here’s a few pics from my bathroom corner cabinet.(finished a while back just never had time to upload the pics!)
entire cabinet was made with Cherry, solid wood for the door frames and trim
plywood was used to make the boxes
my doors came out ok in the end…had some issues with my mortises. but thanks to the tips on this forum I managed to fix my problem!
you can view that topic here
the door joints are all mortise and tenon …actually used a haunched tenon for added strength… first time using that technique… not much harder, just an extra step really… and if it makes for a stronger joint then it was worth it
the wood panel on the bottom doors is actually mahogany ply. it was Cherry on the side but it was a bit damaged,so I went with that side…
made for darker panels, I like it though..
last three pics show the haunched tenon as well as my panels when being glued… .you can see from the pic that I fixed the flatness issue
anyway, thanks for the tips all
oh…and I know, I know… you shouldn’t use our table saw top as a workbench… but as you all know, we don’t all have Norm’s workshop! hehe

It looks like everything turned out great. That’s a really nice looking cabinet. I like the look of the darker panels too.

Nice job Pabs…very nice. I was reading your profile and we have some similar interests. I am in the communications field…I am a program manager overseeing light fiber installations. I also used to be a bicycle racer, so cycling was a big part of my day some years ago.
If you have the room, you could put on an extended table on your table saw. I have an outfeed table, and also an extended table to the right of the saw blade. Although I dont use the cast iron table saw top for assembly work, I do use the outfeed extension table a lot. Its very convienient…well, at least until I have to cut another board… :-)

Absolutely Gorgeous!!
I love the simplistic beauty. It reminds me of a Shaker piece.

thanks guys
yes, it is a very simple piece… for one, I like simple furniture…I like clean simple lines, I’ve always been attracted to shaker or mission style furniture…even before I got into woodworking.
maybe it’s because it’s easier to build in that style since the details are less… joints still need to be tight and clean but still less detail than other styles… so maybe it’s the novice in me that’s attracted to the simplicity of the style! hehe
hey Wayne… so what kind of bike racing did you do? road, mtb, track, etc??
I do pretty much every discipline…but lately it seems I do mainly road and cross!

Pabs…I used to do mostly road. I road a Bianchi Limited bike back in the 80s for one of the bike shops here. Now just do some riding for excercise on my Diamondback MB.

^^^Well Pabs, I’m 60 years old now so that type of biking is kind of out of the question :-) I actually used to be an avid tennis player…played in many tournaments over the years and that was always my first love. I often played 5 or 6 days a week for 2 or 3 hours. I also was a runner, boxer/karate, hockey player, and now a walker so its kind of nice just to relax and do another love which is woodworking.
