Making a Walnut Display Cabinet with an Inset Door
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- This cabinet was made to hold and display my wife's pharmacy collectibles. Most of it is made of walnut along with some white oak and curly maple details. The dimensions are about 32" x 18" x 10". The finish is Rubio Monocoat Oil + 2C Pure. The curved glass detail was probably the most difficult aspect of the build but very rewarding once it was completed. Thanks for watching!

As always. Most marvelous design and build. I really enjoy your build videos. Please keep'em coming
Awesome build as always! Also I really appreciate you adding the oopsies and issues with the glass. Thanks for being real.
Another Beautiful piece. A trick I learned was to put a small amount of 3 in 1 oil in the groove from the glass cutter and a really small brad nail under the spot where you push down on either side. Leaving the glass on the bench.
I love it, it's a beautiful cabinet!
Thanks Jolien!
I like the trim around the door!
Thanks David!
Looks nice. I like the trim
Beautiful and inspirational
I always enjoy your videos... thanks for sharing.
I was feeling for you on the glass troubles. Woodworking is so much trial and error and it is good to see that you highlighted the problems you had to show everyone that it is not always sunshine and rainbows. Great job.
Beautiful as always! Really love the subtle repeating grain on the glued-up side panels.
Thanks Blake! I kept those pieces in sequence!
Beautiful piece!
That’s beautiful~
You did an great job on this buildJohn! 👍🏻 When you were cutting the glass I was holding my breath! 😀 I’ve never tried cutting glass before! Thank you sharing!
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , un gabinete magnífico , su esposa tiene que estar muy contenta , hay que ser muy fino para cortar el cristal con ésa figura , gracias por compartir tanta creatividad y conocimientos , no habló inglés , me quedó con lo que veo , por favor subtítulos en español , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia (España) 🤓😜
Stunning.
I have zero ability in carpentry (not allowed power tools) but you make things look so simple. That in itself is an art and why I will always watch you. Oh and when the Boss wants something - it's done.
Thanks a lot Brian!
Outstanding,,beautiful cabinet for the wife's collection.
Thank you!
Pretty beautiful work, John! It looks amazing! 😃
About the glass, next time try to cut it in parts, trying to make straighter cuts always it's possible. 😊
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
BTW, sorry I couldn't watch the video before... I wasn't feeling well the last couple of days.
Awesome job.
I love that the Guy Who Builds Apothecary Cabinets is married to…an apothecary. ❤️
Nice work, sir!
Haha thanks! She actually pretty much designed the first big apothecary cabinet I made!
That's a beautiful piece. The finish is lovely.
beautiful!
Looks great, love this build!
Looks beautiful! Great work.
Another fantastic project and video.
Great work. Great design elements.
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much!
Amazing 👏
Very Nice!
very honesty work big bro🦅
Maestro...bravo!
Great build John! I. Love watching you push yourself with each new project!!
Thanks a lot Ryder!!
Beautiful cabinet!
Thank you!
About the glass, drill a small hole at the point and then score and break.
Beautiful cabinet as always! I love the contrast of the white oak and walnut. You have more patience than I do dealing with the glass. I cracked a panel twice when I was making a knife display box for a client, then gave up and got acrylic haha. Also, I bought the M12 screwdriver just for things like installing hinges and drawer slides. It has been the perfect tool for that and so much more! You can usually pick them up pretty cheap for the tool only version. Thanks for the video! - Joe
Thanks Joe! I went through 4 panels for this piece but luckily was able to get a few "fails" from each panel. I'll have to give that screwdriver a look. The issue was that the bit couldn't even get into the screw head; there was excess metal or something. Anyway, I love my M12 gear. I just got the new M12 pin nailer which is what I used to secure the trim. Great little tool!
Nice!
First of all, I must say that you did an awesome work.
Once I had to cut the pattern from the glass, pretty much similar to yours. So I've remembered the tip for car owners: if you got a crack in your windshield and don't want the crack to grow - just drill a tiniest hole at the end of the crack to prevent growing it.
So I reverted the intention and drilled the hole right on the pick of a pattern, then carefully sled cutter from the hole (i.e., from the center) to the wings (sides). Succeeded on 2nd trial.
