- Big Thank You to Rockler Woodworking for sponsoring this video! www.rockler.com/
This week, I designed and tackled a dovetailed whiskey cabinet in the Krenov Cabinet style with a frame and panel construction door, waterfall grain wrapping the entire cabinet, butt hinges, and a sliding dovetail shelf. There are so many fun details in this build, and I'm super excited to share this hybrid woodworking project with you all!

How cool!!! Using a whiskey glass to strain your shellac finish...lol. This is a very cool project. I just stumbled across your channel and will continue to view it...….And...….I love your attention wanting kitty.
You are the only person who noticed that so far, glad someone shared my giggle about it!
It's so refreshing to see someone who explains their thought process and gives us the details. So many videos are just music and we don't get into the mind of the artist. Well done!
I know the time and labor of love an old world crafted piece like this takes. I also know the knowledge and skill level required to build a treasure of this quality. So please don't take it lightly when I say that you my friend are a true journeyman craftsman in every sense of the word and have all my respect.
Thanks so much Lee! I appreciate it.
Those aren't errors, those're features! Abs'tolutely gorgeous!
You have really grown as a teacher of All Trades. Enjoy your video's. Since I like whiskey I may try building this cabinet but only if I can have the cat tail that magically appeared at 15:15 . Priceless. Always good when we can include family. Or in kitty-style, she includes herself.
Thanks for that!
Anne, I enjoy watching your work, you present yourself and your projects with great dignity and purpose. That’s refreshing. And, apparently, you drink whiskey. Nice.
You should be proud of the work you have done. Adam is correct, don;t emphasize the errors and no one will notice. Grandpa used to say, " the difference between a jackknife carpenter and a finish carpenter is the finish carpenter knows how to cover up his mistakes." Love your work and videos, you are very skilled and not many are that good.
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Love your honesty about your mistakes! We all make them!
I've watched nearly all of your videos and I only just noticed you're left handed(you know, like normal people are) and now I like you even more.
Beautiful Cabinet. Props to your skills. Its stunning! Your cat is a great pal too! Thank You for sharing your skills.
You got me, girl! I couldn't do that one without a lot of practice. I don't even use chisels. Great job!
I bet you could if you put in some hours! I've been doing my best to fail forward with my woodworking for the past few years, and the best investment is time.
Beautiful piece. It means a lot to hear a craftsperson say they gave their best effort and mean it.
Thank you so much!
I plan on building something like this when I get back to the USA , got some good ideas from your video
Smart, likeable, and knows exactly what she's doing.
Hello Anne. Wonderful piece of woodworking. Adam is absolutely spot on; the "flaws" are only evident as you point them out. Thank you for taking the time to record your efforts and share them with us. You have inspired me to attempt a project like this for a wedding gift. I only hope I can come close to your beautiful result.
Cheers,
Rob
Thank you very much!
Very nicely done. You paid a lot of attention to the important details.
it is a makers trait to point out all the bits which you aren't happy with, which no one else will ever notice. the piece is awesome and you should be very proud of your work.
Anne, I have changed my channels name many times due to not being happy. Anyway, I have watched you from apprentice through to where you are now. Can we ever say we are Masters lol....What I respect about your projects is, (one) the hand used tools. (Two) the ingrained drive that you have which is a plus, not a minus. You follow through to the end and listen to what others say. Something tells me you are a loyal friend for life, once you let someone in. Aside from my rambling, your cabinet is stunning, mistakes and all.. Congrats! Cheer, Sean
Thanks Sean!
Nice work on the dovetails. At first I thought the door pull was too small. But the more I look at it, the more I like it. Also impressed to see you like Lagavulen 16. Casual drinkers find heavily peated Scotch like that distasteful. The fact that you have a bottle says you're either a legit Scotch drinker, or a big fan of Ron Swanson. Either way, you're my kind of woodworker :)
Big fan of Ron TBH. I love a tiny door pull. I put them on most of my pieces. If you're too drunk to grasp the pull, it's a good sign you've had enough.
@@AnneofAllTrades lol 😝
Ann , love your honesty I think you are stellar.
Character, not flaws. Really enjoy your channel, thank you for your time.
