For some time I've been working through the oak left over from the kitchen installation people. I build this chest of drawers a few weeks ago, and today I put this neat little cupboard/cabinet together. It's around 55x50x40 and it's meant to hide all the ugly cables under the desk.
I've always used danish oil, but today I tried my luck with Osmo's graphite and I like how it turned out.
I added some small rubber wheels to it and it's rolling nicely.
I am very new to wood working and it was my first time trying to install a hinge, and this was way harder than I thought it would be. I went for these ones from Hafele - and while I haven't got a lot of experience, I do not think I'd recommend them to anyone else.
Also, the door is basically made of two x 5cm wide boards with a bunch of sticks inserted to them. I do not have a proper routing table or a dado stack for the table saw, so this was absolutely super duper hard. I ended up numbering each and every inset to match them with single cut sticks. And even then I got most of them wrong.
On that note, I am using a 12 year old SIP 10' table saw from Ebay. I love it, but does anyone here know if it's possible to fit a dado stack to it? It's not, right?
All in all I am happy with it though, and I learned a lot from this project.
I have two long planks of wood left, I think my next project will be a daybed.
EDIT: I just did a search here for the dado stack point above, and it seems there are plenty of discussions on the subject
