Been on a vacation from woodworking...last one was a LOT of work. Daughter looked at the new cabinet, and hinted she would like one for her place.... One thing, though....she WILL paint things... Sooo....thinking of building a "Paint-grade" one out of Pine......with a couple changes. She also wanted a "Dresser" so maybe instead of the large door in the base cabinet...maybe a few more drawers ( to hold "drawers"?) instead of shelves? About another week or so..I can go over to Menard's, and sort through the 1x pine boards....might take all afternoon....and come home with the supplies needed...will have to buy a 1/4" sheet of Luann...for backs and bottoms....Trying to figure out the sizes of the 1xs....1x6s? 1x8s? Couple of 1 x10s? ( for the bookcase) Lengths? Last project used up about 45 bf of Ash.... Just a start-up.....Single Brain Cell Sketch Up is working on the "details" might take all of next week....moving at the speed of smell? Will post updates, as they happen...

Ok, Chester Drawers is done ( when I get better lighting, I post as Project) so, what is next...? "Scrap Stack" of Cherry. Not much to look at? Decided to plane a few faces, to see what I have.. Made a mess on the bench (again..) but this time it is with that Stanley No. 4 I had just rehabbed.....was making some see-through shavings, too.. Yes, that $8 plane made that. Some of the faces looked very good.. Nice grain? One board may cause a bit of trouble.. Ya think? Plan right now, is to re-saw the best sides off at around 1/2" to 3/8" thick. Then see about building a fancy-schmanzy box? Hope that Boris doesn't steal my Plans.... Might have enough Black Walnut to make a matching box? Have a bit of thin Poplar for the bottoms.. According to Charles Neil, this is supposed to be Flame Cherry....might be a decent project? Stay tuned...
