parillaworks This was a rather ambitious project but you created a beautiful and functional piece of furniture. When I visited Japan some years ago, I purchased a “tansu” (Japanese chest). It had 3 sections which resembled steps on a stairway. Each “step” had 4 small silk-lined drawers which is used to store my jewellery. Thank you for giving me a glimpse of wonderful craftsmanship and artistry. Ysabeau T.
I taught junior high Industrial Arts "back in the day" and always tried to impress upon my young students the concept of "Create an Heirloom," no matter whether the project was a bird feeder, boot jack, or nice wall cabinet for Mother. Watching you spend such care in all the details...and planning out your work so effectively...really made me proud. So, I'm sending my major high fives from here in Mississippi, coupled with highest compliments on a job well done. It is quite fabulous that you did not succumb to the "rush to the finish" mentality. Rather, you were meticulous in your steps, taking care to get things right as you went--and planning how to accomplish other goals while a portion of the project was underway. Now that you're finished, I know you swell with pride each time you walk past this cabinet, knowing that your heart and soul went into it--and that this cabinet will be around for utility by your great-grandchildren. CREATE an HEIRLOOM!
Hi Larry. I really appreciate your comment. We have this cabinet in the entryway of our house and I use it every single day (top right drawer holds our dog's leash). I'm proud of it and hope it will be used for many years to come. I think your concept of "Create an Heirloom" is a good one. Thanks for sharing :)
Great job! As for the mistakes, I still make them after 40 yrs as a full time cabinetmaker.I always remember what I was told as an apprentice. "you know you have mastered your trade when you can fix your mistakes without the boss knowing!
It‘s a beautiful piece. The errors you point out are not something anyone else would notice - but they‘re the same types of errors I make, so it helps me realize that when other people look at something I‘ve made, they probably don‘t see those errors either!
I sometimes think that being a skilled carpenter requires quite a large percentage of fixing quirks, mistakes, flaws in the wood, mess-ups and general misbehavior of mind, fingers, tools and whatever else goes into a project like this. I really like your attitude and honesty about it. That’s where we learn. I guess we should all love our mistakes, haha!! Or at least learn how to control the odd vent of anger and frustration like you do. Excellent job!
It came out very nice. Your recovery from the out of square issues was a sign of experienced knowledge. And showing those of less experience how to use different processes to make a hard job easier is thoughtful.
Thanks Michael. I didn't do it for the first small one I made earlier this year and regretted that. So I made sure to do it this time.

A stunning piece & one that separates the amateur from the employed carpenter for sure. There are few items of more complexity than a Credenza or apothecary cabinet. I once knew a guy who'd built a puzzle compendium stand for a small child in his family...its levels of trickery blew the mind. I've been a carpenter/joiner since school, 30 years back & still I marvel at the skills available with modern & affordable space & tooling these days, its so great to see people toiling away in their own workshop.
Dear, I must tell you that I have rarely enjoyed a carpentry video as much as with this one. You are very skilled and the furniture is perfect. Buenos Aires Argentina
Just wanted to say thank you. I watched your video multiple times before starting on my apothecary drawer cd holder for my wife. Even tho i changed all the measurements, and did thru dovetail joints for the outside case and half blind dovetails for the drawers watching your video made me believe i could pull the project off. It isn't finished yet but is far enough along i can see the end in site. So thanks again for the great video.
Hey Nathan. I really appreciate your comment. It's great to hear that you're taking on such a project. I'm sure your wife will love it. If you don't mind, send me some finished pictures; I'm interested to see how it turns out. Have a nice weekend!
Thanks for including the mistake recoveries. As a beginning woodworker, I'm sure I'll be making lots of teachable moments and seeing how to recover from them is super helpful!
Thanks! Ya I agree. I was talking to my wife about this after we got it moved into the house. I keep going back and forth on how I feel about the exposed pine. Looking back, it would've been very simple to just make those solid sapele.
I love the matching grain. I think it's hard to combine woods, some combinations are definitely better than others. I always think of pine as "informal" and tighter grain, dark woods, as more "formal". So I try not to combine formal and informal woods. But this is just one way of looking at it. You might consider just painting the pine black or charcoal gray. Or even a black toner to let some grain show through. But that is best done with spraying. You could try some black paper to cover the pine to see if you like it first. Just wondering if the sapele holds its color in time? I know a lot of exotic redish woods sometimes turn gray or loose the red. I know how much work you put into this piece and video, they are both awesome, great job.
Thank you Tom! You're right, there's a lot going on that can be complicated. And what isn't complicated might be simple but there's a lot of it (ie tons of drawer parts).
High functioning art. Well done! Clean lines, smooth open/close action. Most of all just attention to detail and consistency throughout the project. Wow!
Hi John I just found your channel, and getting back into woodworking after a long career in metal fabricating. I'm planning on using all of what I know and most of the building mediums to make beautiful one off things for people who can't and will appreciate them, teach older kids and young adults how to do the same and share our faith at the same time. So, you're helping me help them... Thank you
Hi Brady. I really appreciate your comment. It's great to hear about what you're doing. I'm glad some of my work could be of some help to you and your students. Take care and good luck!
