How cool!!! Using a whiskey glass to strain your shellac finish...lol. This is a very cool project. I just stumbled across your channel and will continue to view it...….And...….I love your attention wanting kitty.
I know the time and labor of love an old world crafted piece like this takes. I also know the knowledge and skill level required to build a treasure of this quality. So please don't take it lightly when I say that you my friend are a true journeyman craftsman in every sense of the word and have all my respect.
It's so refreshing to see someone who explains their thought process and gives us the details. So many videos are just music and we don't get into the mind of the artist. Well done!
You have really grown as a teacher of All Trades. Enjoy your video's. Since I like whiskey I may try building this cabinet but only if I can have the cat tail that magically appeared at 15:15 . Priceless. Always good when we can include family. Or in kitty-style, she includes herself.
Anne, I enjoy watching your work, you present yourself and your projects with great dignity and purpose. That’s refreshing. And, apparently, you drink whiskey. Nice.
You should be proud of the work you have done. Adam is correct, don;t emphasize the errors and no one will notice. Grandpa used to say, " the difference between a jackknife carpenter and a finish carpenter is the finish carpenter knows how to cover up his mistakes." Love your work and videos, you are very skilled and not many are that good.
I spent much of my life as a machinist / toolmaker working to thousandths and even tenths of thousandths but I am always impressed with this level of hand work. Very nice result . Thanks.
I absolutely love how neurotic you are about all the details. It's great to see someone with my same attention to detail who actually has the skill to pull it off.
WOW! I'm not even sure what to say here other than this cabinet is absolutely gorgeous! I love your attention to detail, and the 'knack' of stain choice showing all of the beautiful grain in the wood and all of the joinery. Many years from now, you will be sitting in your windsor chair in the house and smiling while you look at each piece that you made over time and remembering the journey of each piece. THANK YOU so much for sharing this!
Anne, this is about the (third?) time I've watched this video and I come back to it because of both your competence and your presentation style / personality. I really am rooting for the new property and all work out for you. The world needs enthusiastic folks like you.
Hello Anne. Wonderful piece of woodworking. Adam is absolutely spot on; the "flaws" are only evident as you point them out. Thank you for taking the time to record your efforts and share them with us. You have inspired me to attempt a project like this for a wedding gift. I only hope I can come close to your beautiful result. Cheers, Rob
Nice work on the dovetails. At first I thought the door pull was too small. But the more I look at it, the more I like it. Also impressed to see you like Lagavulen 16. Casual drinkers find heavily peated Scotch like that distasteful. The fact that you have a bottle says you're either a legit Scotch drinker, or a big fan of Ron Swanson. Either way, you're my kind of woodworker :)
Big fan of Ron TBH. I love a tiny door pull. I put them on most of my pieces. If you're too drunk to grasp the pull, it's a good sign you've had enough.
That’s an stunningly gorgeous piece Anne. I made my wife a cabinet a few years ago to go in our bathroom that looks pretty similar to yours but is a bit bigger. I just used plywood for the carcass of the cabinet that I stained partly because I didn’t really know what I was doing at the time and didn’t have the material or the money to buy the material to make it completely from hardwood. I’ve been wanting to redo that for a while now and I think you just gave me the inspiration and motivation to get that done. Thanks for the wonderful videos, keep em’ coming.
Anne, you turned yourself into a marvelous woodworker. I really appreciate the honesty in showing off what you like and where you made a tiny mistake. I think you are not just an excellent woodworker, but a wonderful person too.
Yup I left this video feeling inspired but more so - man I got so much joy watching your energy describing the work in the last 5 minutes. I love that you're humble to note the mistakes and not let it diminish your pride and enthusiasm of the build. Thanks for sharing this video!
I bet you could if you put in some hours! I've been doing my best to fail forward with my woodworking for the past few years, and the best investment is time.
Those little blemishes are what makes this cabinet totally unique there is only one of these cabinets and this one was made by you, nice job. Thank you for sharing the build with us.
