That sofa table I was finally going to build myself got put on the back burner, for about the tenth time in the same number of years, when this small job came in the door:
That's right, NO finishing ... I must be farking dreaming, eh?

It must be tough when a client demands that. You might even have to charge extra for that eh? :)
Sometimes you get lucky :)
Looks good! I have had a few no finish jobs, they "spoil" you. You feel the need to charge 4 times more on the next job that you have to finish. ;~(

Great work, and a favor like that ... Mazel tov!
Nice work. What's the empty space below the "floor" for? Just a "design feature"? And the side panels appear to be milled to accept three horizontal members at the bottom (1 rabbet and 2 dadoes) and one at the top. But I only see three pieces for each unit, presumably a top a bottom and an inside "floor".
Sorry if these are ignorant questi> That sofa table I was finally going to build myself got put on the back
And you don't have to hire a subcontractor or have Leon come over to move them and install them!! Nice.
Spec called for a 4 3/8" bottom rail? ... mine is not to reason why... ;)
No such thing.
Was simply covering both bases, with one dado stack setup, for a last minute decision on whether space for lighting or a solid bottom was in the cards.
:) That's what I'm talking about ...
I like them, massive looking, at least for medicine cabinets.

Must be for old folks. Younguns don't have nearly that much medicine they need to keep in the cabinet. ;)
Yeah, Swingy, nice cabs.

Ready for client to pick up; sanded to 180, but NO finishing :
It's so he can truthfully say to admirers of the construction, that he did the finishing and put it in.

Looks fantastic, Karl! What wood was that again? For this cabinet?

I love maple ... But you knew that.
I love working with it because it mills so nicely, with sharp tools; and when milled is always so clean looking and well defined.
AAMOF, a stack of freshly, properly milled maple looks like it was drawn in a CAD program. ;)
Finishing, except for a clear top coat, is another matter altogether.

I've been doing shellac a few coats, then finishing with pastewax.
Hilarious and true. I had never thought of that before, but you are so right.
