Vanity Cabinet with Mirror
Woodworking Plan

Build this gorgeous piece, complete with mirror. This vanity has great proportions and simple lines, with a mirrored door that is simple to make. All the joinery is cut at the tablesaw using a dado set. The door is assembled with slip tenons, and the frame is rabbeted before assembly to ensure a perfectly square recess for the mirror. The cove molding for the cornice is cut at the tablesaw and assembled before it is attached to the cabinet. Non-mortise hinges add to the look and the simplicity of assembly.

FINISHED SIZE: 6". deep by 20-1/4". wide by 29". tall

Wall-Hung Corner Cabinet
Fine Woodworking Project Plan

This project was inspired by a small hanging corner cabinet with a single curved door, shaped cornice, and molded base, seen at a museum in Vermont. That design was simplified to yield this elegant country-style piece with delicate details. Curved-front shelves, decorative crown molding, and a frame-and-panel door complete the piece, which can get a dramatically different appearance depending on the moldings and panels you choose to use.

Wall Cabinet
Fine Woodworking Project Plan

This simple but pretty cabinet was designed for narrow spaces and can be adapted easily for all sorts of uses, from storage near a door to a kitchen spice-holder. Traditional dovetail joinery holds the case together, while sliding dovetails lock the shelves into place. The simple frame-and-panel door employs bridle joints instead of traditional mortises and tenons; the joinery is exposed throughout. This project is suitable for both hand- and power-tool enthusiasts.

Arts & Crafts Desk and Wall Cabinet
Fine Woodworking Project Plan

Styled after a well-known English Arts & Crafts manufacturer’s work, this desk incorporates the signature square, flared feet and curved front aprons of the Harris Lebus firm. The wall mounted gallery is a perfect complement, incorporating Lebus’s signature crown, with its dramatic bevels and exaggerated overhangs. The curved front apron is created with a mix of hand and power tools; the joinery for the desk includes mortise-and-tenon and dovetails. The wall-hung cabinet construction is basic, with routed through-dovetails at the corners and stopped dadoes housing the vertical dividers. An elegant dragonfly inlay enhances the doors.
