Making a Cherry Record Cabinet
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- This record cabinet is made of solid cherry. I started with 4/4 rough lumber and milled everything down to 3/4" thick. The areas behind the doors will store records while the middle will store keepsakes and a cable box. A tv and record player will sit atop the cabinet. The finish is Rubio Monocoat in Cherry Coral.

It's simple and modern. The orbital buffer does a fine job. The Rubio cherry finish totally enhances the wood...it says "cherry!" Nice work!
100% agreed.
I don't know how your videos don't blow up. You're one of my favorite woodworkers on RUclips and I've used many of your techniques. Keep it up big cat.
"Or not, I don't really know... Either way..." 😂 I love your channel, John. Have a good holiday!
Haha thanks Austin!
Halfway through, the contrast between the stained and unstained portions looked really nice.
Great final product too.
Great work nice cabinet
I agree that the color is the perfect richness for this cabinet. Great job!
That stain finish is really beautiful. Lovely doors.
Beautiful piece man, well done!
Love the color of the finished product. The orbital buffer idea is something totally new to me. Cool idea.
Beautiful!
the stain looks surprisingly good
As always, beautiful work on the cabinet John! Love the look of that stained cherry wood! 👍😉
Nice job
Awesome job. Using the buffer for staining and finishing was a great idea.
Very nice
Beautiful and so high quality! Dang bro, way to go!
Nice cabinet... very nice! Excellent work!
Great job, the door fit looks awesome!
John that turned out beautiful! 👍🏻 I know what you mean about staining cherry but I do it most of the time! With all the records I have I need to build something like this! 😀 As always thank you for sharing!
Thanks a lot Bill!
Great build John. Looking so pro man.
Thanks man!
Look at that legend :)
Lynnnnnnn
Beautiful work, John! Amazing looking cabinet! 😃
I was worried at first about the color, but it really turned out fantastic!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice looking piece
Absolutely beautiful!
Made my 50” wide album racks out of 1”x2” 14gauge steel legs and rails with 1.25” walnut shelves supported on 8 adjustable feet above the rails. Top is 2.25” walnut on similar feet. Legs and feet are sand filled to reduce “ringing”. 10 years, no middle sag. Vinyl is deceptively heavy. Just sharing, as always, YMMV
Beautiful work!
Great video. Particularly liked the orbital buffer. Never seen one before. Looking for one now
Thanks! Ya that buffer is really handy for large flat surfaces.
I like the way you are easy to understand
Spend the $300 & buy Blums 35mm cup drilling jig. It gives 3 ref points (2,4,6 mm) & drills the “inserts” holes for their hinges! It also does all 35 mm hinges! Little learning curve but great jig for guys like you (& me) that hv small businesses !
That would be a nice thing to have on hand! If I start using these hinges more often I just might have to get it.
@@parillaworks it’s pricy however we’ll worth it. Unless u want to step it up further and go with the CMT hinge jig which fits on your drill press kind of a box that hold the forester bits ?
A YT Channel called Mike Farrington uses it. He is a cabinet maker speciality carpenter.
You really outta get your contractor license and make some good money?
You have all the OCD issues that go along with being a custom finish carpenter.👊
Very good work. Two comments. First, I thought the grain pattern on the doors, when closed, was very interesting. I need to go back and look at it in detail and see if/how I would like it. Secondly, I commend you for using sap wood on the cherry. I understand that you are staining it (a shame but I accept why) but, all too often, sap wood is discarded regardless of application. It can be too soft; it can be the target for woodworm - but all these can be dealt with. Obviously, I make a feature of the sap wood on yew but also on walnut, laburnum (for handles) etc. Scrap is a big issue for woodworkers, particularly in terms of money being thrown away and I commend you for incorporating sap in the less conspicuous areas.
Thanks! The doors are each 12” wide but I didn’t have any super wide stock for them so I had to laminate two pieces per door. There were some color differences so I had to make a choice on how to arrange them. I think they turned out nice enough especially once the stain was applied. As to sap wood, ya it can be a really nice feature if used properly. It’s hidden and stained in this project but I’ve highlighted it before in past projects. Thanks for your comment :)
@@parillaworks on reflection, I can see some clients loving the doors - they are certainly not hiding what they are - and others just not accepting them. I must admit that when I get to over 10” wide, I go to veneered mdf or plywood , and then edge them. What I gain is good grain match plus stability plus best use of real hardwood. I lose having sold hardwood but I do believe more clients are coming around to accepting the benefits of veneer.
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , un magnífico gabinete , gracias por compartir tanta creatividad , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia ( España) 🤓 😜
Looks great. I love the color. BTW, I have the same Kreg jig for drilling the hinges. I use it to drill all 3 holes. There is one manufacturer out there that uses a different hole spacing but I can't remember which.
Come on, you could have gotten plenty of apothecary drawers in that center partition! Great craftsmanship. I still can't get behind staining cherry though.
