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

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!
Mike,Mike said: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.
Joe - thanks for the idea of purpleheart pull, or knob -- great idea!Joe Lyddon said: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...

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.

That's called a French cleat. An excellent way to hang cabinets and peg board etcl along your shop walls so you can rearrange. That is how I recently hung my shop cabinets.lrr said:Bob,
Thanks for the compliments.
Yes, this one uses the wedge with 45 degree cut -- a really simple, and sturdy way to hang it. I'd like to have one for our house, but I'm not quite ready to build another one ...

Not my shop but here is what it looks like Harry. One half gets attached to the cabinet and one half gets attached to the wall. It then just sits on the one half of the cleat attached to the wall.harrysin said:Gentlemen, French cleat.............please explain.Harry
ps: The corner cabinet makes me determined to improve my skills.

I extended the sides so they could go against the wall (to hold it away from it)... Diagram attached...bobj3 said:Just to add a small note to Joe's post.
If you cut the Nail board on the back of the cabinet it will fit flush with the wall when you hang it.
Like most/some I put in a slot in to hold the plywood in place on the back of the cabinet but I cut the 45 deg. on the same board but only part of it,about foot long of so.
The router table can do this job quick and easy,drop it and do a 45 deg. slot.
90° V-Groove,45° chamfers or a 45° angle for an accurate mitre
