		<title>Mission Bookcase &#8211; delivered</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is a pic of the completed bookcase.  
The 4 shelves are adjustable.  There are floating panels on each side and 2 on the back.  I used a &#8220;clover&#8221; milk paint to stain this a very light green which allows the grain (poplar) to show.  It was sealed with 6 coats of tung oil.
 Not visible in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cherry Wardrobe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I finally got some pix of the cherry wardrobe I finished last year.  So this post just to update on last year&#8217;s post which showed it under construction.

 
There are 8 dovetail drawers with floating cedar bottoms and 6 shelves with cedar panels floating within the cherry shelf frames.

		<title>0.2 Frame Assembly</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After laying out the position of the mortises on each of the frame corners and the single rear stile, the mortises were cut using my mortising machine. 
I made 1/2&#8243; mortises and allowed for a 1/4&#8243; inset for the side and rear panels.  The front bottom rail and the top face frame mortise were cut so the [...]]]></description>

		<title>0.1 Bookcase &#8211; Laminating Panels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the prior photos (0 Bookcase), though hard to see, I have already prepared the corners of the frame. Specific steps were:

Cut selected (i.e., no flaws that will weaken the frame) 8 / 4 poplar to rough length on the miter saw
Divide these lengths into about 3 1/2 inches rough width on the band saw [...]]]></description>

		<title>0 Mission Style Bookcase &#8211; construction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A young lady asked me to build a Mission style bookcase as in the rough sketch below.

so I thought I would document the steps in its construction.
Here are shots of the rough wood &#8211; poplar.  
I need 3 sizes &#8211; 4 / 4 for the shelves and panels,  6 / 4  for the frame components, the top and doors, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bonnetiere &#8211; Tall Cabinet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[



I used the plans in a Quebec do-it-your-self publication exactly, including mitering the 4 corners of this piece and preparing the 2 piece cornice. 

This is the first time  I made such a crown moulding.  Since I do not have a cutter/bit with the required profile, I used an old (extra) router bit from which I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fire Wood Box</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We use our fire place quite a lot and I just got tired of seeing the firewood lying beside or in front of it so I undertook a quick project to design and build a box to store the wood.
It is solid pine, with spaces between the rails to allow any damp wood to breathe [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shutters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our home in the country is quite private and so we do not have any window coverings.  My wife wants some simple shutters for the guest bathroom.  So I have started to experiment when I have some free shop time.
These are made of Spanish cedar with a single coat of Sikkens Cetol natural stain.   The [...]]]></description>
