I decided to make a bathroom cabinet which we have needed for the past few years so that I could finally install a bathroom sink on. Infact I had to make it as I could not finish the little house in time for my wifes parents to stay in and they would not like to brush their teeth and wash their hands over the bath like we have done for the past years. Anyway the cabinet is made off douglas fir for the front frame, ash for the top, yew for one side that will be seen and shop bought pine boards for shelf and otherside that will not be seen. It took me about 4 hours in all to cut, plane, sand and put together. I cut the ash top as it was cupped and split down the centre, due to this being the pith (centre) and rejoined with festool dominos and glued which worked out quite well. I also joined the yew with biscuits to make a board, this I did not plane but sanded. All joints, face frame etc were joined by pocket hole screws (Kreg) which was so quick and was well happy with this for the time it took. I have not edited it as I am not that good at doing this. As for the pocket hole jig used, it was a UJK jig bought from axminster.co.uk and for me seemed to be a well made one, (and at a good price) all metal/ali construction and with plenty off adjustment, well pleased with this. I will upload the next part as my internet connection is so slow, I started uploading on Friday at 7pm and as off 18:25 on a Saturday it is still uploading and on 99% (is this normal). Please comment good or bad, let me know other ways to do it. This is not the best cabinet making and I am not telling anyone how to do it, we all have our ways and we work to the best we can. For me this serves a purpose to an end in a very short time and I am happy with the results, time is my master at present and I have many things to do day to day, like most of us.
