Just a video post today, about planing the odd-shaped five-sided rear stiles to the upper case. Here’s a sketch of the plan of the upper case – and in it you can see the cross-section of those stiles, both front & rear. All the rails have 90-degree shoulders, so the stiles are shaped to create the three-sided overall format.
Here’s both the front & rear stiles, next step for these will be mortising.
here goes.

PETER FOLLANSBEE: JOINER’S NOTES 
Beautiful work. I didn’t realize there were multiple examples of that same cabinet. I just assumed they were all one-offs.
Well – they are all one-offs. Each one is different. They share many traits, but never repeat the whole thing. You can see many of them, maybe all of them, (& several chests of drawers) in the article I worked on with Bob Trent & Alan Miller in 2001’s American Furniture http://www.chipstone.org/article.php/554/American-Furniture-2001/First-Flowers-of-the-Wilderness:-Mannerist-Furniture-from-a-Northern-Essex-County,-Massachusetts,-Shop-
Such interesting furniture forms. I like the repeated use of turned elements and the color contrast. Thanks for the interesting blog posts and videos!
