In Part 2, I assembled the case. Although I haven't updated my web site in a while, I did continue to work on the art cabinet. I sanded the case and painted it Narragansett Green. I made the base out of maple and applied 2 coats of mahogany oil stain followed by two coats of MinWax glossy wipe-on poly. I used left-over plywood to make spacers for the drawer slides (see below).

Breaking down the plywood was a breeze with my home made panel saw. I cut the sides, base and the nailer on panel saw. Then rabbeted the sides for the back. Then, using my new Kreg pocket hole jig, I drilled and assembled the case.

My next project is an art cabinet for my beautiful bride, Kathleen. Kathleen likes to paint with watercolors and she needs a cabinet to store her painting supplies as well as her finished or in-process art. This project is also stretch project for me. Until now, I've only made small traditional styled furniture. This project will be closer to custom cabinetry and, in fact, I'm following tips from several kitchen cabinet "how to" books in my library.
