Pine TV cabinet

mailee

I got the shelves fitted today and the doors sanded and a coat of varnish on them. I must still be under the influence of the flu bug as I went to buy the hinges and only bought one set! Oh well I shall buy another set tomorrow.

Very nice. Looking good.
Very good picture cause I can see you missed a spot on the bottom shelf with the varnish LOL
Thanks for keeping the progress up to date.
Get well soon.

Well it is almost finished apart from the lower shelf which needs the stain finishing. I cut the holes for the cables in the rear and got the doors fitted along with the handles and catch. I have e-mailed a photo to the customer to see if it is up to his expectations, (I think it will be)

I never knew pine could look so good, did you run the pine through a planner or anything like that? If not where did you get such good looking pine? I am so new that it is all magic to me.

looks great - I think pine is an under rated timber for woodworkers ( especially amateurs such as myself)

Easy, soft grain pattern, easy to work and can be stained to match almost any hardwood

Hi James

You're right on

At one time we had many of the U-finish furniture stores in COLO. almost all the furniture was pine to keep the cost down,,,i.e. 4 drawer cabinet for 45.oo dollars, round kitchen table for 30.oo dollars, chairs for the table 25.oo dollars ea. they where just run of the mill pine but very well made all that was needed was to stain and finish it and it was done.

It has been many years since I have seen one but I'm sure they are still around..
Most of the cabinets didn't have dovetails drawer joints just staples but they look very nice...but most made out pine I do recall buying one because I could not buy the wood for what they where selling the cabinet for...with just a little bit of rework it turned out to be a great cabinet...

Hi James,

Pine is one of my most favorite wood types to work with. The only drawback to pine is, the sap. It's bout the worse there is for gumming up bits and blades. Just gotta keep lots of cleaners handy.

I've seen many Pine give Cedar a good run for the money in looks.

Mailee,

You've done a fine job with that cabinet.

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I didn't run the timber through the planer but just used the table saw and sander to get it somewhere near. I made sure it was square of course but it was just some I had in my stock.
You are dead right Hamlin that the sap is a pain for blades and I am often cleaning my cutters after use. Still it is a cheap wood and to be expected. I am happy with the finish and it was well worth the hard work. What is more important is the customer was very happy with it and has ordered a nest of tables in the same style.
