Keep up good work!

Great project! I wish you had a closeup of the doors, whats in the corners of the rails & stiles? Are those pegged?

I think you missed a golden opportunity though…”Honey, I can build an entire set of kitchen cabinets, but I’m going to need to buy a $1300 drum sander, but we’ll still save thousands over the cost of buying them…” ;-) (Of course you did mention that you liked the mill marks.)

These are nice looking cabinets. I like both the style of cabinetry you built and the wood you chose. Although I am guessing, if your wife is anything like mine, I suspect ultimately the wood choice was her decision. :)

Nice job on the cabinetry. Pictures of the rest of the kitchen will be nice to see.

Good looking cabinets. I really like the style. Nice clean lines. Great job.

Hooky, after your comment I looked around this site to see if that program had been mentioned; I only found it buried in a couple posts. So I just wrote a review.

It’s called CutList Plus, and it’s amazing. I had around 100 stiles and rails for my kitchen, and I was able to print labels out that I affixed as I cut each piece. I added the “S” or “R” afterwards in marker so that it was easier to see when I made the joinery.

I used a removable label from Avery, and they peeled right up.

Craig, they are not pegged. Just glued and pinned from the back. The ebony buttons are just decorative.

I would have preferred to just glue and clamp each piece, but with the baby on the way and a limited set of clamps for a project this size, I went with some quicker methods.

Thank you all for your kind words!

Great Lookin Job

Very nice, you gotta love the cherry. I like the buttons, nice touch.

I use cabinet planner software which just makes everything easier, cut lists and diagrams for panel cutting. like your program, printing out the parts labels keeps the parts in order.
