Display Cabinet

[Joe Scharle]

Don't want you folks to think that just sitting around! This is all I got done today. I can't believe what I paid for HD poplar!

 

[WoodWrangler]

Looking good ... wish I could hang out all day woodworking!

 

[cpowell]

Whoa, it doesn't look like you've been sitting around to me. I wish I could be so productive!

Did you buy the lumber from the BORG? HD lumber prices are kinda hard to swallow. Are you set up to mill your own rough cut stock?

I usually resaw rough stock but I didn't have any poplar, white pine or anything that would take a baby skin paint finish. It's been so long since I've bought from the BORGs that I was shocked.

Isn't it nice to be able to just hang around the shop all day?:drunken_s Looks like you were very busy. I can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[Alan in Little Washington]

Looking good so far. Is that for your house or another's?

What are the darker pieces at the left of the second pic?

 

[skeeter]

Looks like you got off to a great start. Nice work! Good to know that all HD's are the same, high!!

 

[cskipper]

That's more than I could have done in a day!

 

[erasmussen]

Looking good:eusa_clap

[thrt15nc]

That's about two months of work for me!!! Looks nice. Can't wait to see the finished piece.

It's going to replace a smaller piece that one of my girls is taking.
Darker pieces are walnut blanks for cabriole legs that were cut from a big balk and are still drying.
No sooner than I get rid of those fridges one of my girls will need one. When they were home this was their playroom and both fridges were always full of cokes and ice cream.

 

[NZAPP1]

That is coming along nicely:icon_thum Keep us in the loop on your progress

 

[Canuck]

Very nice, Joe!

I sure can identify with the cost of poplar and red oak at Lowes and the HD! I just about have to take out a 2nd mortgage for any substantial amount! I guess that's the price I pay for convenience ... certainly not quality!:BangHead:

You certainly got an awful lot done in one day! Must have had very limited interruptions!

Look forward to seeing further progress pics.

Thanks for posting!

.....both fridges were always full of cokes and ice cream.

I am quite jealous. Getting to play in shop all day....

Very nice!

 

[sapwood]

Don't slow down now Joe! Though I'm convinced all this productivity has something to do with the WoodRat :lol:

The cabinet is looking good and I can't wait to see what's happening tomorrow. :eusa_clap

Against all odds! What with Dr appts and a kid who broke her car key off in the door at State, I did find time to finish the face frame. The WoodRat makes quick work of the M & T joints. All squared up & ready to glue up the case.

 

[NZAPP1]

WOW Joe you are making fast work of it. It would take me two day just to get the wood cut for the face frame.

 

[Joe Scharle]

Out of town yesterday. Finished the doors and top this AM. Now for the dreaded paint job! Then I can have the glass cut.

 

[Joe Scharle]

D*mn, I hate to paint. Anyway, it's done! Glass was done by the good folks at Southern Glass in Fuquay-Varina. Perfect fit!
