I completed the prototype drawer front and she liked it so I managed to get 10 of the smaller ones made. There are 27 of the small ones and then five larger ones. She wanted a flush pull that was routered in.

That's a neat idea!

I like them because they are very simple and quick to do and she likes the look. They are especially nice with a contrasting wood behind them as in this case with the maple drawer behind the mahogany front.

Today was just a lot of sanding getting the small drawer fronts done and the first coat on. 
Paul

That's a lot of drawer fronts! 

Finished off the last four larger drawer fronts and milled and glued up all the panels for the rest of the project. I will hopefully have this project wrapped up over the long weekend.

I'll be hanging around Paul

Good day in the shop. All the drawer fronts are on, counter top on and additional cabinet about 70% done. 
Paul

Huge improvement Paul!  Thanks for taking us along

The last cabinet is assembled and now it’s just install it and add the upper shelf. 
Paul

Another project done. I need to hang a new light fixture but the woodworking is complete.

Geez!  Putting that closet together reminds me of one of those wooden square puzzles, where you have to slide and lever and push the slats in the correct order to assemble.

WOW  

Excellent design and execution for the space Paul. I'd have to take out a mortgage to stock that one.

Very well done. Thanks for sharing the journey with us. What's up next? Maybe a week on the water to celebrate.

This weekend we do our annual journey to Petco Park to watch the Padre-Dodger series. We leave this morning. Thanks for all the kind words. This is her third iteration of a pantry design like this so she has it pretty honed down to what she wants. Right down to the inset drawer handles.

What can I say?  I look at the work you've done in your home and am in awe. Your designs and craftsmanship is amazing.

Today was making a paper towel roll dispenser. They go on the very top shelf and are always falling down on her so she wanted a dispenser of sorts. This is what I came up with. I decided to do all the jointery using the Shaper Origin. Looks like it will work.

That is a super pantry Paul, beautiful and functional
