I cut to length the material for the longer cabinet, mortised and tenoned the joints and fit the pieces together. So far so good. After fitting the frame, I cut dados in the rails and glued up the botton.
It is easier to see what I did in the video than for me to describe the steps.
Tomorrow is Easter Sunday so I will not be working in the shop. But on Monday I will fit the bottom panel and start to work on the top.
Here is today's video:
Coming along quite nicely David. The oak looks good.It's almost a shame that the dark brown finish will hide it all.
ReplyDeleteHow did you cut the tenons on the very long rails? Maybe that was in a video I missed.
Enjoy the day off,Happy Easter.
Good question, I set up the radial arm saw with a stacked dado and used it to cut all the tenons to thickness. I used a hand saw to cut the sides. When I build the second cabinet I'll include some video for making the tenons.
