Really fantastic, I’ve added it to my favorites. I’d like to see more detail about how you did the sliding doors, and what method you used to cover the plywood edges (solid or edged?). I’m impressed with the splined miters, was it difficult to get the splines in the right place to keep the miters aligned?

Your grandfather has a great eye!

RyanS,

The sliding doors were fairly simple. I just milled down some 3/16” walnut strips for the rails and in the top of the base. The doors have a matching groove on the under side. The top of the door and underside of the cabinet have corresponding dodoes with lots of clearance so I can lift the doors and take them right out.

The splined mitres were a bit tricky. I cut the mitres first of the table saw, then flipped the piece over and cut the slots. One side was not aligning properly so I had the cut the slot with some wiggle room which was not ideal. In the end I shot some pins into the sides so I’m pretty sure that held everything together, at least until the glue set. I think if I took more time on the table saw and moved more slowly it would have turned out better.

Thanks for your interest. Answering questions is a lot easier than just talking about your work.
