Shop cabinet doors and drawers
Turning wood on the lathe produces a lot of wood chips. Turning big pieces of green wood produces even more. I was finding I needed to streamline the cleaning up of these wood chips after a turning project. I decided adding doors and drawers to the lathe cabinet would be the most helpful in this clean up process. In this video, I add 3 doors with Salice Series 200 hinges to the cabinet. In addition, I make three drawer boxes for the cabinet.

Making a Case for Books
This is the fully animated story of making four bookcases. The four cases are made from two pieces of walnut veneer plywood with almost no waste. The base for the cases is made from solid walnut with mitered corners The bookcases are 36 inches tall and 47 inches wide. The finish is wipe on polyurethane. They fit under and within the spacing of the windows in the living room.
I shot approximately 11,700 frames for this animation and used roughly 6,400 of them. I worked on this project intermittently from the 5th of January to 1st of March, 2014.
