I am truly impressed with this project. You have the right to be very proud of the job.

This is a beautiful kitchen. I am sure that the novelty and excitement over the construction of the raised panels and drawers wore off rather quickly with this many to do. But you did an excellent job on the cabinets,

Well done!!!!

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I really get enthused looking at nice kitchen cabinets—especially since we have been working on our kitchen for nearly three years now. That was a massive amount of cabinets and they are absolutely stunning! Is that a remodel in a stately old home, or is it a new home built in a Victorian style? I’m sure the owners were delighted with the final results.

Beautiful job! The homeowners must be thrilled with the work you did on this.

Thanks for showing it.

Great looking job! That Santos Mahogany is some hard wood! Usually used for flooring.

Did you wear out many tools on it?

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

A wonderful kitchen! Your attention to detail shows.

Thanks for the comments. The homeowners were pleased and very pleased that it is DONE. They were living in the house while I was completing the task. They were basically “homeless” when their house sold, and we all bucked up and got the house able to be “camped out” in. Cabinet boxes with no drawers or door or even shelves. Plywood for cabinet tops. No kitchen sink, no oven, no cook top. It was hard to drive 9 miles to measure something or install a couple of drawers and drive 9 miles back. The Santos mahogany is what I call the “devil’s own wood”. It is hard but with that hard of a wood, it doesn’t take really sharp planer blades to cut it. I don’t know. I had trouble with the wild grain, stresses in the lumber when I ripped it, and having to do most of my routing as climb cuts. Yes, it is used for flooring and the floors in this house are of the same species. I hope next time is see this stuff it is in flooring form but I was very pleased with the outcome and I learned A LOT!!! I learned how to make raised panel doors in mass form; learned how to keep lumber stable while the processes were being completed; and got to know my Kreg jigs in an intimate way. (We’re in love, you know :-) ) I do enjoy working with the Kreg. I used it through out the process.

Wonderful job. Looks beautiful.

Yes, Matt Garcia, those are croissants. Big, fluffy croissants. The homeowner took these photos right before his mother’s birthday party. I think some of the wipe-on poly was still damp.

-- Makin' Sawdust!!!

Wow, this is your first kitchen…. I can only imagine what your work will look like once you get some practice lol! Great work.
