I have a bunch of knives, mostly pocket knives. Maybe 30 or so? Needed a place to store them. RE: Big question - Brent V. - 12-15-2020 That is a beautiful piece of furniture and I have completely enjoyed the build-along. Thank you for taking us along! RE: Small cabinet build-along - TomFromStLouis - 12-15-2020 That's a real beauty Aram. I think for most of us that make one off projects everything feels like a prototype. Even when I remake a design I seem to inevitably do something that gives it a prototype feel. But fortunately most people do not see our work that way and I am developing the skill to see things their way once the project is finished. And occasionally - like you here - I have nothing to apologize for. RE: Small cabinet build-along - cputnam - 12-15-2020 (12-14-2020, 10:24 PM)Aram Wrote: Thanks.

RE: Small cabinet build-along - nodima - 12-16-2020 I just saw this thread, and read along from the get go. Lot of interesting parts documented well, thank you very much. I'm just finishing a jewelry cabinet, also of sapele and mahogany, but with curly maple accents. It was nice to see such similar woods used in another build, the bookmatch veneer you did is spectacular. This project was also a parallel for me in regards to knife hinges, they do require accuracy, but what an effect. The other part that will help me in the future is your approach to the steps in the legs - there is a lot of influence of one of my favorite Krenov pieces in those legs, and I've got some ideas for a project which will use them, so thanks for showing the way. Beautiful work. RE: Small cabinet build-along - C. in Indy - 12-18-2020 (12-14-2020, 10:12 PM)cputnam Wrote: That is one beautiful, gorgeous piece of work. +1 It is gorgeous! Also, the "walker look" here is very finely proportioned. It's not easy to do; I have a piece that looks good from the front but looks too deep fore/aft, so I intentionally keep it in a corner of a room, located diagonally, to hide some of the bulk. This Aram small cabinet is much finer than mine! RE: Small cabinet build-along - Aram - 12-18-2020 (12-18-2020, 04:34 PM)C. in Indy Wrote: +1 It is gorgeous! Thank you guys RE: Small cabinet build-along - Aram - 12-19-2020 Someone in Woodworking reminded me to show the other sides. Left Right side Back RE: Small cabinet build-along - AHill - 12-21-2020 Turned out really nice, Aram! Your attention to detail was a pleasure to watch. I have a "few" knives also. Zero Tolerance, Benchmade, Spyderco, Bark River, Case, Buck, Al Mar, and a few other others. Getting a degree in Metallurgical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines gives me a bit of an affinity to Spyderco, which is based out of the same city. My knife hobby is not nearly as expensive as my watch hobby. I have one watch worth more than all my knives put together. |
