Bench Build Doors and Drawers

 After a commission job, and a very nice trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, I completed the next major step in the bench build, adding the doors and drawers. 

The doors are 1" poplar and are attached with the hinges supplied in the hardware pack from Benchcrafted, the knobs are cherry as is the door latch on the side door. I still need to make two more.

The half blind dovetails on the drawers are hand cut, I used pine for the drawer sides and back, the big reason was I ran out of poplar for the drawers, and I had the pine on hand from a previous job.

Happy with the results of the dovetails, the more I cut the better they look (to me anychoice) and this step was one of the more enjoyable parts of this phase of construction.Next step. Front Leg Vise construction and installation, final fit, and finish, of the drawers and doors, and coloring the cabinet in a yet to be determined color of Milk Paint.