it is a makers trait to point out all the bits which you aren't happy with, which no one else will ever notice. the piece is awesome and you should be very proud of your work.
Nicely done. If you look at antique furniture, stuff that is revered for it's craftsmanship and provenance, you will find 'mistakes' are common. They were just clever in how they hid the mistakes. I'd be very proud if I made that cabinet.
Using the coping saw to remove excess waste so you have less to worry about with the chisels is such a smart way to think about it. And running all the pieces the same way through the table saw to account for any variation is definitely something I will need to try out! Thank you as always for all of the wonderful tips and for showing us such a beautiful piece! You are an artist! Also, that cat! 😁
Anne, I have changed my channels name many times due to not being happy. Anyway, I have watched you from apprentice through to where you are now. Can we ever say we are Masters lol....What I respect about your projects is, (one) the hand used tools. (Two) the ingrained drive that you have which is a plus, not a minus. You follow through to the end and listen to what others say. Something tells me you are a loyal friend for life, once you let someone in. Aside from my rambling, your cabinet is stunning, mistakes and all.. Congrats! Cheer, Sean
Beautiful cabinet and well-executed through all the phases. I like your hybrid approach of power tools for the hefty work and hand tools for the finesse of approach to woodworking. Never forget its a handmade piece and will have character imparted by the craft-person, unlike mass-produced by machines. You can proudly display what you made in your home.
Nice vid. For years I agonised over the small errors I made and felt defeated in not makeing a perfect cabinet. After a long time I learned to put a small piece of wood in the overcuts and to hide the errors better and to my amazment I found myself a better craftsmen a happier person and filled with the confidence to tackle any obstacle. Thank you from all the other non perfectionist out here in the real world.
Love your videos! You are very inspirational and one of my favorite channels on RUclips. Not a whiskey drinker but was a fun project to get to watch you do. But absolutely IN LOVE with that mallet. Keep on posting videos and living your best life and I'll be honored to keep watching. Thank you.
Thanks so much for all the support! Don't tell anyone, but I don't drink whiskey either. The cabinet can hold whatever you want, should you choose to build one :) This was a birthday gift for my husband. Maybe next time I'll build a cabinet to hold toilet paper haha
This is one of your best videos. Your work is lovely. I wish I had the time and skill to do this type of work. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Beautiful cabinet! I’m not as far along as you in my woodworking and I appreciate you mention tiny flaws. I struggle being a perfectionist so I get frustrated when my work isn’t perfect so thanks for keeping it real 😊
dburd58 When I started woodworking I worried so much about all the things I knew were wrong with my projects that I nearly gave up what I enjoyed so much. Fortunately, my wife eventually convinced me that I was the only one noticing the flaws. I’ve never created anything yet that was free of flaws but I keep trying. Vince Lombardi said “Perfection is not achievable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence”. Keep building my friend, and don’t worry about tiny imperfections. Enjoy the beauty in what you create.
Well done! I also watch your videos with my daughter (4 years old) and she loves it! I'll be making a whiskey cabinet of my own now, thanks to you for the inspiration. Btw, we also very much enjoy all of your critters, so more farming videos as well please.
Ms Anne, you are truly a perfectionist and it shows on this build. Your woodworking skills are far beyond ours but it does inspire us to learn more and attempt to improve. Your cabinet was beautiful Congratulations on a job well done.
Thanks so much for the encouragement. I'm not too far along on my woodworking journey myself, but I am always looking for new opportunities to learn, and this project provided quite a few in and of itself!
Very nice job Anne. I say that not as an expert critiquing your cabinetry, but as a rank amateur who now senses greater understanding and confidence since watching your video. Thanks so much for sharing this project.
So jealous of the dovetails. I have to use my Leigh jig because I cannot hand cut them to save my life. Also, I love the idea you used the french cleat system for hanging the cabinet. Beautiful project. Your attention to the little details like the inclusions etc is the same as mine. I love the little things that make a project special.
