This is a tool cabinet I made to sit across from my Sliding Table Saw/Shaper. I used local milled butternut for the cabinet and resawed the butternut in 9” wide pieces at full length and veneered to a 1/4” plywood back board. I had to glue one veneer strip at a time to insure the glue adhered through out the entire strip. It has 9 drawers. I veneered the faces of the drawers with some especialy figured cherry veneer I cut for this project. I am planing to turn some knobs using cherry with ebony laminated in the center. I don’t know how well that will turn out. Comments on this subject would be appriciated.
I threw in a picture of the machine room of my basement shop just for fun.
I hope you enjoy looking as I do making.

That is a good looking cabinet Kip. Looks like you have a very nice set up for your shop and some nice equipment.

Hi Kip,
Your cabinet is a wonderful project. It has both form and function- a concept that I am beginning to embrace. I appreciate the shot of your shop as well. That is a nice work area. Seeing other workspaces is a nice perk of being involved with this site.
Thanks for the opportunity to visit your workspace.

I’m not sure I like how well organized you are… it’s throwing a really bad light on my shop…
I love the butternut! My best friend has used butternut for decoy carving, burning the feathers (he has a lot more patience than I do) so it has a special spot in my heart. Very cool!

Hi Kip,
I’m embarrassed after seeing your superb shop ! Thanks for the comment, you have gotten me motivated to get out and do some work. It’s winter here now and at night the temperature plummets to 59 degree fahrenheit which is much too cold for working.
