The Wall-Hung Curio Cabinet
3. Crosscut all of your stock to length...except for the door stiles and rails (G & H) and the front and side moldings (J & K). You'll cut these in step 9. When crosscutting, be sure to allow an extra 1/8" of length for careful trimming later.
TIP: If you're working with extremely long pieces of stock, the Shopsmith Support Table or Roller Stand will help you achieve added support and improved results when ripping - while the Miter Gauge Extension Face or a Cross-Cut Sliding Table will be very helpful during crosscutting operations.
4. Next, crosscut the cabinet sides (A) to final length and mark the locations of the rabbets and dadoes. Transfer the contours for the bottoms of the sides to your stock.
5. To form the rabbets for the back, change to a Dado Blade set-up and attach a wooden auxiliary fence such as the one shown here to your Rip Fence to avoid cutting into the Rip Fence Face.
Using this set-up, cut the 3/8" x 3/8" rabbets on the sides (A) and top (B). Be sure to use a Push Block to keep your hands out of harm's way.
Remove the Fence and cut the dadoes in the sides (A) for the bottom and shelves (C), then form the rabbets on the ends of the sides for the top.
NOTE: If you don't have a Dado set-up, you could also cut the rabbets by making two passes with an ordinary blade on your Table Saw...or with the Shopsmith Router Package or Router Table Kit.
6. Use your Bandsaw, Scroll Saw or hand-held saber saw to cut the contours on the bottoms of the sides (A). Tip: When doing this, be sure to cut outside your marked line so you can sand your contours down to perfection using your Drum Sander.
7. Assemble the cabinet case (sides [A], top [B], bottom and shelves [C]) with woodworker's glue and #8 x 1" flathead wood screws or 6d finishing nails. If you're using nails, be sure to set and fill over the heads. If you're using screws, don't forget to drill counterbores for the heads and fill over them with glued-in screw plugs.
8. The face frame pieces (D, E & F) are cut to fit. Starting with the stiles (D), mark and cut them to length, leaving the lines...then disc sand them to exact length.