Hope it'll help you to deal with the future glass details.
Thanks for the video!
Thank you! That's an interesting tip. I'll keep that in mind next time!
Drilling is a great suggestion if you can keep from cracking during that process. But, why didn't you try cutting out smaller sections (relief cuts) the way people do with resaw band saw blades when they want to make curves and don't want to change blades?
You know, one of the videos I watched did suffer relief cuts. I guess I got too impatient and forgot about it. But that would’ve been a helpful strategy.
@@kevin_delgado There's nothing complicated with the glass drilling: just plain surface, nice carbide drill bit and patience for medium speed. Your main activity during process is to control the pressure against glass and regularly put a drop of water to the drilling place.
But smaller sections' technique will work as well, you're right.
Esse projeto ficou incrível! Parabéns! Com certeza a habilidade e conhecimento para fazer um projeto desse fez toda a diferença.
Thanks so much!
Hey man, solid build! Just found the channel, always exciting to find another builder making videos here on the tube! Looking forward to more content!
Great to see the project as a whole. The pieces looked amazing on Instagram and the cabinet looks even better. As usual, great job man!
Thanks Roland! I really appreciate it!
Wow genial Top
very nice piece of furniture. for the future, would be interesting to see details such as installing the back (shiplap?) or what solution you used to stop the door (magnetic latch?)
these are very interesting point for fellow woodworkers (I know they are not particularly attractive for general viewers), cheers from Italy 👍👍
Thanks! Ya sorry about that. I usually either don't film it or just cut it out for time. In this particular project, I routed a rabbet in the back and nailed in a 1/4" piece of walnut veneered plywood. The rabbet is deep enough that I can also fit a French cleat so the cabinet can be hung on a wall. As for the door stop, I didn't put one in yet. But will most likely use a couple of magnets. I'll try to delve into those details on a future build. Thanks again!
@@parillaworks thanks mate. no need at all to apologize and please, don't get me wrong, it was not a critique, just a suggestion for some next video. I know that putting these details in ALL the videos can be wasted time as it is only interest for a small part of the audience. once again, amazing job
@parillaworks May I give you some advice for cutting that glass next time. Don't try to cut a long curve like that all at once. Instead score it the way you did BUT also add a "relief" cut going up the middle of the waste piece that would be perpendicular to your cut. Then when you try to snap it, your snap two small pieces. Instead of one big one. I hope that sounds clear.
Thanks Cory. That definitely sounds like a good approach. I considered making multiple curves cuts in a parallel fashion, progressively moving closer to my actual line. I think I got a little stubborn and kept trying to go for it all at once. Got lucky!
That is one nice cabinet! And a thorough explanation about the glass debacle :D
I have noticed that you use both the domino and dowels. In what instances do you prefer using dowels over dominos?
Cheers.
Thanks! This was just the second project I used the new domino on. Since I have the XL, it’s a little unwieldy for smaller applications, which is when I’ll use the Dowelmax. I’m more comfortable with the dowels for now and they work really well. I’ve been pleased so dee mixing the two up when needed.
@@parillaworks Thanks :D
Very nice project and fantastic video as usual! You inspire me to step out of my comfort zone. Regarding dulling router bits, have you had experience with professional sharpening? Curious if A) the bit remains the same factory size or B) it's cost prohibitive or C) it even works.
Hi! I’ve never had my router bits sharpened. I’m not sure it would be worth the cost. Maybe if I get one of those mega flush trim bits one day. I’m also not sure about the diameter changing, I would imagine material being removed for sharpening would slightly effect the size. But not sure how noticeable it would be.
It turned out amazing! Do you have a link to those drawer pulls? They are perfect size for a project I’m working on .

There’s a few different sizes. I used the 3/8” for the drawers and I believe the 5/8” for the door.
@@parillaworks THank you!!!
This is a great piece~! I'm a huge fan of your work. Just a question for you (and not a jab): You have the case side's ends set inside the top and bottom. I often see in case work where the the top and bottom are between the sides to hide the end grain, as you've done in other projects. Was that a design choice for this piece, some other reason (structural, etc...), or just the way you decided to do it? This is all for my own learning.
