Looking good Chems. How you getting on with the saw?
I really like the idea of the contrasting timber on the drawers.
What are you going to do for handles? (This would be sooo cool with Blum Tip On runners (the ones where you push to open)).
That's a nice looking workshop you've got there mate. Is it a 2 car garage?

Just under 2 car garage.
I did have some good pictures of the saw all cleaned up but they were lost to. I'm astonded at the world of diffrence, its so quite compared to my titan which is funny cause I asked a forum member last year about the noise and they said it was very loud, they obviously were spoilt with all induction tools! Did a little trimming of the drawers on it today the big work area is just such a breath of fresh air. Can't wait to start the next project!
I'm going to make the handles with my inspiration been the ones matthew did for that lovely altar table he did. No chance of blum runners at this point, it was also upset the lovely price tag of £46 for the 2 sheets of pine.

I'm going to have to come round to yours to do my next project.
Just been out to the shed for the first time in two weeks and everything's covered in water! The bloody roof's leaking again.
Anyhow, congrats on a nice looking project.

Nice looking piece of furniture, reminds me of my project I did over five years ago.
I filled up every bit of wall space in our bedroom with cabinets like that made to fit, no catches were fitted to the doors and they still close and stay closed without any hassle, the drawers still fit nicely and did not have any adverse timber movements. The timber came from a skip I had access to, a builder that did loft conversions, sadly he has moved away so source dried up.
So if you have got any space left get cracking, (btw I made the tops with 22mm x 25mm strips of pine laminated to edges and they are still looking good.)

With all the fancy tool purchases you've been making lately, you'd think you would some cash left over to buy a proper camera?? :roll: :wink:
I like the table though. Much nicer than the one showing currently on the New Yankee Workshop site!

Interesting combination of timbers......I look forward to seeing how it looks when complete. My only comment design-wise is that without much of a plinth/ kick-board, it leaves the bottom drawer sitting visually virtually on the floor.
Could we have some bigger pictures of the finished thing, please?

Re the camera, whats wrong with mine!
I needed to get 4 drawers out of it, only time will tell with the kick and scuff hopefully it will be ok.
Mike, you can click for larger? I'll get some good ones when its done.

You can make your images bigger by putting in the IMG code on photobucket instead of the HTML code. Hope that makes sense.

Interesting timber choices, will be good to see it finished.
Out of interest, why do you have 2 tablesaws, was a new one inroduced part way through the build?

I think the finished unit looks great; I just can't decide about the dowels on the handles... But, at least you did it on all of them and saved your fingers! :wink:
Thanks again for the large pictures. That staining on the pine seems to have come out alright. What's next, then?
