Furniture Lab Tech Cabinet Part 2
John Tetreault, Associate Art Director 8 users recommend 
To cut the through-tenons on the shelves I simply clamped all of them together and used a hand saw to define the cheeks.

A router made quick work of removing the waste between the tenon cheeks.
John Tetreault
When routing out the waste I nicked one of the tenons. If these were regular tenons the nick would have been hidden in the mortise, but since they are through-tenons and will be seen, I picked a similar grain from a scrap piece and made a tenon plug of sorts.
John Tetreault
The scrub plane sure is a fun tool to use. I adjusted the blade to take shallow cuts and deliberately lined up the scalloping with the grain for all shelves. This texture will compliment the weathered texture of the case sides.
John Tetreault
I marked the shelf through-tenons on the case sides and then drilled tiny holes at the four corners of the mortise location.
John Tetreault
From the exterior of the case sides I used a forstner bit to drill out most of the waste and then carefully squared up the mortise with a chisel.
John Tetreault
I cut slots on all the shelf tenons where wedges will be added later. After test fitting all the shelves, I disassembled everything and added glue to the shelf dados and a little drop on each of the tenon cheeks. Lots of clamps and cauls pulled it all together and one long clamp on opposite corners held the case square.
John Tetreault
I cut the dovetails for the top purposely a little tight, so no clamps were needed once it was tapped in place. You can get away with this on a softwood like pine, but I wouldnt recommend using this technique with hardwoods.

Furniture Lab Tech Cabinet - Part II
Follow along as Fine Woodworking associate art director John Tetreault constructs a cabinet using reclaimed materials found during our recent trek to southern Massachusetts.
Things are really beginning to speed up at this point of the Tech Cabinet build. The dados for the shelves have been cut in the case sides and the dovetails have been cut to accept the top. Next, I broke out the scrub plane to surface the interior shelves. The undulating surface that the scrub plane produces mimics the weathered exterior boards of the case sides. Browse through the photos above, where I show you how I made the through-tenons on the shelves and a little trick to cut mortises on the case sides when you want to keep the original patina of the wood.
Once the shelves were done, I was ready for the case glue-up. It was a little tricky with all those through-tenons, but I tackled the case first and then tapped home the dovetails on the top.
Ill be back next week, with the conclusion of the project and plenty of final beauty shots!

visualization model making and digital fabrication classes 2 3
saturday was the last class for my green mountain college students above. i thank trevor for helping me to pull this off. i had no idea teaching a one credit course in something that we do all the time would be the challenge that it turned out to be. of course, i didnt anticipate on the fact that both trevor and i would have to learn at least the basics of importing files from the 3d program google sketchup to our toolpathing program, or that since these werent our ideas, in our language, we would have to get into thinking about their projects from their points of view ... anyway, we made it through and got all but one japanese puzzle box project pretty much finished. i think we all learned something ... i for one, learned that 15 kids in a class with five different projects is fun, but a lot of work ... i had to have a nap when they all left ..click the photos to enlarge them ...
chessboard concept, above and below
during the second class at gmc, we got to see and use lucass one sheet design tables that we cut on the cnc for him back in january ... (scroll way down) .. they worked great, both as singles and arranged in a block to form larger work areas ... very clever design .. 
the photos above are from the second class on march 24th at the on campus design studio. in that class, the groups finalized their project choices and they all worked up a rough cardboard mockup that explored their paper based ideas. that was fun
and while we were there, we got to see another design class project ... i forget the technical name, but it is on the line of the micro houses you may have seen in the news .. very cool ...
i wish i had had more time to take photos as the models progressed, but i didnt ... the group above learned that they had to do a little more research on angles and dimensions for comfortable seating ...
and the boys above had to do a little more research into lighting ...
there were adjustments on the fly that trevor handled with ease ...
the puzzle box required some fussy assembly and we came up a little short on getting that one working ... well make some revised pieces and send them up so it can be finished ...
im pretty sure a good time was had by all ...