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I love sharing these projects.
Wow
What a mood
I absolutely love how neurotic you are about all the details. It's great to see someone with my same attention to detail who actually has the skill to pull it off.
😁👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Hey Anne, Noticed that green tool box. My dad worked for Ma Bell way back when. It's a repairman's tool box. I don't like the handles on mine. Loved the spontaneous "Uggggh!" LOL! Nice work! Osha approves! Krenov would approve. Errors are character.
WOW! I'm not even sure what to say here other than this cabinet is absolutely gorgeous! I love your attention to detail, and the 'knack' of stain choice showing all of the beautiful grain in the wood and all of the joinery. Many years from now, you will be sitting in your windsor chair in the house and smiling while you look at each piece that you made over time and remembering the journey of each piece. THANK YOU so much for sharing this!
It is a pretty wonderful thing to survey the room from the comfort of those chairs :)
dang, what a fine cabinet and a great way to display the wood. Love it!
Thank you!
It's perfect because you made it.
Very beautiful piece and fun to watch!
Anne, this is about the (third?) time I've watched this video and I come back to it because of both your competence and your presentation style / personality. I really am rooting for the new property and all work out for you. The world needs enthusiastic folks like you.
Wow, thank you! That is really encouraging to hear.
Just watched it for the 4th time. Keep on keeping on. @@AnneofAllTrades
Rewatched this video! So great, Anne of all trades!
I spent much of my life as a machinist / toolmaker working to thousandths and even tenths of thousandths but I am always impressed with this level of hand work. Very nice result . Thanks.
I would drive you nuts with all my estimations and approximations :) All my machinist friends yell at me all the time.
the cabinet looks great
LOL! love your cat! You did an amazing job!
Favorite part of Monday is watching ur new vids lol
Glad to hear it!!
So beautiful!
Those little blemishes are what makes this cabinet totally unique there is only one of these cabinets and this one was made by you, nice job. Thank you for sharing the build with us.
A project that ends in whiskey went really well or really wrong. Glad this one went well.
Ha! That's an excellent point.
After your post this week, went back and watched the whiskey cabinet vid! So great. I need to get after it and make one.
Thank you! Heck yeah! Go for it.
anne your an amazing at everything you do
Annie you are truly a Goddess,not only are a fantastic carpenter,but you have a bottle of Lagavulin as well.
A really nice cabinet, well done
the details are what make it... and thankyou for clocking the screws all in the same direction, it really makes me happy
Details are my favorite. They can add or subtract so much from a piece.
So badass, girlfriend. Looks gorgeous!
Thanks so much Sam!
Wow that is a beautiful whiskey cabinet great job it looks amazing!
Thank you!
Looks beautiful
Cat: pet me
Anne: in a second, I'm doing a thing here
Cat: no, PETS NOW.!
hahahaha yep!
@@AnneofAllTrades , and when YOU want to pet them... Not now, I'm busy.
Excellent work, it’s a killer piece.
Nice vid. For years I agonised over the small errors I made and felt defeated in not makeing a perfect cabinet. After a long time I learned to put a small piece of wood in the overcuts and to hide the errors better and to my amazment I found myself a better craftsmen a happier person and filled with the confidence to tackle any obstacle. Thank you from all the other non perfectionist out here in the real world.
Many thumbs up.
Great work!!!
Came out great! The contrasting wood is awesome. My wife says the same thing about pointing out defects... she’s right lol. Also, looks like you,l be giving a presentation to my woodworking club in a couple months, really looking forward to it! Thanks for the good content.
Thank you! Good luck with your presentation!
@@AnneofAllTrades that should have said “you’ll be giving...”. I didn’t proof read 🤦🏻♂️ I’m part of the Long Island woodworkers club.
Wow .. thanks Anne .. that was inspirational
Anne, you turned yourself into a marvelous woodworker. I really appreciate the honesty in showing off what you like and where you made a tiny mistake. I think you are not just an excellent woodworker, but a wonderful person too.
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I love the little door knob. If you can not find it to open the door, you know you have had enough. Very beautiful work.
I love the little joinery prototype!! That is an EXCELLENT idea!!
