More cabinet making.

We were hit by a major snow storm Friday. I haven't heard official statistics but my guess is we got about a foot of snow. Finnigan is loving it even though he has to lope along like a deer to get around the back yard. I will post a picture of him up to his belly in snow. I also snapped a picture of the deck with the rope lighting on and the snow on it. I have had time to work on the cabinets due to Faye being on a rescue mission to South Carolina. It seems my sister-in-law is still trying to play bumper cars with semi trucks. She is basically ok, she has some fractured vertebrae the doctors say a few weeks in a brace and she will be fine. So I will post a couple of pictures of the drawer cabinets, one is complete except for finish sanding and the other needs sides and sanded. Ready for the painting when Faye gets home tomorrow. That's all for now, updates when the mood strikes me.

Woodworking 301

It has been ages since I posted to this blog. I am working on a new project and thought I would share the progress. No I haven't given up the train layout, I am just exercising a few of my other interests and hopefully helping my lovely wife to get better organized, and more productive in her crafting endeavors. I agreed to construct a crafting station (counter-top and cabinets with drawers) for her craft room. I have started the project by drawing plans that I will download the plans and a couple of the first pictures of the build. I am starting by building the two drawer cabinets, so far I have completed the frames and the face of one cabinet and started the face of the other one. I am using a new method and tool on this build I purchased a dovetail jig at Harbor tool and freight. I priced these jigs and similar jigs cost anywhere from $100 to $200 and I bought this one for $34.00. Quite a savings if I do say so myself. I have set the jig up and made some test cuts and have it set where I want it so tomorrow I plan on dovetailing the first drawer. I will take a couple of pictures of the jig and the process and finished product . Here are the pictures and plans for your approval!
