Introduction

Cabinets and storage furniture have been benchmark projects since our forefathers first applied steel to wood. Why? For one, theyre an excellent blend of form and function. The basic boxjust six parts, a few hinges, and a handful of nailseffectively moved nearly everything our ancestors had from one continent to another. Cabinets are also versatile: Whether fixed or portable, built for security or designed for show, storage boxes adapt readily to the purpose.

Of course, its certainly a plus that cabinets are also just plain fun to build. A simple box and doors can welcome you into woodworking, while more sophisticated designs laced with intricate joinery can keep you challenged long after that first project fades from memory.

Cabinet and storage projects continue to appeal to Woodworkers Journal readers, and they always will. Weve had the good fortune to work with some of the best cabinetmakers in the countryRick White, Mike McGlynn, Bruce Kieffer, and Bill Hylton, to name just a few. This new book highlights of their finest projects for you to build.

If youre just getting comfortable with woodworking tools, start with David Larsons barbecue cart, Mike McGlynns toy box, or Rick Whites blanket chest, so you can ensure your success and end up with a charming project when the dust clears.

Maybe youd like to dabble in traditional hand-tool techniques or build an authentic reproduction piece. Several projects here will satisfy that goal. Set your sights on the early American dresser, the jelly cupboard, the Arts and Crafts hutch, the collectors cabinet, or one of Mike McGlynns masterpiecesthe Greene and Greeneinspired dresser or the Ruhlmann cabinet. Theyll present a sporting challenge, to say the least, with heirloom results.

If its storage youre after, youll find some gems. Rick White shares several, including a steamer trunk, an anglers cabinet, and a Scandinavian-style sideboard. You can also make a discreet home for your new flat-screen TV, or you can challenge your routing savvy with Bill Hyltons Eastern Shore chest.

So, grab hold of woodworkings collective torch and embark on some fine cabinetry projects. Youre in excellent hands.

Acknowledgments

Woodworkers Journal recently celebrated its 30th anniversarya benchmark few magazines ever reach. I would like to acknowledge both the 300,000 woodworkers who make up our readership and Rockler Woodworking and Hardware which provided most of the hardware, wood, and other products used to build the projects in this book. Our publishing partner, Fox Chapel, did a terrific job re-presenting our material, and I am especially grateful to Alan Giagnocavo, Gretchen Bacon, John Kelsey, and Troy Thorne for their commitment to our content.

CONTENTS

Heirloom Collectors Cabinet

by Dean Holzman

Set aside a weekend and some clear maple lumber for building this old-fashioned piece. The mullioned door and batten back add authenticity.

Blanket Chest

by Rick White

This charming cherry chest bypasses mortise-and-tenon joints in favor of rabbets and laps, making it easy to build without compromising strength or capacity.

Your Own Steamer Trunk

by Rick White

Youll probably never use this sturdy, handsome trunk for an ocean voyage, but its the perfect accent piece at the foot of the bed for storing winter blankets.

Eastern Shore Chest

by Bill Hylton

Heres the perfect project for expanding your routing skills. It combines cope-and-stick joints with sliding dovetails and raised panels.

Jelly Cupboard Reproduction

by Tim Johnson

To learn furniture design, reproduce an antique. The original of this piece was built entirely with hand tools, so for a real trip back in time, try doing the same.

Anglers Cabinet

by Rick White

If you love to fish, youre sure to have a closet full of fishing gear to contend with. This handsome pine anglers cabinet provides plenty of storage for rods, tackle boxes, and waders.

Early American Dresser

by Stuart Barron

Walk a mile in the shoes of a colonial cabinetmaker, and youll learn a lot about how an heirloom is made. This piece even has a not-so-secret drawer.

Scandinavian-Style Sideboard

by Rick White

A short base and a broad, low cabinet define a sideboard. This one has flush-fit drawers and doors and a beveled top for that Scandinavian flavor.
