PROJECT #2202
Skill Level: Advanced
Time: 4 Days
Cost: $175
Interested in building a reproduction of a wall cabinet that you can customize to your liking, practice case construction, and develop your eye for design? James Krenov’s pipe cabinet is a great option. His first iteration was made in 1968 and was constructed from oak, had adjustable shelves, and a unique door that allowed for air to circulate. In this article, I’ll walk you through designing this cabinet to your liking and give you tips on how to build the iconic parts of this piece. Just remember, this cabinet is small in stature so making mistakes and changing your mind won’t cost a fortune so you can adjust this piece to your heart’s content.
Planning Lumber Layout
The look you want to give your cabinet starts at the lumber store. You should take your time and sift through the available stock, looking specifically for straight, tight grain or other patterns pleasing to the eye, doing your best to avoid knots, checks, and other defects.
