Great tutorial Sean! Almost make me want to start doing them by hand again....

The box really looks nice Sean! That burl is beautiful. I might have to get some for my next box.

I like the clamping caul you used. I may have to have one of those for myself.

Looks good Sean! Moving on to the second part now. I like to cut my corners to the exact width first, then use a 45 bit in my router table. Different way of doing the same this I guess. It does lose less of the grain between the pieces though.

Very well written Joe. And I applaud you for getting the joints this tight in pine.

Nice work Joe! I like how you mention cleaning up and tool maintenance after a session like this.

Had a lot of fun making it! It's a great community here!
Thanks Guy for the video series. It was absolutely awesome!

Thanks Scott! Everyone makes mistakes, I seem to have made quite a few on this project. I would rather try to fix them rather than completely remake components. Glad you enjoyed the series!
I really enjoyed this series. I especially like seeing the masters make mistakes, as it makes me a little less self conscious about all the mistakes I make. I tend to just put my projects with their numerous mistakes in a dark corner, and hope nobody see them. It's never occurred to me to try to fix them.
Thank you Guy for creating the videos and cabinet, and thank you Sean for hosting it!

Thanks Joe! Glad you enjoyed the series. I hope to one day doing another guild build here on simplecove.com. The nice thing about what Sean has done here is that anyone can post something like this for the entire community. I had a lot of fun doing this!
What a great series this has been. Love your warts and all approach to these videos. Your work and explanations are terrific on why and how you choose what you do. This cabinet is on my short list of projects to complete.
Woodworking has been one "rabbit hole" (or rabbet hole if you prefer) after another. Guy's Woodshop and all his videos haven't been as much of a rabbit hole as a source of learning for me. Look forward to more videos in the future.

Thanks Tony! The paying card wedge is a great trick, and can really help when doing inset door panels especially.
Beautiful work. I have really enjoyed the serious and it's great to see the mistakes and how you fixed them. The playing cards are a great trick. I will use that in the future. Looking forward to the next project.

Hey Joe. No I don't mill lumber. There are a good number of local sawyers here in the Indianapolis area, and I have a friend who lives very close with a pile of about 600 bd ft of air dried ash. Check out craigslist, and see what you can find. That's my go to when I need lumber.
Gorgeous panels for sure. I recently tried that tape trick for glueing panels like that and it worked great.

Thanks Sean! Air dried ash has some magnificent grain patterns and colors. Kinda like the difference between kiln and air dried walnut. And the glue up for the doors I do works really well.
I like having a set of squeeze clamps with a reversible head that can be used as spreaders just for this type of situation. Being able to recover well from a mishap is a sign of great craftsmanship.
Thanks Tim! You know, I always think about things like that after I do something stupid. HaHa. Thanks for the support brother!
Great video Guy! I think you recovered well on the glue up, and with very minimal cursing! Thanks for showing how things really go during a project!
Thanks Donny! Even after 35 years of making stuff like this, glue ups can still give me a fit sometimes. When my wife walks in the shop during one, all I have to say is "Glue Up!" and she turns around and leaves, well runs, out of the shop.
Great episode Guy! I like seeing others processes and how they handle tough parts of builds. You did great! This cabinet is coming together nicely.
Thanks Sean! The glue up wasn't too tough, I just made it that way. HaHa. I see you are building the cabinet too! Awesome! What type of wood(s) are you going to use?

@mountaintopTony said:Hey Steve! Yes sir, it does work good. You just have to dedicate a flat space for an hour or two is the only downside.
