Wow. Beautiful work. You are definitely a man of many talents.

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing, but now we'll all go into our sewing rooms and 'sigh' thinking about it.

OMG!! That is gorgeous! I thought I was really organized, but you way surpassed me. Wonderful job!

Me too.

Beautiful cabinet
Have a Blessed day

I love it.. what a neat idea!!

I am organized (obsessed??) like you! Great cabinet - sounds like it's extremely good quality.

Beautiful work...lovely piece of furniture and so useful as well.

Very nice. Great labor of love.
I am showing this to DH, he needs a new furniture project. He just finished making our kitchen cabinets out of hickory, maybe 2 yrs ago.

John, That is a beautiful cabinet, and I know you must be enjoying the organization. Wish you could pass some of that along to my DH

Very nice.

A true mechanic all the pieces in the right place. Nice job from a union carpenter.

Major cabinet envy in this corner.

John, Welcome to you and your lovely wife. Such amazing craftmanship! Can't wait to see your quilts.

Green with envy
:hunf:

Yes, I will take one of those. I'm just in the process of updating things in my studio Ha!first time I called it that. Just want to get rid of the plastic. It's worked but would like to improve the appearance. And get a little more organized. Thanks for sharing.

Thank You Brother.
John

A beautiful, wonderful piece for your sewing supplies etc.

Beautiful woodworking skills!

I just hope the spousal unit doesn't see this thread. I'm already on the hook for a cabinet for the new Juki (my fault really - I opened my mouth) and having her planning on this as well wouldn't be nice.

So, traditional tools or electron munchers?

Great cabinet !!!!!!!

I want one too

Rough prep of rough sawn lumber: Power saw and thickness planer.
Assembly: Hand saws, Chisels, Scrapers, ect.
Finish: Varnish, brushes, Wax rubout.
Traditional joinery methods only. Dovetails, Mortise and tenon, tongue and groove, moldings, ect. All done with hand tools.
I love working wood with hand tools. You might find it hard to make a living with it these days, especially in this market, but it is possible in one of the upscale areas of the country. At least it was until the crash.

Sounds like a woodworker after my own heart! For the sewing machine cabinet I'm looking to use some white oak planks that the previous owner left here - 7 or 8 of them, rough, 2" x 14" or so, 7 or 8' long. The nasty part will be resawing them but I'll take my time and do that by hand. I'll have to hire someone to thickeness them after the resawing. I'll use a table saw for long rips but otherwise I'm planning to do it by hand. Given how quickly I work (or not, as the case may be) I'm just as glad I'm not trying to make a living doing this ;)

BTW, do you ride fixed gear or did you take your handle from somewhere else?

I have a whole basement full of them. Some remakes of old geared bikes, and one custom frame made for me by a local frame builder here in Ohio. That one is all Campy Track equipt.
The others are Phil Wood and other American components. I love the fun of popping your eyeballs out on long uphill climbs. It is the masochist, in me.

Yup me too!
