Media Cabinet - First Project

My first (adult) wood working project. Kreg jig helped tremendously. Orginally planned for doors on lower left and right... eventually I'll get those done too...maybe.

Comment by RightCycle on October 25, 2010 at 11:00pm: Thanks. I had the hole plugs but I was a little worried that I would wind up sanding through the veneered ply I used in for the box. Using 1x3s in the face frame helped to keep the holes fairly well tucked out of sight.

Comment by ruth quick on October 25, 2010 at 9:53pm: RightCycle you should be proud of yourself - that is a great looking cabinet!...thanks for showing the pocket holes too - i hadnt seen them before like this after they had been stained and polished - they certainly dont stand out anywhere near as much as they do on melamine!-yours really blend into the rest of the cabinet, i'd be happy to leave them as is - looks really good, well done!

Comment by RightCycle on October 25, 2010 at 6:52pm: thanks everyone. much appreciated. I'd share plans if I could but my plans amounted to scribbles and a really rough sketch on a sheet of notebook paper.

Comment by Tikken Olson on October 25, 2010 at 1:47pm: Sooooooooooooooo sweet!!!!

Comment by Vasil, Mencev on October 25, 2010 at 12:57am: Very nice do you have the plans and if you do can you e-mail it to me vmmacman@yahoo.com thanks

Comment by Bob Sanders on October 24, 2010 at 6:13pm: Wow! Your first?

Comment by Marty Josephson on October 24, 2010 at 12:24pm: Nice Project, You would never know that was your first one.

Comment by RightCycle on October 19, 2010 at 9:46pm: Thanks John, The stain was Varathane's Traditional Cherry. Many coats to get it darker. Then about three coats of Varathane's polyurethane satin, sanded between coats. Up to now, I'd only done refinishing projects. I've always had pretty good outcomes with Varathane's products.

Comment by John R. Allen on October 19, 2010 at 9:37pm: Hi RC
Nice first project. I like the picture of the whole piece and also of the kreg jig holes. Very cool. Beautiful finish too. What did you use for the stain and topcoat?

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
