Walnut cabinet + Hutch (sh.itjust.works)

I've posted the lower cupboard before, but here we have the (almost) finished hutch attached. I'm going to let the urethane cure for a day or two before I install the glass.

That's this dining room cupboard project finished. I learned quite a lot with this one.

Tell a dirty secret: It's asymmetrical.

I made a jig out of MDF, and was not able to rig up an arc cutting jig with a router that big, it's got like a 10.5 foot radius or something, so I used a thin offcut of oak I had lying around as a spline to mark it, roughed it out with a jigsaw and then sanded it smooth. It came out a little more concave on the left side. But, I only noticed that when I turned the part over on the jig, it differs by less than a quarter inch so I just...sanded it a bit more on the thick end and sent it.

Handmade charm at no extra cost!
