Well i am to the point of building my cabin cabnints now. Did anyone else find this as hard as I am??? I am using the 4x8 benroy plans from kuffell creek and the cabnint part is hard for me to follow. But on the other hand this it the first thing of wood I have built!!!! Any words of advice and pic here would be greatly appriciated!!! Thanks in advance. Bill...... I will try and post pics when I get home from work but what I have so far is in my album.

Bill your TD is looking great. I am going to give you the advice I can't seem to take myself. Build the best box you can. That doesn't mean the one that weighs the most just get it square.

At the top of this forum you will find a cabinet thread.

Also if you look at the build pictures from the Hall of Fame it may help.

Good luck

Bill,
There are some awesome looking galleys with such nice cabinets out there. I must admit that this being my first time working with wood I took the easy way out and put in Home depot kitchen cabinets.



If I were to build again I am certainly more confident now and would try my hand at it. I'm going to see how I like the kitchen set up as is and then make choices for build #2 from there. OK....so there you have it I am already dreaming of building another!

Bill-

we got the basic galley done and then went camping. From that we saw what we needed and didn't need and built around that. So may I suggest - is get the TD campable - do some camping trips and go from there. Like you would be surprised - the small things - like where do I stow my shoes, etc. etc

This is only my opinion. The one nice thing about building these things is that you can do what ever you like.

So have fun!!!!!!!!!

Bill

My best advise, keep plugging along. This is where I kinda felt overwhelmed and the progress slowed. There were so many little things to do that I felt as if I'd never get done. I just kept at it and eventually I finished. I may have overcomplicated mine because I dovetailed the drawers and made my own doors but that was how I wanted to do it. Besides, I tend to overcomplicate lots of things.

Like you, this is the first thing I built out of wood that deserved a finish. Before you know it, you will be applying your polyurethane.