Thanks for the encouragement! I bet if you spend a little time sawing without your jig you'd be surprised what you're capable of, but also, if it works for you, it works! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
For sure. I actually switched to the jig after spending quite some time hand sawing. I had a wrist injury in my youth that I believe affects my alignment. In either case, I’m not one to worry about what people say. Thanks for the reply.
I know right!!! I got a very Paul Sellers feel watching her cut and plane - is it high end tools, or long practiced technique that wows me maybe both but man those tools are sharp!!
Sharp tools are important. Dull tools are dangerous. I always try to buy the best tools I can afford. When I can, I also like to buy them from small, boutique makers, which gives them even more value to me because I know they were created in an effort to pursue another person's passion and support a family.
Came out great! The contrasting wood is awesome. My wife says the same thing about pointing out defects... she’s right lol. Also, looks like you,l be giving a presentation to my woodworking club in a couple months, really looking forward to it! Thanks for the good content.
Hey Anne, Noticed that green tool box. My dad worked for Ma Bell way back when. It's a repairman's tool box. I don't like the handles on mine. Loved the spontaneous "Uggggh!" LOL! Nice work! Osha approves! Krenov would approve. Errors are character.
Great work. You showed us your mistakes, but what I saw was a woman with tremendous skill. So very well done, a beautiful piece. You have some awesome tools, too. I really enjoy your videos and always look forward to your next endeavor.
Such an amazing job on this cabinet! You definitely inspire me to stop just watching build videos and make an attempt at it. Thanks for all the effort you make to share your craft with the world!
Wouw, what is that beautiful cabinet, a dream! Thanks for the great video, I hate to make dovetails, it's sooo long work, to have it perfect, you gave me the strength to make it again, thanks! It's more than 25 years ago when I did that!
This is the first video of yours that I have watched and I am blown away. Your skill level far exceeds mine and I may never build something with this degree of detail, but that doesn’t matter. You took your time, you thought through every detail and made an amazing piece. We can all take something away from this project whether we are beginners or masters, and that’s what really matters. Great work!
Anne. Don't know if you pick up comments from old videos. I was watching some of the earlier videos. Here is a tip. If you want to make a tongue and groove with the groove dead center in the edge of the board, do your best to position the blade to cut in the center and pass the board through the saw. Then turn the board 180 degrees and run it through again. Any imperfection is automatically corrected. Adjust the thickness of the tongue accordingly. This and all of the other videos are great videos!
Howdy! That’s a great tip and you are totally correct. I can’t quite remember why I did things this way for this project, but there was a reason, likely because I was trying to create more interior space inside the cabinet or having something to do with the rabbet at the back of the cabinet, but it was so long ago now the reason is lost on me. Perhaps it’s in the magazine article I wrote about this piece. If I remember next time I’m in my office I’ll take a peek.
It looks great! Excellent work on the dovetails. I noticed you mentioned the gap on the hinge side of the door was larger to accommodate the hinges. You can avoid that by accounting for the gap between the leafs. Split the difference and add that to your mortise depth when setting up your router to close up the gap.
another awesome video. your attention to detail is amazing, its definitely made me evaluate and re evaluate some of my woodworking but it also is a great display of how to accomplish an impressive task by simply having a plan, taking your time, and just doing your best.
Thanks so much! For every job, the attention to detail must be in accordance with the time alloted for the project, or you get into trouble. I had to pull some all nighters on this project, but they were my fault, and I'll soon forget them as I enjoy a piece I truly love in my home.
How cool!!! Using a whiskey glass to strain your shellac finish...lol. This is a very cool project. I just stumbled across your channel and will continue to view it...….And...….I love your attention wanting kitty.
You are the only person who noticed that so far, glad someone shared my giggle about it!

