Some More Slow Progress

I had some trouble getting momentum back after Christmas break, but I am reaching the point where the finished piece doesn't seem too far off. After a few days of planing and flattening the back-panel it was glued in and work began on the frames for the glass doors.

Cutting the rabbet on the shaper, I didn't set up stops to prevent going all the way through the ends of the styles, thought I'd be careful enough not to need them. A one-second daydream later, I had some patching to do.

Frame members fixed and ready for glue.

Poor unfinished cabinet collecting dust and feeling neglected.

Taking the glass shelves for a test run, realized that my measurements were a little off and I will have to reorder them. This time I will use templates to be sure that they will fit as the cabinet is more out of square than I thought. The glass cutter did such a beautiful job on the edges, will have to find another use for them.

Junior (a classmate) was working on a new counter for the Gumboot Cafe that is next to the school. He asked me to do a boot in marquetry to compliment the parquetry he did with Maple veneers. The boot was done in Rosewood and the Edges in Walnut. The counter top looks great in place but I think they will have to do something with the rest of the counter to do it some justice.

Does anybody else find formatting posts in blogger crazy frustrating? Just me?
