"Fancy" NEW SHOP CABINET

[rherrell]

I moved all of my pen blanks to my covered shop porch and that left me with a big bare spot to fill. Her's where my blanks ended up...

Here's some in progress photos...

Here's the finished product..

I plan on buying more planes and filling up the the whole top with them but for now I just filled it with a few tools...I couldn't stand looking at the bare spot!!!!

I am not going to like that picture, it looks too good for a shop, that needs to be in a kitchen or den or something.

Beautiful cabinet. Those are nice antiqued pulls, too. It must feel good to work in there!

Is there anything you can't do in a shop? Every time you post something it shows stunning craftsmanship. That is really nice.

That is one pretty cabinet Rick.

Nice work. Did you do it all with hand tools?

Nice cabinet work, Rick!

I agree with Ed, it is too good to be in a shop! GREAT work Rick!

THANKS for all the kind words guys! And NO...I didn't use all hand tools to make it I made the dovetails with a router jig.

I know it's a little too fancy for a shop but that's what I wanted, maybe it will give my visitors some ideas and help me sell them something similar.:biggrin:

By the way, it's made from Red Oak and the red stuff is Padauk. The drawers are Poplar.

I can already see that I'm gonna have trouble filling it up....WAIT...MORE TOOLS...YAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I have to agree with Haynie, that is stunning craftsmanship!

I think they are beautiful and certainly not too fancy for a shop. Cabinets like those would make me feel good every time I looked at them. What's wrong with having some class in the place where you'd like to spend all your free time? My Dad took a class at Woodcraft in cabinet making. We put coasters on each of his two practice cabinets and made tool stations from them. I think they are beautiful too, although not nearly the quality or beauty of Rick's. If I could build cabinets like his, I would fill my shop with them. Thanks for posting the photos. Also, I like the finished pen showcase just below the planes.

Argh! I'm never going back in my shop after seeing this! Just kidding :wink:.

Workmanship, display...it all looks great Rick! Thanks for sharing! :biggrin:
