In this video workshop, Hack goes step-by-step through the construction of a small hanging wall cabinet. Hack has taught a course in how to build this case to woodworkers from all over. It’s a versatile design and the perfect hand tool project designed to hone your skills.
Hack demonstrates a better way to build wall cabinets using sliding dovetails and an unorthodox face frame that make cabinets stronger, better looking, and easier to build. He also shares tips on making your own decorative moldings and bandings and will shows how to install them, sharing a practical lesson on getting perfect mitered corners. In addition, he gives tutorials on making and fitting a door and drawer.
