Tool Cabinet Test Run

So obviously I still need to make the doors .. and the drawers, but here’s a sneak peak at the cabinet.  I added some tools for perspective.  The lower 2 slots will have drawers.  The shelf above the drawer slots is for miscellaneous tools.

A close up on the slots.

PS.  Check out the top of the cabinet.  The mirror finish is from my jointer plane.  Yes, this is an unsolicited  hand plane commercial. ;o)

Ramped shooting board?

I don’t need no stinkin’ badge ramp!

Ok, not really.  I still want to build one, but I saw this clever trick in Wood Magazine this month.  Putting a small piece of scrap under the edge of the piece you’re shooting creates a ramp and moves the area of blade wear. (see arrow in picture)

This is a great excuse to continue to postpone building the ramped version.  ;o)

Then I made a walnut sandwich.  Ok, not really that either.  I trimmed up the cabinet dividers on the band saw.  Then I cleaned them up with a rasp and a little sandpaper.

The curves will allow a little bit easier access to the cubbies.
