This week, during the mortising of the rear legs, several small defects appear in the wood that need to be addressed.

All the parts get rough milled and Vidar's Chair starts to get legs.

With the end of winter comes an opportunity to begin another reproduction of Vidar's Chair.

Just a few more items left to complete the cabinet and prepare it for delivery.

Time to move the cabinet out of the basement and up one level to the living room for making final preparations before delivery.

More drawer hanging activity this week on the Mahogany Buffet.

Drawer box assembly and the beginning of fitting the drawers to the pockets in the mahogany buffet.

Major glue-up time.

Excitement builds in the studio as preparations are being made for some major glue-ups of the mahogany buffet cabinet.

Some major assembly happened this past week as well as progress on the upper drawer tier.

Today, before I get back into the studio for more glue-ups, I just wanted to share a nice short little video (length 2:36) that was made recently at my alma mater.

The main cabinet assembly preparations continue. Almost ready for glue-up.

Lots to do this week as I prepare the main cabinet panels for glue-up.
