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.
