Default Oak File Cabinet

Another project from Woodsmith magazine. I'm very happy with the way this simple project came out. The only flaw in the plans are for the drilling of the handle holes. I found that you're better off drilling much larger clearance holes for the screw heads (like one inch), otherwise no matter how careful you are they will not line up. Also, the file hanger hardware source is may too expensive. I ordered better hardware from http://wwhardware.com online (not shown in pictures). Otherwise, it's a great project and an interesting look for the home office. Now maybe I can get organized!!

Default Finish

The finish is Winwax Golden Oak stain with five coats of their Wipe-on poly finish (gloss). It's a very nice color on red oak.

Hey Knot,
Nice job, cabinet looks great. I like the way the drawer fronts look like four smaller drawers.
