Cabinets

My latest woodworking job has taken me away from furniture and brought me to a more practical side of woodworking. I was asked to do a small set of kitchen cabinets and it has been a great experience. Those of you that are close to me know that at times I have come close to pulling my hair out but that was more in response to trying to make cabinets and get other jobs done as well. I know that in the future there will be more cabinet jobs and I cant wait. The cabinets you see here are going to be painted white. I am looking forward to their completion. The only downside to doing a job like this is my lack of space in my shop, so the cabinets have invaded my dining room. The doors are almost done and I probably only have a day and a half left on the entire project. I hope the customers love them. My spare time and fine woodworking are really synonymous in my life. I rarely ever have actual spare time and when I do I love to try some fine woodworking. I always seem to get slightly anxious when a project is drawing to a close and this one is no different. I cant wait to do one of my favorite things and that is spend a few minutes admiring what I was able to accomplish. It is so nice to not have my mind racing about what I am supposed to do next and just let everything go and  just marvel. It never lasts long. The next project takes over pretty quickly. I know that a lot of men and women build wonderful things everyday. Some of them build better than I and some do not but that doesn't stop me from being very proud of what I make. I encourage all of you to try to buy something from the little guys. You will find some wonderful craftsmen if you just give them a chance. We live in a wonderful country when you really think about what each and everyone of us can do what we love to do.
