Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome!! My first question for you would be what do you want to make? With a few examples of projects that interest you myself and others can absolutely provide you some advice but that's kind of a starting point.

LOL no the door veneers are to the left and ash that is just a mat 🙂

Got a couple hours in today. My shelf pins came in. These won't be seen as I will add a relief in the bottom of the shelf Next I routed the slots for the door close magnets Once lined up I remove the tape and cut. I used tape to insure the were in the right spots a miss now would be bad Then worked out the door pull reliefs using the PR and a core box router bit These should work well

I do the same.

Honestly the Oliver does such an awesome job that if I'm only running a few pieces I don't bother switching the J/P. If I have a lot I still do.

Busy week at the office so no workshop time until today. Started out by marking the area the fixed shelves will go in each door. With the joinery all done I don't need any mistakes... Then milled some shelf stock up Marked the location for the main shelf mortice in each door side Then set up the PR to cut the mortise. I have two template holders so I can have one set up for up and down cuts and one for the side ways cuts. Well worth the cost especially if you wait for a sale which they have regularly With the set up done I cut the mortises Then it was time to set up for the tenons. The beauty of the PR is once set up you can really knock things out fast, especially with the air clamps option. Here I use the shelf stock to insure the tenon is centered on the shelf This swing stop lets you swap parts with out further setup I cut a tenon and immediately realize I mucked up! Forgot to change to the larger bearing, good thing this is a test piece so no harm done That's better With that done I just need to drill holes for the shelf pins so I can have adjustable shelves. With a fence set up at the DP this was a quick task Time to clean up the door parts It was at this point I realized that while I had run tests for the magnet cuts I had never actually made the cuts on the project...facepalm! So I put the doors back together and marked the locations. Then I reset the PR for this task I'll make the cuts in the AM but did make the plug stock using hand tools That's all for today.

Yep I will use the vacuum bag.

1) Two clamps on the back side. I'll try and snap a pic and post later today. 2. No its just the angle 🙂

Finished cutting what I hope is all the veneer I will need for the project and then cleaned it up on the drum sander. FWIW these are the longest thin sheets I have sent through the drum sander and you need to hold them down on the platen as it feeds into the DS or they may buckle not so laissez-faire like in this photo...ask me how I know

Back at it. First up swap in a new Woodslicer resaw blade to resaw some ash. This is for the door panels this stuff was a bit squirrely so I went almost an 1/8" thick and will take them down to final thickness 1/16" on the drum sander. This should work. I will need to resaw some plain maple for the back side. I'm using 3/8" BB for the core. Going down to 1/16" requires a sled so I knocked one out quick since I didn't have one long enough laying around While I waited for that to dry I knocked out the second door frame That's it for today.

I stand corrected the plans didn't account for this and I would have had an issue!! Thanks for the heads up by shortening the top and bottom rails of the right door by 1/16" problem will be solved. Had you not pointed this out a before I DT'd the right door a slight bevel would have been required so thanks again!

There will be a frame and rail panel glued to this so shouldn't have to as these frames are inside of that. The frame and panel will have a tight gap but these frames will have some space. Hopefully that makes sense if not let me know.

Just some clamp stickers so I didn't mar the case when I was pulling the joints together.
