The drawer's presentation, with the knobs centered in the bottom door panes, is a nice detail. I like that.

Hey Shara! Nice job! For the past 40 years I've been a solid wood project builder. Thanks to your inspiration and easy to follow plans, my current project is mostly birch plywood. I do not miss all the messy glue-ups, trying to keep panels straight, sanding, not having to worry so much about wood movement! Thanks for showing an "old dog" new tricks. As always, have a great weekend Shara!

RIGHT?! People always ask why I use so much plywood and look down on it for some reason, but, while I love the look of the solid oak here, I could have built this from plywood in less than half the time avoiding glue ups and sanding. I highly doubt I have anything to teach you with 40 years of experience, but I'm glad I inspired you to give the plywood a go on your latest project :) I really appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend as well!

Looks awesome sweetheart. We all make mistakes in our builds,but putting them right is what makes us better woodworkers. Well done for being you.👌

It was definitely worth the effort! Very nice project and build. The white oak is beautiful! I’m glad you always share the good, the bad, and the ugly…. Helps keep it all in perspective! You’re the best! Have a great weekend Shara and keep on building!

I so appreciate you sharing your thought process and the mistakes or obstacles! I learned a lot by seeing what you did and what you wish you could have done. As someone new to woodworking, it really helps to see that not every project goes smoothly, and how to solve problems that arise along the way. Thank you so much for making this video!

@14:55 : "...it turned out nice..." = understatement. That turned out fantastic. An experienced craftsperson overcomes "unplanned design changes" so that they are not noticeable, and I'd say this was an inspiring success. Thanks for posting, and thumbs up.

I’m just barely getting into building miniature wood furniture, but I also plan to make a few pieces of furniture for my home. Hopefully watching videos like yours will help me to become more familiar with wood working, and help me to do a good job in whatever size furniture I make.

Looks great to me

Well done! Find your work system and nothing will be stressful for you, only relaxation!

Wow! For us outsiders, this cabinet just looks perfect!

I love it!!! Wonderfull!!!

Looks great

Another great video and project...gave me ideas ...

It looks great. I think you did a good job dealing with the unexpected problems. It seems like most of my builds don’t go as planned and part of being a woodworker is learning how to work around the unexpected problems, and also not focusing as much on the small imperfections that got noticed during the build. Love your channel.

As always you have great plans. I am taking this cabinet but installling some stained glass themes in the doors instead of clear glass. I then will add some LED recessed in the top so when the lights are turned on they will illuminate thru the stained glass. Awesome cabinet Shara. You rock

Very beautiful.great work

I like the way it turned out even with the "mistakes." It's a beautiful piece of furniture that y'all will enjoy for years to come.

The creative process is organic. When you're making something new, you're always going to have to figure some things out as you go along. You overcame each challenge and it came out fantastic. I get grief from my friends sometimes for being a hoarder but I buy large amounts of items I tend to use in every project. If I see something on sale or have a coupon, I just pick some up whether I need it or not at that moment. It's cut down on a lot of those interruptions. The curse of people who make things is that we always know what we envisioned and then see all the little things that didn't fit that vision. But know one else knows that. Thank you for bringing us along and showing your process.

Shara, the cabinet looks great! No one is going to notice the deviations from your original thoughts and plans. All onlookers will just see a beautiful cabinet the master crafts person, Shara designed and built. Thanks for sharing this video with us.

It looks great! Another amazing project. Thanks for sharing.

You are so incredibly productive, and have the ability to make all your work appealing. I am one who encouraged you to branch out and include more solid wood and other joinery in your projects. I didn’t imagine you would be able to keep to the same schedule with that sort of project, though it sounds as if you would have had little trouble doing even that if you could have gotten supplies fast enough. It always takes me a while to appreciate what I’ve done because on completion of a project I focus on what I could have done differently. You have plenty to appreciate now.

Shara , thank you for video !! 😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹

Shara, I really enjoy seeing a new project from you on Saturday morning. I really appreciate the effort you put into the project and also into the video including the many links and indexes. I've built about six bookshelves following plans from New Yankee Workshop, none of which came out perfect, but the one we appreciate the most has glass doors on it. I built the door frames and my Wife took them down to the glass shop where they cut the glass to fit perfectly. We've enjoyed that cabinet for a very long time. Your video has brought back warm memories for us as well as adding some inspiration for some projects moving forward, Yours turned out very nice. Thanks for Sharing!

The cabinet turned out great Shara! You should be very happy with this, especially since you didn't have all the supplies you wanted. You made do with what you had and created something beautiful. I've been so inspired by your projects that I ordered an 18 volt circular saw and the Kreg cutting guides. I will get them next week and am excited to build some bigger projects. I have a nice SawStop cabinet saw but don't have the desire to wrestle with big sheets of plywood. The circular saw will come in so handy!

The maker looks for the imperfections. I think it is a wonderful project and turned out great! Upgrades and tweaks are a plus. Don’t be so hard on yourself

I would love to see this cabinet with the arched top!

I see what you mean about "Not feeling" the first back ply... The second one looks great...!!

You know, as problem after problem kept creeping up, and most of them unforeseen, I felt so bad for you. I kept thinking of how something reminded me of myself, how that’s something I would do, or “been there, done that”! It was only as the video was nearing its end that I realized that this must be how people always see me, like I’m an affable nitwit!! (Just me, not you…you are allowed one really rough build…all of mine are really rough on me! 😊). Keep your head up Shara, I think that even though it’s not up to your normal standards, you are going to do whatever you can to fix that. Then this piece will always hold a special place in your heart…maybe a ‘specially dark place! But a special place nonetheless! 😉

Nice job! Love the look of that cabinet. If you ever run out of dowels again you could try a loose mortise and tenon.

I really do wish my mistakes looked as good as yours. It looks fantastic 👍🏻

Awesome Круто, продолжай!

Do you have a video on making an Easel? Love your videos by the way.

I don't know why but I usually prefer woodworking videos where the worker goes through difficult times and teach us how to overcome the issues. Seems more real to me since I also struggle a lot while building things. Really good video and thank you for sharing. One question, how do you handle wood flatness and squareness?, do you buy S4S wood or always work these details with an orbital sander?!

That turned out great. Often times we are our own worst critics.

Like you i've used construction grade lumber in all my projects. I'd like to hear what you about using white oak. I've never worked with nice wood. what should i know before using nice wood?

Yes, I used a rabbeting bit to cut the rabbets. A rabbeting bit has a bushing that runs along the edge of the piece so that you cut a consistent rabbet. So no other guides are needed.
