I like it!

 

me too...

 

Very nice Dave , thanks for sharing

 

Make that another like for me.

 

My wife and I both love it. I remember my mom griding meat with one of those doodads.

 

Very nice work. Curious about the door, did you punch it? I just got done with my first attempt at tin punching.

 

Thank You for all your comments guys, I appreciate it. I have made several cabinets now, some small and others quite large, pie safe, etc. The thing is though I'm still using pocket screws......I'm going to force myself to try and learn some proper joinery. I'd also like to try putting a drawer in something, and make a mortise, and route something with a template.....and......




Hello fire, I took the easy way out with the pierced tin and bought it online.

 

Very nice workmanship: the color, hardware choice, design and size, and the pierced tin panel complement each other.

Do not feel uncomfortable or less craftsman-like using pocket screws or a ‘store bought’ tin plate -- it’s the finished product that counts. Sometimes I think we tend to over engineer or get caught up in “that’s not the way the old timers would do it” thinking.

The pierced tin reminds me of some of the older buildings with tin ceilings when I was growing up. Wonder what those ceilings would be worth today???

Again, nice work and choice of materials.

 

"Do-dad?". Now there's a term I haven't heard in a long, long time. :surprise::grin::grin::grin:

BTW, That is a beautiful cabinet.

 

Lovely cabinet, congratulations.

 

The more I look at this cabinet, the better I like it. I'm copying the picture to my project folder. I do wonder how you made or where you got the design on the front panel? That really makes it a standout.

 

Tom, I got the tin online, it was an old pie safe pattern I'm told. And Thanks again.

 

I like it too very cool

regards

 

Dave ~ Beautiful cabinet. The red finish really accents the black hardware. What finish did you use?

Hi Bob, That is Rustoleum Colonial Red in satin finish, sprayed on.

 

Very nice cabinet. The old timers would have used pocket hole screws if they had them. I use them all the time unless the project wouldn't be strong enough. If I don't want to see them I fill them in with Durham wood putty and the disappear.

 

Nothing wrong with them there pocket screws. The end result is great.

 

Beautiful, Dave.

 

Great job Dave. and I use pocket screws any place that I can.

 

very nice work. A striking addition to any home. Nice collection of grinders as well.
