More like the last 3 weeks. I started building my new upper kitchen cabinets out in my shop. I started with the one over the stove so it sort of has 3 sections with the area where the vent hood will go.
Next was one cabinet which will mostly hold dishes and other china. Then one that goes above the refrigerator and one near the sink. There was also a tricky one that will go over a work island and eventually have glass doors on both sides so it had no back panel. It will be for wine glasses and some crystal vases.
The wood is all birch. Birch ply is so easy to work with and fairly cheep for the boxes so I decided to just use solid birch for the face frames. The door will be of a Shaker style and will be made later as I have to retool several machines for those. Still have to stain and varnish. The cabinets shown here are upside down for storage until I start staining. So the top rail is 4 inches and the stiles and bottom rails are around 2 inches.
I would have gotten more done but my wife had to go and have that darn stroke in the middle of it!
