Successful Delivery — It's a Buffet!
Just a few more items left to complete the cabinet and prepare it for delivery.
Up One Level
Time to move the cabinet out of the basement and up one level to the living room for making final preparations before delivery.
Drawer Assembly and Fitting
Drawer box assembly and the beginning of fitting the drawers to the pockets in the mahogany buffet.
Doors and Drawers
A bit of finish work on the doors and it's time to move on to the drawer joinery.
Top and Doors
This week, I'm completing work on the top and fitting the doors on the mahogany buffet cabinet.
Nearing the Top
The drawer pockets are coming together this week with a lot of fitting, prefinishing and gluing.
Drawer Webframe
Excitement builds in the studio as preparations are being made for some major glue-ups of the mahogany buffet cabinet.
The Upper Tier
Some major assembly happened this past week as well as progress on the upper drawer tier.
Cabinet Assembly Prep
Lots to do this week as I prepare the main cabinet panels for glue-up.
Door and Back Glue-ups
To enhance this week's glue-ups, I've selected Honduran mahogany off-cut medallion squares, each topped with a layer of complementary beige mat board.
Frame and Panel
The frame and panel doors and cabinet backs make their appearance in the woodworking studio.
Onward and Upward
This week it's time to wrap up the cabinet bottom and begin building upwards.
Miters, Mortises and More...
The foundation for the mahogany buffet is beginning to take shape. Finally, some work with solid wood.