Beautiful work your enthusiasm is infectious love your videos
Thanks so much!
What a wonderful way to make all the details the dovetails are something that I can't make in a decent way. Awesome work!!!
Practice makes better than before!
Cheers. Great work.
It's a very nice piece.
Like you, I tend to seek out the imperfections in a finished product. You seemed so proud of the fit and finish, and you should be. I'm tempted to take up drinking whiskey just to have a beautiful cabinet like that. I'm impressed (and a teensy bit jealous) of your ambidextrousness. As the Band-aid count got higher as the video progressed, I was starting to worry you'd have one beautiful cabinet and only nine digits to show for it!
Funnily enough the bandaids had nothing to do with the build, and more to do with the farm ;)
Very nice job. Congratulations.
So jealous of the dovetails. I have to use my Leigh jig because I cannot hand cut them to save my life. Also, I love the idea you used the french cleat system for hanging the cabinet. Beautiful project. Your attention to the little details like the inclusions etc is the same as mine. I love the little things that make a project special.
Thanks for the encouragement! I bet if you spend a little time sawing without your jig you'd be surprised what you're capable of, but also, if it works for you, it works! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
For sure. I actually switched to the jig after spending quite some time hand sawing. I had a wrist injury in my youth that I believe affects my alignment. In either case, I’m not one to worry about what people say.
Thanks for the reply.
Anne there were so many things you loved about it. What I loved the most was your enthusiasm and energy. Great build. Great video.
Thanks so much! Happy to share a smile whenever I can!
Beautiful work
Predivno, svaka pohvala.
awesome. That's what makes it perfect, is that is not perfect.
Yup I left this video feeling inspired but more so - man I got so much joy watching your energy describing the work in the last 5 minutes. I love that you're humble to note the mistakes and not let it diminish your pride and enthusiasm of the build. Thanks for sharing this video!
Thanks so much for your kind words. I'm always happy to share a smile and a little bit I've learned from my mistakes whenever I can.
Not bad very good tools and maintenance
I just enjoyed watching your whiskey cabinet
Thanks!
The hand drill was a nice touch. I have my grandfather’s drill from the 1950’s. Love it!
And what a beautiful cabinet! Great job.
Lovely lovely work
It's really pretty. I will take it!
Using the coping saw to remove excess waste so you have less to worry about with the chisels is such a smart way to think about it. And running all the pieces the same way through the table saw to account for any variation is definitely something I will need to try out! Thank you as always for all of the wonderful tips and for showing us such a beautiful piece! You are an artist! Also, that cat! 😁
Thanks so much my friend!
Beautiful work Anne! My goodness, just fantastic!
That is a very nice cabinet. The small imperfections and mistakes are what gives any hand made project its character and charm.
Great video.
Blessings to you and your family
Excellent taste in scotch, and joinery!
Thank you kindly!
That's just gorgeous! A real heirloom. . . .!! My wife complains about the same thing with me, that I mull over mistakes that I know are there, even if no one else ever seems to see them! REALLY nice work, you should be proud! ;-)
Beautiful cabinet and well-executed through all the phases. I like your hybrid approach of power tools for the hefty work and hand tools for the finesse of approach to woodworking. Never forget its a handmade piece and will have character imparted by the craft-person, unlike mass-produced by machines. You can proudly display what you made in your home.
Absolutely gorgeous looking cabinet, I want one!!
Great work. You showed us your mistakes, but what I saw was a woman with tremendous skill. So very well done, a beautiful piece. You have some awesome tools, too. I really enjoy your videos and always look forward to your next endeavor.
Thanks so much!
Love your videos! You are very inspirational and one of my favorite channels on CZcams. Not a whiskey drinker but was a fun project to get to watch you do. But absolutely IN LOVE with that mallet. Keep on posting videos and living your best life and I'll be honored to keep watching. Thank you.
Thanks so much for all the support! Don't tell anyone, but I don't drink whiskey either. The cabinet can hold whatever you want, should you choose to build one :) This was a birthday gift for my husband. Maybe next time I'll build a cabinet to hold toilet paper haha
You’re my hero Anne 🤩🤟
thank you!
