thanks for putting together all the pic very nice work.  since your wife lets you share 1/2 of the house for the shop, does that mean you have to give her 1/2 the money or does she just take it all like most wifes !!!

I have been looking forward to seeing the finished product and I am not disappointed.  Well done and well documented Carl!

Great job Carl. I always like the effect of using two-toned woods. It is also nice to see you getting your business up and going.

Sorry for the delay in updating...

I've got almost all of the veneer work done.  I used the MFK 700 with a flush trim bit to joint the veneer edges before I edge glued them.  My wife had the camera this day, so unfortunately I didn't get any pics.

After veneering the door cores, here are pics of the lower doors.

I then used the TS55 and my MFT to cut the veneered panels to final dimension.

With all the legs and aprons cut to final dimension, I routed dados for the panels and then used to Domino for loose tenon joinery.

I'm now working on the joinery for the front and back aprons.

Carl,

That veneer seems to be very thick compared to the typical 1/42 of an inch that most vendors offer.  Did you make it yourself by resawing thicker stock then edge to edge gluing?

Very nice job on the design and building and documentation of this cabinet/hutch!

Carl,

I've been following this post for awhile.  Everytime I see this as an "unread post" I check out your progress.  What an amazing piece of furniture.  It looks just like your original drawing.  I am sure that your client feels that it was well worth the wait.

We all know that you delayed finishing this until the month with the best prize!



Good luck with your next project.  This one was a beaut.

thanks guys for your comments!

Dave -- I resawed my own veneer, it ended up at probably about a 3/32 thickness.  I cut it a bit heavier than this to begin with due to the initial sanding -> edge gluing -> sanding to final thickness process.  It really worked out well.

Carl,

I wholly agree.  I have not tried doing that -- yet.  I will soon need to make four door panels, probably with veneered surfaces.  Thanks for showing me it can be done!
