278290 Phil E. <pedgerton66@g...> 2024‑03‑08 project finished
Greetings Galoots,

I've been a fan of James Krenov's work for a while now and I decided to
attempt one of his small wall cabinet designs. It's made with a
mineral-stained poplar door and carcase of pine with walnut top and bottom.
Inside there is a bank of small drawers with varied kinds of wood for
fronts. There's also a shelf.

I enjoyed building it, but had my usual challenges of changing things in
the middle of the building process and thus making more fiddling for
myself. One of my main necessarily developed skills is also how to
fix screw-ups. No wonder projects take me so long to complete.

One of my confusions with Krenov is, "What are his cabinets FOR?" They are
beautiful but what in the world do folks possess to need cabinets like
this? Damned if I know. I just made one anyway. (Link to pics below--it
really did happen. Ha!)

Best to all Galoots,

Phil  E.
