With the end cap attached and in position, we can turn our attention to the dog hole strip. The dog hole strip is glued to the front of the bench and then the longer front laminate strip gets glued to that. The front laminate strip also ties into the end cap with a honkin’ set of dovetails. S...
... This was a real learning project. Many firsts for me: loose mortise and tenons, edge joining wider boards, flush drawers with half-blind and through dovetails, routed inlays, sliding doors, staining poplar, etc. I based the design on David Marks’ tool cabinet (Woodworks #503), but much larg...
