bench too, I built one just like it and love it. Next time I'll put a quick release on the tail vise :-)

[Eric John]

Thanks, yes love my bench too.

[Christopher Charles]

Me either 😁. Looks good great!

[Eric John]

Thank you Lee Schierer,
I couldn't edit those pictures.

That's a sharp looking cabinet, Eric...I really appreciate that you added the raised panels and crown as a design element. So often, it's tempting to just do "functional" for shop facilities. I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing that each and every time you walk into your shop.

[Mel Fulks]

Agree with all. And the nice vertical panels are a handsome and strong design detail that would make even lesser work attractive .

Mine is still a couple of Rubbermaid containers :/

Eric - the cabinet is looking good, and makes a nice centerpiece over your workbench.

Really nice cabinet. Coves on a tablesaw. That looks great! But, I'm afraid to try that. Just seems so dangerous. Maybe I"m just a scaredy-Cat
