In this video, I start making a James Krenov inspired case. The pieces for the base came from a single piece of 8/4 walnut. I cut the parts and join everything with the Festool Domino and a few dowels.
This project is coming along! In this video, I start making the cabinet from hard maple from the base up. Of course, all the joinery for the cabinet is held together with dominos. I then route the back of the cabinet to accept the solid maple panel back.
After dry fitting the case together, I start making the frame and panel solid maple back. All the measurements are taken directly off the case.

It’s time to make the doors! There is a lot of layout due to the complexity of the different sizes for the rails and stiles and the bridle joints. I then glue up the panels with the book matched crotch maple panels. It was a lot of work, but the end result is beautiful!
In this video, I cut in the mortises for the knife hinges in the bottom and top of the case. Then perform the final glue up of the cabinet. I also make a very big mistake along the way can you guess what it is?
If you have any questions, please let me know, as I would love to hear from you.
Well it’s time to finally hang the doors on the cabinet. I trim the door to fit opening, and cut the mortises in the bottom of the doors for the knife hinges. The mistake of not bringing the hinges up 5/16” from the case has not prevented me from hanging the doors correctly. I’m hoping that only the trained eye will find my mistake!
Just a quick video showing how I put the finish on the piece. I start by using boiled linseed oil, move on to spraying two coats of shellac with an HVLP gun, and finish by adding a layer of wax. It came out wonderful!
In the final video of this build, I make the post and bail pulls for the doors. I do something a little different for the door catches, and finally attach the cabinet to the base. This was a fun project to make!
