In need of new kitchen cabinets, I built my own seven years ago, using my own design. Really spruced up the place, so I decided to really "get-into-it" and start learning techniques to build large, useful pieces. My goal is to learn more ornate furniture building techniques, and cabinetry using my second love--leaded glass panels and doors.
I'm fortunate to have my father's expertise, as he is an accomplished furniture maker (but won't build me anything)--okay, he has a few pieces--but most of the requests tells me to do it myself! So, that's what I am doing.

Great idea! I got rid of my 18 ft-er after I divorced and got rid of the kids, thinking I would be relegated to camping out on the ground when traveling...this project puts fresh butter-on-the-bread...Thanks for sharing. --dj
