Small cabinet

Project by Betsy posted 227 days ago 391 views 1 time favorited 12 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This is a small cabinet I made for a friends Wii system. She has a very small space between two doors that she sits her TV and wanted a cabinet with a shelf to hold the Wii console and a drawer deep enough to put the games in on their sides. With the space constraints the proportions did not work out so well. But the cabinet is sturdy and should last a good long while.

Thanks for looking.

It’s very handsome! What species of wood is it, cherry?

Betsy, this is a really nice cabinet. Cherry can be a challenge at times to work with but it is such a gorgeous wood. You did such a good job on this one and I hope there will soon be more cabinets in your woodworking future.

Beautiful, Betsy!!

I really like the molding detail that ties the top to the cabinet. Also, great choice of hardware!!

Thanks guys. Cherry is one of my favorite woods. But you do have to have a very sharp, clean blade to keep from burning the edges.

Lew – I was worried about the hardware, but I think it looks pretty good.

Scott – not sure how many more cabinets are in my future. But I will certainly be more confident the next time around.

Thanks again guys.

Betsy, I think it’s gorgeous.

You should have titled the project “Wee Wii Cabinet”.