Hahaha! Thank you. You joke but I actually offered a design or two that involved some drawers behind the doors up top but the client didn't want them.
Another job well done!
Thanks Billy!
Love your work!
Thanks Connie!
Hi John, no need to use a story stick for your Domino. Just get the
BTW: for the depth of your panels 4 domino’s work fine. Anything more is overkill & even three will work okay.
Sorry: bit of text disappeared: Cross stop QA-DF 500/700. Works like a charm.
Thanks Bert! That’s a good suggestion. Not sure why I didn’t buy the cross stop when I bought the Domino. The story stick I got from Lee Valley has worked well so far though.
This was a super video. How do you like the domino for case joinery and hat size dominos do you like for that purpose?
Thank you! So far the domino has been great for case joinery, which has been the main use so far. I used 8mm dominos in this 3/4” case but in my most recent big build I used 6mm. I think I would lean towards the 6mm from now on; they seem strong enough and still give enough material on either side of the mortise/domino.
i always try to talk clients out of matching new cherry to older cherry they may have in their home. in 10 years its going to be much darker than what they were trying to match.
Yay, John!!! Great as always!
Thanks Shawn!
Absolutely beautiful! Simple but elegant design! Did you use all that Cherry you had up against your house to build this cabinet? How much board feet did you use? Thx!
Thank you! The bundle was about 100bdft but I only used about 40 or so. I have a bunch left…I may steer any future clients towards cherry haha.
I watched bents woodworking video about the differences between the two domino tools, do you like your xl? Do you ever regret not getting the smaller domino instead? I don’t have either yet and was just curious. Great video, that piece turned out very sharp.
Thanks Evan. I went back and forth on the 500 and 700 for a little while. The 700 is definitely big and heavy but ultimately I wanted the ability to build large things with it. I have the Sene a adaptor and it’s worked great so far. I haven’t used the 700 on any really small parts yet but I did buy the dock from Ramon Valdez which will probably make that a little easier to deal with. Jason brings up a lot of good points though; you do have to buy extra dominos and cutters and all that just to get up and running if you want all of the sizes. At least for now I’m happy with the 700 and don’t regret it.
@@parillaworks that’s good to know. Thanks for the info!
As usual some awesome carpentary and commentary. One question you work in your garage (I think), so wondered whether this was a hobby or a fully time vocation?
Thanks Brian. Yup it’s still a garage shop for me but not full time right now.
@parillaworks which makes your products even more impressive :)
The cabinet looks great. I am curious what blades you are using in your track saw. I am happy with the stock Makita one for crosscutting, but would like a recommendation on a good rip blade.
Thanks Nick! I agree, the stock Makita blade is pretty solid. Here's the rip blade I've been using: amzn.to/3h9fnER
It doesn't leave me with the most amazing finish but its definitely an improvement over the crosscut blade which can burn some, especially when cutting thicker material.
I’m curious - when you change from a rip to a crosscut blade or vice versa on the track saw, do you ever have trouble with slight differences in blade thicknesses? I have had that problem, where two different blades are advertised as having the same kerf thickness, but in reality do not - meaning the rubber strip on the track will only line up flush with one of the blades. Thanks for your video!
I haven’t noticed a difference in kerf as it relates to then zero clearance strip. But I know what you mean about all of these blades having varying kerfs. It can be kind of daunting to pick the right track saw blade; seems like there are even more tooth varieties than the table saw blades have.
How are you liking that CWI jointer/planer?
I like it a lot. Handles everything I throw at it.
A quick question, is it advisable to stain using a buffer for any type of stain or is it only applicable to a rubio monocoat?
Hi Ivan. I would lean towards no but I’m not 100% sure. Normal stains are usually applied more liberally and allowed to soak in a bit, then wiped away. I guess once the excess is wiped away you could buff the surface to even things out.
@@parillaworks thank you very much!
Wont the cherry age over time and totally change the overall colour? Or the stain prevents that?
It does, yes. I’m not entirely sure how that will affect (effect?) the stain.
@@parillaworks if you can, it would be interesting to have a follow up in 12-18 months. I have build a few cabinets in cherry (oil finish only) and the colour changed drastically in the past year. This is the reason why I tell people to not use cherry, unless they know what they are getting into.
I agree but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to follow up with the client; we’ll see! I have a few cherry pieces and they age nicely. I try to encourage clients to choose cherry, especially considering most clients I work with want dark wood (ie walnut) but can’t always pay for it. So the idea of cherry darkening over time can be attractive.
hey john.
how big is your shop?
It's a 2 car garage, about 20' x 18' or so.
If you were going to stain it, why use cherry? Some kind of cheap, veneered plywood and edging would look nearly the same. Yes, nearly.
Initially we weren’t sure about the color match so we started with cherry as a base since it was pretty close without stain. We then did some samples with and without stain. I also generally don’t work with plywood for my case work.
first, also love the content
Thank you!
4:19, really need to learn how to stain and tone. Awful stain job.

Thanks Greg, I try to keep up with the trends.
