Lingerie Cabinet - Skirt Feet and Top Episode 4



We find ourselves in Webisode 4 of Building a Contemporary Lingerie Cabinet, machining parts to attach our polished aluminium feet, properly skirting the cabinet base for higher quality, cutting our Back Panel and edge banding our quarter sawn ash top.

We'll prove our square cabinet glue-up and further test our glue-up skills when edge banding our top.

It's an intense episode. Enjoy!!!!

Lingerie Cabinet: Dry Fit then Glue - Episode 3



In this the third Webisode of "Building a Contemporary Lingerie Cabinet", we'll start by addressing our building "QUALITY" and how we should be aware of, and use, "Design Elements". Followed by a quick demonstartion on rounding our tenons, we then dry fit our parts and Glue-up our case.

We'll find our elusive "Square" carcase and leave the hardest part behind.

After this webisode, it's all about the "dressing".

Building the Ash Lingerie Cabinet - Episode 2



In the second webisode, we create a visual with a dry clamped mock-up of all machined parts to date.

Starting with the clean-up of the edge-banding, we then machine the end panels, bottom, mortices, rail tenons, and dry assemble complete with legs, our Contemporary Lingerie Cabinet.

The piece begins to take shape!!!

Building a Contemporary Lingerie Cabinet



The first installment in the Design and Construction of a Lingerie Cabinet.

Dimensional Sketch below.

Contemporary design elements, the likes of quarter sawn ash veneer, ebony drawer pulls with a polished chrome highlight and complimentary polished aluminium feet, make this build unlike others.

Webisode 1 will expose you to the thought of mixing the medium, panel glue-up and machining of edge banding.

The Ash Lingerie Cabinet project will expose you to a building style that will open up your future woodworking experience.

We've gotten excellent feedback. Subscribers have begun to show up.

Fine Woodworking.com in the First Blog post. He mentioned we'll be linked to his site. That's very good.
All in all...............a nice way to begin...........more on the way.
