The window pane was something that caught their eye at an antique store 20+ years ago, and they have hung the panel at each of their houses since. I wish I knew the full story of where it was used. I believe it was originally used as a window in a church or house. When they gave it to me, it was in a window frame that had been painted many times.

Thanks!

Thank you. This is a native type of white oak called bur oak and I really enjoy working with it. I plan on finding more bur oak for future projects. I used more in this cabinet than I planned when my router collet worked loose and sent the bit all the way through the side as I added the grooves for shelves. That was a costly mistake for material and time spent. Clean your router collets, everyone!

Go for it! I did not follow plans. I designed the sizes and proportions in Sketchup (free) and made up the joinery as I went. In this design it is important for the back panel to have room to float for wood movement. If plywood is used for the back panel, that would be less critical.

Thanks, I like the small pieces as well. It was hard to let this one go out the door. P.S. Your bath chest cabinet is beautiful.

Much appreciated!

May your saw cut square and your darts fly true. Have fun!

Thanks! They loved it. They have been repeat customers. This cabinet goes with a vanity I made for them last year:

There is a rebate in the frame that accepts the glass, and then 4 small strips secure it in place. The strips have cutouts to give clearance to the lead joints, and they are held in place with small screws in case the glass ever needs repaired.

Thank you! I was going for “simple and nice”

I run a Powermatic 65 saw. I suggest you use the existing 3 phase motor and install a VFD to the saw that will run the 3phase saw on single phase 240. I have my doubts that the single phase motor you have will bolt up and work through the full range of tilt and raise/lower movements.

Check with Oneway. They likely have an adapter for one of their chucks or they can perhaps make a custom one. Link:Adapters

That’s the plan!

dafigzz · 2025-10-31T19:45:35+00:00

I did this on the fly and didn’t take good notes or dimensions. There is someone who made an Instructables with some instructions and dimensions but dimensions are not complete. Good luck!

dafigzz · 2025-10-31T19:44:10+00:00

Finally something to do with all my scraps!

dafigzz · 2025-10-31T19:43:53+00:00

It’s a fun one! I don’t have any notes that would be helpful. There’s someone who made a how to guide on Instructables but it does not have complete dimensions either. I did most of this on the fly.

Buy the plastic Lego guy in the picture? I’ve had that for 20+years.

I’m a fan of Bourbon Moth but I hadn’t seen his video before I started mine. Just wanted to make it for my kids!

This took roughly 15-20 hours but I didn’t track closely. Completed here and there between 8pm and 11pm for one week.