I absolutely love how neurotic you are about all the details. It's great to see someone with my same attention to detail who actually has the skill to pull it off.

It is a pretty wonderful thing to survey the room from the comfort of those chairs :)
I enjoy your talents every time. Whatever you make or cook and together with the animals is a delight for the eyes! Thank you!!
Thanks so much for all the support!
Anne, this is about the (third?) time I've watched this video and I come back to it because of both your competence and your presentation style / personality. I really am rooting for the new property and all work out for you. The world needs enthusiastic folks like you.
Wow, thank you! That is really encouraging to hear.
Just watched it for the 4th time. Keep on keeping on. @@AnneofAllTrades
Beautiful piece. It means a lot to hear a craftsperson say they gave their best effort and mean it.
Thank you so much!
the details are what make it... and thankyou for clocking the screws all in the same direction, it really makes me happy
Details are my favorite. They can add or subtract so much from a piece.
Hello Anne. Wonderful piece of woodworking. Adam is absolutely spot on; the "flaws" are only evident as you point them out. Thank you for taking the time to record your efforts and share them with us. You have inspired me to attempt a project like this for a wedding gift.

Character, not flaws. Really enjoy your channel, thank you for your time.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I love sharing these projects.
Anne, you turned yourself into a marvelous woodworker. I really appreciate the honesty in showing off what you like and where you made a tiny mistake. I think you are not just an excellent woodworker, but a wonderful person too.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Love your honesty about your mistakes! We all make them!
The hand drill was a nice touch. I have my grandfather’s drill from the 1950’s. Love it!
And what a beautiful cabinet! Great job.
Yup I left this video feeling inspired but more so - man I got so much joy watching your energy describing the work in the last 5 minutes. I love that you're humble to note the mistakes and not let it diminish your pride and enthusiasm of the build. Thanks for sharing this video!
Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm always happy to share a smile and a little bit I've learned from my mistakes whenever I can.
Anne there were so many things you loved about it. What I loved the most was your enthusiasm and energy. Great build. Great video.
Thanks so much! Happy to share a smile whenever I can!
Annie you are truly a Goddess,not only are a fantastic carpenter,but you have a bottle of Lagavulin as well.
So badass, girlfriend. Looks gorgeous!
Thanks so much Sam!
I love the little joinery prototype!! That is an EXCELLENT idea!!
Beautiful Cabinet. Props to your skills. Its stunning! Your cat is a great pal too! Thank You for sharing your skills.
You got me, girl! I couldn't do that one without a lot of practice. I don't even use chisels. Great job!
I bet you could if you put in some hours! I've been doing my best to fail forward with my woodworking for the past few years, and the best investment is time.

Smart, likeable, and knows exactly what she's doing.
I love the little door knob. If you can not find it to open the door, you know you have had enough. Very beautiful work.
Nicely done. If you look at antique furniture, stuff that is revered for it's craftsmanship and provenance, you will find 'mistakes' are common. They were just clever in how they hid the mistakes.
I'd be very proud if I made that cabinet.

Thanks so much for the kind words Dave!