Thanks much~!
Thanks Andrew! Great question! I generally prefer the sides to be within the top and bottom like this piece but there are times I'll go the other way around. It all depends on what direction my main inner dividers are running. In this piece, the middle divider is going vertical, so I would prefer to have it be the same length as the sides so that I can cut them all at once. On the flip side, the big oak coffee table I made last year is similar in that the divider is horizontal so I had the sides surround the top and bottom. Hope that makes sense.
@@parillaworks Yep, that makes perfect sense. Basically comes down to a project-based, "dealer's choice" decision. Thanks so much for elaborating. Looking forward to your next project~!
As a new wood worker, one thing I'm struggling with is, when to account for wood movement. Some people say it's a huge issue and others, not so much. So in this case, your drawer sides fit really snuggly, and if the wood were to expand, then it would certainly be an issue (I think). However, you don't seem concerned with it at all. I don't know how to tell if I should care of not. It's a little frustrating for a beginner. As always, this is a beautiful piece. Well done.
Hey Joshua, thanks for watching! I totally get where you're coming from. You're on the right track and totally correct about the drawers. In this case, I am building everything in the super humid south Florida heat in the middle of summer. Any further wood movement SHOULD be contraction rather than expansion whether that be due to the piece being put indoors in a climate controlled environment or the simple fact that the humidity will never be higher than it is right now, at least where I am. If I were building this in January, I would probably leave a little more room on those drawers.
@@parillaworks totally understand where you're coming from. I'm in North Florida (the Panhandle) so I get the humidity thing. It's 90 degrees and 100% humidity here today. I guess I didn't really consider the time of year, temperature, and humidity level at the time of the build. That definitely helps clear it up a bit. Thanks!
Well that explains the apothecary fascination you've shown! Great piece - but the glass .... I'd have probably squared off the interior dado and covered it with that maple... because if it cracks now ... (mumble mumble ...)
Ha thanks Clyde. I'm pretty confident this piece doesn't have any micro cracks but I guess like any glass panel, it could break eventually. Luckily, the trim is only held in place with a few pin nails so I should be able to pry things open if need be.
why didn't you try to cut the glass in 2 parts?
Wouldn't it be easier to just have a groove along the top and bottom panels with a rectangular piece of glass to slide in between, then gluing it together?
Edit: I mean there are the dowel holes in the pieces (3:53), but I think there might just be enough room to cut the groove here before taking it to the band saw.
It would definitely be easier. But I preferred the look of the curved glass covered by curved trim. The rectangular glass was Plan B though.
@@parillaworks How much of the curved glass is visible in the end after adding the trim?
Oh, I guess I didn't word it properly. I didn't mean to drop the trim, but to change the need for the curved glass.
Why not just straight across the top with glass, creating relief at top of frame? Can't tell from outside. Looks a helluva lot cheaper than 6 panes wasted.
Just a matter of liking the curved look better than the straight. In the end, I wasted about $30 in glass in exchange for figuring this out; not bad in my opinion.
@@parillaworks what I meant was that if you cut the glass straight and cut the top curved and route out a relief in the back you cant tell from outside...
Next time, leave the glass square and make a square rebate on the back and still do the curve on the front. Just a little more chisel work. You know what i mean?
Ya that was the second option but I really wanted the curves to be seen on the inside as well.
@@parillaworks Yep. So make the moulding go all the way to the rabbet and then all the way down to the curve. There is always a way. I was just cringing watching you break all of that glass lol
That tiny square you used to layout the hardware..... I want one, where did you get it?
It’s from Lee Valley, nifty little tool.
Those cuts that are visible from your cutter, bug me so much. :/ I would not buy this product for this reason.
Great project (as usual)....but it's not an apothecary. What happened? Did something happen? Are you alright? You're not sick are you? OMG, is it terminal? Please tell us it's not terminal. You're too young for this! Nooooooooo..........
Hahaha funny enough, my wife doesn't really have much use for the drawers but I had to include them to get this thing somewhat close to my apothecary work!
Eight ads eleven minutes in… this was a crappy video to watch! Totally took away from your video in its entirety and was incredibly frustrating.
Looks nice. I like the trim
