Re: Family Christmas Cabinets

To reply to wmmorrow: Thanks for your comment. The construction of the doors is not as exacting as Krenov's work. I read his "Fine Art of Cabinet Making" years ago, and his reverence for wood has always been with me. I use more power tools than he did, but fine tune with hand tools. I did not use knife hinges; they are brass leaf hinges, and not of the expensive variety. There is approximately a 3/32" gap top, bottom, and between the doors to allow for expansion when the weather becomes humid this summer. If they bind, it will be back to the hand plane, and a bit of refinishing!