Glad you bought more clamps! I've seen a beautiful antique set of apothecary drawers with over 100 drawers. Each drawer was a unique size so it could not be put back in the wrong place!
That is BEAUTIFUL bro love the sapele and ash color collab.looks great!. And the grain flow looks awesome! And that's a good idea using those 2 pieces at a 90 degree butt joints for glue ups @10:33 happy holidays 🍻
parillaworks always bro! Yea I've already made like 6 from some scrap plywood I had ..gonna come in handy for all the cutting boards I have to make in the next few days! And thanks bro!
Why can't all suggested channels lead me to something like this. Absolutely fantastic John :) It has inspired me to plan something similar for a herb and spice cabinet but on a smaller scale. I love the choice of woods that you have selected for this. Thank you ॐ
Nice job and thank you for your honesty about your mistakes you made... There are a lot of folks on TH-cam that won't admit to any mistake and I think that's not right.
I'm imagining the smell of freshly cut wood...whatever kind it is! It's like freshly cut grass...or better still bread just out of the oven! Beautiful piece of furniture! Best wishes from Lisbon Portugal
Your use of the grain in this piece makes the artistic value of this more valuable than the utility would indicate. You do incredibly beautiful work which anyone who has an eye for 19th century antiques and also an appreciation of modern art or design would love... I can think of so many people in and around Greenville South Carolina - Asheville North Carolina area who would love to collect some of your furniture. ***Incredible*** the way your eye moves around the initial interpretation is that the individual drawers are not square, when realizing they are square the grain takes over and gives the illusion everything is on the grain pattern, Flowing, only when reaching the top of the piece do I then realize the entire cabinet is square
Just completed a very similar project for a mail pigeon hole cabinet. I wish I had watched your video beforehand as it would have save some head scratching. Managed to hold my measurements square by using a story board although manual alignment of slot routing alignment took far longer than it should. Will use a standard spacer next time. Great final finish, well done.
Oh my goodness, that was impressive! I know I’m a crazed perfectionist when it comes to doing what l love. “Homemade wood-filler”? You’re the man! Your Apothecary Cabinet was simply stunning! I’m so thrilled TH-cam recommend your Channel, I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Nice work! I appreciate how you discuss the potential for error when you were routing the dadoes! Lessons we learn as we create. By the way, I also use pipe clamps, and one handy way to have a very long clamp available when needed is to have a threaded coupler so you can join two pieces of pipe together to make a longer clamp without having to keep a bunch of heavy pieces of pipe around the shop.
It amazes me, when I see such beautiful work, then see that 11 people gave it a thumbs down. Now, I know that is less than 1%, but seriously, who could dislike this, it is phenomenal work!
Really enjoyed your video. I appreciate the honesty in your explanation of lessons learned. Foundational jigs that remove the possibility of error are essential to repetitive construction like this. You made a beautiful piece and a well produced video. If ever a man deserved a Domino mortiser it's you! I'll second the comment about making the open spaces out of solid Sapelle. I feel lucky that my TV suggested your video otherwise I may have never seen it. Good job.
Very, very, nice. I really feel for you wrt the errors that you shared with us. Those mistakes will only serve to improve your skill and awareness. I also admire you in the fact that your garage is not full of the most expensive kit, but where it matters you have some nice gear. Keep it up. A great family heirloom. (one little tip: use tape to mask off areas adjacent where you are applying any filler....it makes the cleaning up later much easier !)
Very nice job. unless anyone has tackled a project like this one or smaller it is a lot of work. in all projects especially the more complicated one such as this or even a screw box there is a ton of work involved and rarely does it all go completely without some oversight that can be fixed but always leave the craftsman a bit downhearted..BRAVO my man you did a very nice job, it looks GREAT.
Dude, sick! Gorgeous. And I love that you were open and honest about mistakes n things you'd correct going forward. THIS is what youtube is about. Keep up the great work...truly INSPIRATIONAL
I have watched quite a few of your videos now and I must say you have inspired me to branch out with my projects. Your dedication to accuracy and detail is commendable , love your work and videos
Hi. I used these pine panels before. I failed to do a moisture check on them and one year after making the steps for some kids the pine panels began to split. I hope yours works out better. Great piece. Thanks for sharing the video.
I think you did an excellent job. You show what can still be accomplished by hobby woodworkers with only limited tools and equipment capability. Will check out your other videos and subscribe. Thanks for sharing the project.👍
Nicely done once again. I do prefer the size of that last apothecary cabinet that you made but this one was also a nice learning experience for you. Thanks for sharing.
Nailed it with the sapele fronts! Great looking cabinet. Saw your dowel jig; I'm putting together a solid mahogany credenza, the Festool Domino is game changer!! Used a plywood jig to reference the domino off of each side of the top/bottom of dividers, came out perfect. yet I didn't do 21 dividers!!! Crazy. Love it. Great project.
Thanks Mark. I've used a domino one time when I first started woodworking and it was a pleasure to use. I've wanted to buy one but I haven't been able to justify the cost...yet! The dowelmax was the middle ground I came up with.
