A New Project

 

The owner of the cabin I helped build earlier this year asked if I could make some cabinets as well. They are to be rustic and made out of pine. So I got some rustic looking plywood and spent a couple days making the carcasses for the lower cabinets. They will sit on a pedestal on the floor that I have yet to build which will form a toe kick like traditional cabinets. The one odd looking cabinet is the sink cabinet. The other three will have a drawer on top and cupboard space below. The countertop will be butcher block. 

It is really hot around here right now so I try to get up and started early in the morning while it is still cool and just work for a half day and then move onto other things in the afternoon. This has been working out thus far. Tomorrow, I am going to get material to make the face frame, the pretty part that covers up the exposed edges of plywood and on which the doors will eventually get hung. I will also pick up material to make the pedestal on which everything will sit. That should give me plenty to do while waiting for the drawer slides to arrive which I just placed an order for.