Thanks so much!
Anne, what a beautiful cabinet! I am truly impressed and inspired!
Thank you so much!
After your post this week, went back and watched the whiskey cabinet vid! So great. I need to get after it and make one.
Thank you! Heck yeah! Go for it.
the cabinet looks great
Excellent, once again enjoying the more drawn out version the thing that doesn't change is the beauty of the piece
Looks beautiful
Very beautiful piece and fun to watch!
What a wonderful way to make all the details the dovetails are something that I can't make in a decent way. Awesome work!!!
Practice makes better than before!
Thank you for showing me how to make a whiskey cabinet you do very good wood work Anne
Wow that is a beautiful whiskey cabinet great job it looks amazing!
Thank you!
Favorite part of Monday is watching ur new vids lol
Glad to hear it!!
So jealous of the dovetails. I have to use my Leigh jig because I cannot hand cut them to save my life. Also, I love the idea you used the french cleat system for hanging the cabinet. Beautiful project. Your attention to the little details like the inclusions etc is the same as mine. I love the little things that make a project special.
Thanks for the encouragement! I bet if you spend a little time sawing without your jig you'd be surprised what you're capable of, but also, if it works for you, it works! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
For sure. I actually switched to the jig after spending quite some time hand sawing. I had a wrist injury in my youth that I believe affects my alignment. In either case, I’m not one to worry about what people say.
Thanks for the reply.
Nice job Anne. Love the details like the sap wood edge in the inside matching the knob. Love those details.
Cat: pet me
Anne: in a second, I'm doing a thing here
Cat: no, PETS NOW.!
hahahaha yep!
A really nice cabinet, well done
Predivno, svaka pohvala.
Nice work you pay attention to the details true mark of a crafts person.
Rewatched this video! So great, Anne of all trades!
anne your an amazing at everything you do
What a fun video to watch and a beautiful cabinet to boot. Thanks Anne
I love your tools, they're so well looked after and I cannot wait till I can have such a workshop one day. Well done to you Anne, great video!
I know right!!! I got a very Paul Sellers feel watching her cut and plane - is it high end tools, or long practiced technique that wows me maybe both but man those tools are sharp!!

Came out great! The contrasting wood is awesome. My wife says the same thing about pointing out defects... she’s right lol. Also, looks like you,l be giving a presentation to my woodworking club in a couple months, really looking forward to it! Thanks for the good content.
Thank you! Good luck with your presentation!
@@AnneofAllTrades that should have said “you’ll be giving...”. I didn’t proof read 🤦🏻♂️ I’m part of the Long Island woodworkers club.
Excellent work, it’s a killer piece.
Anne, as always you did a wonderful job and ended up with a beautiful cabinet.
It's perfect because you made it.
A project that ends in whiskey went really well or really wrong. Glad this one went well.
Ha! That's an excellent point.
Hey Anne, Noticed that green tool box. My dad worked for Ma Bell way back when. It's a repairman's tool box. I don't like the handles on mine. Loved the spontaneous "Uggggh!" LOL! Nice work! Osha approves! Krenov would approve. Errors are character.
So beautiful!
Beautiful work
Very nice job. Congratulations.
Another great video my 3 girls love your projects and have made a few now all because of you keep up the great work
No wonder your so good you are left handed
Thomas Culver ambidextrous, actually
It looks amazing.
Great work. You showed us your mistakes, but what I saw was a woman with tremendous skill. So very well done, a beautiful piece. You have some awesome tools, too. I really enjoy your videos and always look forward to your next endeavor.
Thanks so much!
Wow .. thanks Anne .. that was inspirational
It's a very nice piece.
I'm working on a totally different project, but what you've done here is exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Such an amazing job on this cabinet! You definitely inspire me to stop just watching build videos and make an attempt at it. Thanks for all the effort you make to share your craft with the world!

Well done. Noticed the war wounds on your fingers.That means you're learning. Keep at it. Shop kitty says good job, too. Subscribed.

Love the hand drill! I'm not the only primitive worker!
It looks great! Excellent work on the dovetails. I noticed you mentioned the gap on the hinge side of the door was larger to accommodate the hinges. You can avoid that by accounting for the gap between the leafs. Split the difference and add that to your mortise depth when setting up your router to close up the gap.
That is true, but I don’t really love the look of inset hinges either. I chose this as the lesser of two evils.
Cheers. Great work.
another awesome video. your attention to detail is amazing, its definitely made me evaluate and re evaluate some of my woodworking but it also is a great display of how to accomplish an impressive task by simply having a plan, taking your time, and just doing your best.
Thanks so much! For every job, the attention to detail must be in accordance with the time alloted for the project, or you get into trouble. I had to pull some all nighters on this project, but they were my fault, and I'll soon forget them as I enjoy a piece I truly love in my home.
