Thank you Jens for the comment. Yes it is a big cabinet but actually I built it so it is in three multiple pieces. Counting all the hardware and lumber there is about a thousand dollars in it.
I have read many of your posts and blogs and have found them quite good which tell me that your are a dedicated woodworker. I have been doing this for years and built a cabinet shop business after leaving law enforcement. I am attaching a web site address for you to take a look at is you are interested. It is a story of building an Oak china hutch that I did for a customer. I have used the computer and photos to actually give prospective customers an idea as to what type of work I do making it into a story type business card. This one is a musical slide with somewhere around 130 photos. copy and paste it in to your browser.

Thank You for the favorable comment. It was alot of work and there are too many kreg screws to count. I have been doing this for over twenty years now, making all kinds of wood joints and purchased one of Craigs first jigs which is the one made entirely out of aluminum and does not even have the wood relief holes in the jigs back. I have installed an air clamp mounted it to a dedicated bench making it very speedy. For the past several years I have tried my best to wear this jig out and so far I'm loosing at the attempt. I'm can not say enough about how many different joints that the jig will enable you to make in a strong and fast method. Since I retired from law enforcement I made a second career with wood working and cabinet building and this jig has been the main tool for joining wood together. jay
