All the shelves are in and the other side is glued and nailed on.

Then I add the upper divider the the short shelf up top.

And the lower vertical dividers for the drawers.

Some more pocket holes to hold part of the face frame on. I can't use pocket holes on the entire face frame since they'll show, but I'll use them where ever I can hide them.

This is the first piece to install. It'll actually fit behind the face frame and cover the wall between the cubby that's in the wall and the top of the cabinet.

Here is the wood that'll be turned into the face frame. It needs planed down so that it's all the same thickness. I buy 13/16" wood, but varies in thickness. I'll plane it down to 3/4"

Got it all planed down and ripped to width. Here I've started to attach the face frame to the case. You can either build the face frame and attach it as one piece or attach it a piece at a time. Since I don't have room to assemble the face frame as one piece and then install it, I'm attaching a piece at a time.

Getting there.

Here are the blanks that I've glued up for half of the drawers. Along with the clamps that I used to glue them up. Never have too many clamps.

Here's the wood that I'll use to make the rails and stiles for the doors and drawers. It needs planed down so it's all the same thickness and then ripped to width and cut to length.

Here are the rails and stiles for one set of doors.

Here are the rails and stiles for the upper doors. Notice that some of the rails are quite a bit wider than the others. This is because the top rails will be arched.

And the rails and stiles for the drawers. Yep raised panels for the drawers.

Heres the jig I use to cut the ends of the rails. When making arched panel doors you need to cut the ends of the rails first.

Here's the end of the rail after it's been cut.

And a bunch of the rails after they've had their ends cut.

Now to start on the arched rails. I have a set of templates, they come in pairs, one for the rail and one for the panel. Using the bandsaw I cut as close to the template as I can without cutting the template.

Then using a pattern cutting bit, (from EagleAmerica.com) I flush trim the rail to the pattern.

The pattern bit has a bearing on the top (and for the bit I have, it also has a bearing on the bottom) . Run the bearing along the template and the bit cuts the wood flush with the template.

Here it is cut flush. 3 more to go.

Here the are. All done. Now to cut the matching profile along the edges.
