Hanging Tool Cabinet (with WIPS - long)

Making the doors is going to be a problem :roll:

The problem you may well encounter now is that the top and bottom will have permantly set into a curve, if there's glue in the joints in the pic - Rob

The cabinet now has a back fitted and hangs on the wall using a french cleat. I'll post some pictures at the w/e. But now I need some advice for the next stage of this project.

I want to make my doors using the idea from Ian Dalziel's tool cabinet

I like this look created by dropping a frame and panel door front into the sides of of an open box.

The sides of the box will be mitred and biscuited (I rejected the secret mitred dovetail option :shock: )

The long edges of all the box components need to mitred, as does the outside of the assembled frame and panel front. It should be clear from these exploded views

So my problem is how to put an accurate mitre on the long edge of these components. I have NO tablesaw. I do have a small bandsaw and a cheap router - which scares me to death every time I fire it up. I'm reasonably proficient with a handplane.

How would you tackle this? As always all input gratefully received.

Phil,
Instead of a donkey's ear, I made this - a copy of a shooting board by Robert Wearing.

There's a plan of sorts for that type at the Shooting Gallery - click on the thumbnail of Chris's (I did ask permish for that didn't I, Chris? Pretty certain I did, but...)

Cheers, Alf

Alf,
Yes, you are fully legal :wink:

Bob Wearing also featured his original design in one of his books, "The Resourceful Woodworker", published by Batsford, ISBN 0-7134-6485-2

Cheers :wink:

Alf, Chris, Paul - thanks for that ifo. I should have thought to search Alf's site - I know it's an Alladin's cave.

I wonder if I can make that work for a 1 metre board. :-k Looks as though it could be a great excuse...... sorry reason, to buy an LN #9 :lol:

Paul, it also appeared in F&C but somewhat to my surprise I came across it in The Woodworker earlier still - by someone else. Suffice to say it was Bob Wearing that made it better known.

Cheers, Alf

That's interesting - but, as we often find, nothing's new. Another advantage with Bob's jig is that (again, as he shows in his book) you can use a router with it to cut slots for loose tongues along the mitre.

Cheers :wink:
