Well Ol’ Norm didn’t tell me, while he was building this cabinet out of pine on TV-that if I chose to build it out of White Oak instead-that I would also have to build a base to sit it on! Oh well such are the surprises that one encounters while following some one elses plans. Nothing in real project is as white or yellow as it is in these photos. Photographer shot under atrocious lighting conditions and was constrained due to location to correct the problem. Finish is Minwax Golden Yellow Oak stain and Polyurethane semi-gloss varnish. Accent squares in base are Jatoba that were formed with little pointed four side faces using the Worksharp-that thing sharpens eveything!

Nice project. I especially like the details on the base.

Woodbutcher,
This cd case and stand are beautiful. You did a good job on the construction and the finish. The brazillian cherry accents add a nice detail to the stand.
You made good use of your WorkSharp as well.
Thanks for the post.

Great job on this cabinet. I think the base gives it a more meaningful look. The finish looks quite nice as well.

A nice looking cabinet. Where did you get the hardware? I really like it. It adds a nice touch.

Beautiful cabinet. Reminds me of one of those old fashioned card catalogs at the library.

That is really nice. Good job with the base. I like the accents and the uplift on the aprons. Sometimes the little things really add to it.

Ty Jocks &Jockettes All,
I want to thank each one of you for taking the time to view my project and the comments you’ve added, which are most appreciated. I feel you’ve been most gracious and somebody, better quit holding back! I do appreciate constructive criticism as well.
I’ll try and answer the specific questions now-jockmike2-I do have someone to pass it on too,maybe too many! So when I’m gone let the fights begin-LOL-i.e. several children and step-children-with not a one holding more esteem than the other in my heart! CharlieM1958, I relate it to those old library catalog systems with the dewey decimal system inside as well. My step-daughter thought it was an Apothecary cabinet? liteweightladyleftie-I found the hardware at Lee Valley. It was about a 1/3 the price that Rockler wanted for the hardware that Norm used on his TV show. grovemadman-each drawer will hold 60 slimline cased CD’s x 6 drawers for a total of 360 Cd’s!
Your time and efforts is again most appreciated, as I know that is valuable time that you’ve taken away from your own projects. Wishing you all the best results with anything you’re working on! Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Ken,
Thanks for the info on the hardware. I’ve bookmarked it on Lee Valley’s site, but chances are I won’t be able to afford to use it on the cabinet I designed for the shop. It has 40 drawers! I’ll probably need to stick with the cheap stuff I have. They surely do look nice on your cabinet!
Thanks again.
