Broom Closet to Pantry

It's been quite a while since I posted anything here. Most of my time has been occupied with the little one that we brought into the world. That and working on projects around the house is not a comfortable in the winter, just too cold in the garage to work any amount of time.

I have been working with a friend from work on some pullout drawers that we are going to put in what used to be the broom closet. Considering this is my first real wood working project I am really happy with the way they are turning out so far.

We did one test drawer to see how it would look and fit etc. My friend did all the cutting etc and I was just the helper at this point.

My next visit he let me do all the cutting and setting up of he tools. This was the first time I ever used real wood tools.

It doesn't look like much but all the lumber was cut after the first visit.

The next visit is where they actually start to look like drawers. Had to do a dry fit to make sure things line up properly. 

Here is the rest of the pile that I need to go through and make sure they too fit as they should  They all went together as they should so I started gluing things together. 

Here is that first drawer glued and clamped. 

After some adjusting all the drawers ended up dead square. Not too shabby for a rookie. I was able to get them all glued and sanded, they are just waiting on their finish.

I will make sure to do another update next weekend after I get one of them finished.
