As all the Andy's have started posting their WIP's for the competion I thought I should get a move on.

The wood for this project is cherry and it's going to be a cabinet for my downstairs cloakroom.

Measurements are approximately 35" x 33" x 10", i will incorporate two drawers with handcut dovetails with cupboard below.

Where does the curve come in I hear you say, well the top will have a slight curve on the front, I just hope this meets the judges interpretation of a curve.

The pic below is the selection of rough sawn stock that I have chosen.

Now its cut I can put it through the trusty PT and take it from 1" to 3/4"

Now down to thickness size.

A little tickle is called for here to get the sides parallel, out with the new Veritas LA BU Jointer with the fence and in no time all nicely done.

I have to say the LV LA BU Jointer is a work of art, so far got to be my best buy of 2006

That's enough for now, will continue tomorrow. seems to be a focus thing with me today, next ones will be better.

Waka,
were you using the flash on your camera? Looks more like camera shake than poor focus.

Good to see you starting your project (as well as the gratutious gloatage :twisted: ).
On the photo side, a cheap tripod (from somewhere like Argos) makes a huge difference to your photo's. It hold it steady so you don't have to use the flash, giving sharp, naturally coloured photo's. I have a spare one if you want to give it a try?
Cheers
Philly :D
