Hello #woodworking friends! 👋 I’m starting a new project this week. It’s a year behind schedule but oh well!
One year ago I made a half size cabinet as practice for a full size version: https://hachyderm.io/@jamigibbs/113755160063860236
With the next week off of work, I thought it would be a good time to get the full size started. This one will definitely take a while though.

I’ve been accumulating walnut boards all year and I have just enough to get started on the case.
I will still need to buy enough for the cabinet doors, drawer, and back. This thing is going to be really big and heavy. 😮💨

I leaned pretty heavily on a planer sled to establish a face side for all of them this time. I had two boards flat enough to run straight through the planer but all the others all needed shimming of some kind.
This was the worst of them (it’s a really pretty board though!)
16 boards took me most of the day using this method. Maybe I should have just done it with hand tools like I used to. 😂

The temps went from 50 F yesterday down to the teens today so it was chilly running the thickness planer in the garage. 🥶
But since I already had the face side work done, it didn’t take nearly as long as yesterday.
Except for a few bandsaw rips, this will be the last of the power tools for the build.
Tomorrow is edge jointing and hopefully I can get started on gluing up the panels! Exciting!

And my little helper today. Lucy has a keen eye for matching boards to panel sections.

Goodbye loud machines and hello to the zen state of hand plans.
It’s edge jointing day! Probably the first of many. I haven’t jointed by hand in over a year so kind of proud to see I still got it.
I was going to joint and glue-up each panel section one-by-one but I think I might do all the boards first and then have one big glue-up. Maybe that will cut down on warping if panels are sitting around for a long time?
Either way, I’m very slow. It’ll be a miracle if I finish this in 2026.
Pictured is the bottom panel of the carcas which is all I was able to get done today.

Hopefully this will be the last photo of “stacked wood” but the significance of this one is that I finally finished dimensioning and jointing all the case boards. 🎉
I’ve logged about 25 hours this week so that’s about 1.5 hrs per board. These fuckers are straight and true though.
Aiming for a glue-up this weekend.

That’s a wrap for this week. Work is starting back up tomorrow so things will be much slower now.
My goal was to get the case sections ready for joinery (thickness, dimension, joint, edge glue) and I’m close. I have one more panel that needs final flattening otherwise I’m calling the week a #woodworking success (not without a lot of aches and pains along the way though 🤪).

@recursive where do I sign?

I somehow gained a bunch of new followers today, for which I am grateful. Welcome to my silliness.
I hope to not bore too many of y’all with my insensible dreck, but no guarantees.
Please be good to one another; kindness seems to be a rare thing lately, and we need all of it we can get.
Note: punching nazis is a kindness to the world in the long run.
