Nakashima Style Wall Cabinet


The new edition of Furniture and Cabinet Making has an article by me on the making of a Nakashima style wall cabinet using some wonderful English Walnut. I'm getting good publicity this month!


The article outlines the making along with a detailed plan and dimensions. Anyone wishing a free copy (of the article) can contact the editor Derek Jones via e mail derekj@thegmcgroup.com  and he will gladly forward a PDF.


There were some pretty meaty through dovetails on the corners but everything went together well.


Coming next month is an article on saw guides including a review of my magnetic dovetail guide. The picture below shows the guide being used in an unconventional manor and with a narrow bladed English saw instead of a wider bladed Japanese saw. I'll be intrigued to see what they think, but I'm also slightly worried!!

    I got the pdf of the article from Derek yesterday and I'm looking forward to having a go at it soon.