Well done and well said
Nicely done. If you look at antique furniture, stuff that is revered for it's craftsmanship and provenance, you will find 'mistakes' are common. They were just clever in how they hid the mistakes.
I'd be very proud if I made that cabinet.
Thanks so much, I am proud! The best craftsman is not he who makes no mistakes, it's he who hides them best :) Or she, as chance would have it here.
It looks great! Excellent work on the dovetails. I noticed you mentioned the gap on the hinge side of the door was larger to accommodate the hinges. You can avoid that by accounting for the gap between the leafs. Split the difference and add that to your mortise depth when setting up your router to close up the gap.
That is true, but I don’t really love the look of inset hinges either. I chose this as the lesser of two evils.
Beautiful wee unit though, nice concise video too!
Love the hand drill! I'm not the only primitive worker!
Anne, those aren't mistakes or flaws in the cabinet, they are character. :)
Anne. Don't know if you pick up comments from old videos. I was watching some of the earlier videos. Here is a tip. If you want to make a tongue and groove with the groove dead center in the edge of the board, do your best to position the blade to cut in the center and pass the board through the saw. Then turn the board 180 degrees and run it through again. Any imperfection is automatically corrected. Adjust the thickness of the tongue accordingly. This and all of the other videos are great videos!
Howdy! That’s a great tip and you are totally correct. I can’t quite remember why I did things this way for this project, but there was a reason, likely because I was trying to create more interior space inside the cabinet or having something to do with the rabbet at the back of the cabinet, but it was so long ago now the reason is lost on me. Perhaps it’s in the magazine article I wrote about this piece. If I remember next time I’m in my office I’ll take a peek.
Well Adam is right. It looks perfect to us. We would have never known about the flaws of you hadn't pointed them out. Looks great. You did a wonderful job. Thank you for your time in producing the video. I enjoyed it even with your kitty wanting to steal the attention. Y'all take care and God bless.
Amazing job!
Great job.
That’s an stunningly gorgeous piece Anne. I made my wife a cabinet a few years ago to go in our bathroom that looks pretty similar to yours but is a bit bigger. I just used plywood for the carcass of the cabinet that I stained partly because I didn’t really know what I was doing at the time and didn’t have the material or the money to buy the material to make it completely from hardwood. I’ve been wanting to redo that for a while now and I think you just gave me the inspiration and motivation to get that done. Thanks for the wonderful videos, keep em’ coming.
Glad to hear it Scott! Always happy to share a little smile or a little go-get-em whenever I can.
Wouw, what is that beautiful cabinet, a dream! Thanks for the great video, I hate to make dovetails, it's sooo long work, to have it perfect, you gave me the strength to make it again, thanks! It's more than 25 years ago when I did that!
Great job Anne!! Big fan!! Spencer from Tacoma!!
Awesome build, nice work
Awesome work, congrats on a great piece very well done and a very interesting video. I really like the way you present 👍
Well done. Noticed the war wounds on your fingers.That means you're learning. Keep at it. Shop kitty says good job, too. Subscribed.
The war wounds are from the farm not the shop.
I feel so ashamed that even though I've followed you on IG for a LONG time - I never realized you had a CZcams channel... Time to binge watch!
Welcome aboard! Best news is you’ve got about 10 hours of content to get through hahaha
I enjoy your talents every time. Whatever you make or cook and together with the animals is a delight for the eyes! Thank you!!
Thanks so much for all the support!
Beautiful cabinet! I’m not as far along as you in my woodworking and I appreciate you mention tiny flaws. I struggle being a perfectionist so I get frustrated when my work isn’t perfect so thanks for keeping it real 😊
Keep on keeping on, even the most beautiful furniture has well hidden mistakes.
dburd58 When I started woodworking I worried so much about all the things I knew were wrong with my projects that I nearly gave up what I enjoyed so much. Fortunately, my wife eventually convinced me that I was the only one noticing the flaws. I’ve never created anything yet that was free of flaws but I keep trying. Vince Lombardi said “Perfection is not achievable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence”. Keep building my friend, and don’t worry about tiny imperfections. Enjoy the beauty in what you create.
