Technically, this project is not 100% done. No hardware on cabinet door, since I originally was going to use brass. But, decided against cherry for this, and changed to curly maple and purpleheart accent. Now I'm really more inclined to go satin nickel.


Deal ... or No Deal? (Sorry, family is watching Howie, but I'm at my limit on game shows)



By the way, this is a wall hung corner cabinet, and except for door, almost every piece of wood is mitered, beveled, angular, etc. Perhaps the most difficult thing I've ever done. I'm ready for a simple project!

It looks fantastic! Nice job on the joinery. Fine craftsmanship displayed here. I like the satin finish idea as well.

Very clean Lee you did a fine job on this one

I made one like yours for the bathroom but I painted it white and it worked out great in the corner where the floor space is tight like most bathrooms,the hard part was hanging in on the wall so I used the 45 deg.wedge way,drop and hang .
It hangs over the john in the corner.

Thanks for the compliments. It looks a little more stark next to the concrete wall, and has me even more inclined to go with satin nickel hardware -- brass just seems too traditional, and this really looks a lot more contemporary than I thought it would.

Well worth the effort Lee. I have never seen a wall hung corner cabinet like this one. Is this your own design or from commercial plans? I think your choice of purpleheart really sets this project off. I agree on the 26D finish for the hardware.

Lee,

Very elegant and clean piece!

Nice job!

I always try to make my own pulls, etc.
... in this case, I'd use Purpleheart & play with what looks nice.

Thanks for sharing...

Beautiful job Lee,
The nickel sounds good or as Joe said maybe make your own pulls. That way you can say it's all yours.

Mike,

I'd like to claim this one as my own -- I was very impressed with the design when I saw it. It is from Woodsmith, Vol. 22, No. 128 (April 2000).

My oldest daughter got married last summer, and asked me if I would build a "simple" china cabinet for her very small kitchen/eating area. She really had little floor space, and when I saw this hanging corner cabinet, it was perfect!

Well, it has been fun, but definitely more work than I expected. But the plans are fantastic, and I ordered Shop Notes after I saw this (not sure of Woodsmith is still the same type of magazine). I found this one in an old woodworking store with lots of great old plans, many of which were covered with lots of dust!
