Designed to match the futon sofa (DP-00176) and the TV stand (DP-00259), this sleek, versatile cabinet system lends itself to any number of furniture pieces that easily assemble and disassemble. We’ll show you how to build the components, you decide what your needs are, and build to suit. The key to the system lies in the cam-lock knockdown hardware that lets you alter your furniture as your needs change or grow. If you don’t foresee the need for the knockdown feature, you can join the parts by conventional methods, such as screws or biscuits.

Country Hutch
Fine Woodworking Project Plan

This piece was designed to store and showcase dinner wear, so it has to be sturdy. The lower case consists of a frame-and-panel bottom, back, and sides. For maximum strength, the top and sides of the upper case are dovetailed together, and the shelves mate with the sides via tapered sliding dovetails. The glass doors are easy to make on the router table. The beaded, painted back slats add texture and contrast, while the hand-forged door hinges contribute to a classic feel.

Krenov Inspired Display Cabinet

The cabinet-on-stand form popularized by James Krenov uses familiar construction methods such as mortise-and-tenon joints, dowels, and bridle joints. What makes it special are all the lessons and details Jim Budlong adds, learned in years teaching side-by-side with the master. For example, he starts with the doors and then builds the case to fit them. The doors are joined with attractive, simple bridle joints, and divided glass panels help make them special. The carcase is joined with dowels, which makes it easy to dry-fit to ensure a perfect fit with the doors. The legs are shaped on the bandsaw and refined with hand tools.
