Two corners done for my cabinet build, two to go. I did through dovetails for the base, the top will be half blind dovetails. Sketching out plans for feet and sliding doors now.

A wooden cabinet on a blue patterned floor is being held together with clamps.

My solution for transferring pins to tails on a 50x25 inch panel. It’s not pretty, but it’ll do the job.

A woodworking setup features two large wooden panels clamped to a workbench so pins can be transferred to tails for a 25 inch dovetail joint.

I just looked at the iOS top charts and it struck me how far I’ve diverged away from the mainstream of app downloads. I don’t use any of the apps on the list until #35 (Discord), which I use occasionally.

Making some wooden nails with scraps (with a dowel plate) while I wait for glue to dry on panels, which are just tiny dowels shaped to a point with a chisel. They work great for small box projects and are a good use of small hardwood scrap.

A wooden nail on a piece of wood, a wooden nail inserted into the same piece of wood; behind that a chisel, a wood scrap, and a dowel making jig.

Gluing up the bottom of my cabinet project with my random assortment of clamps. Project is going well so far. Going to attempt half blind dovetails across 25 inches.

A woodworking setup in a workshop features several wooden boards held together with multiple clamps on a workbench.

The hardest part of a workshop with no power tools: resawing. I’m not very good at holding my line, but getting better with time. Also, good exercise.

A frame saw on a workbench resawing a cherry board.

Starting a new project: a cabinet with sliding doors in (more or less) mid-century style. Spent several hours with a bunch of cherry deciding what would be used where.
