My goal was to create a free standing cabin for a particular corner of our dining room \/ kitchen area. I modeled up the walls around the area and designed the cabinet around that. Initially, I was trying to maximize the available space, and had one side be longer than another, but I wanted to create a cabinet that I could move to any house and still have it fit in with everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary wood is cherry, something that is a somewhat affordable hardwood here on the West Coast of California, and the accent wood panels behind the vertical pieces is maple. Over time, the cherry is going to darken a lot, and the color difference between the cherry and maple will get more pronounced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The inspiration for this design came heavily from George Nakashima. He is a famous woodworker who has influenced many people over the years. I took the vertical slat design element from some of his pieces and used it for the door and side panels. I also added a few curves that have a slight Japanese architecture influence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like a lot of my projects, I&#8217;m sharing the build files for this. Click on the link below to download the free CAD file and &#8220;Plans&#8221; for how I made it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-corbin-039-s-workshop wp-block-embed-corbin-039-s-workshop\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"mGCxCQzh0A\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.corbinsworkshop.com\/shop\/digital-file-corner-cabinet-cad-file-rough-plans\/\">Digital File: Corner Cabinet CAD File &#038; Rough Plans<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Digital File: Corner Cabinet CAD File &#038; Rough Plans&#8221; &#8212; Corbin&#039;s Workshop\" src=\"https:\/\/www.corbinsworkshop.com\/shop\/digital-file-corner-cabinet-cad-file-rough-plans\/embed\/#?secret=Mn8YbEktyx#?secret=mGCxCQzh0A\" data-secret=\"mGCxCQzh0A\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I use the term &#8220;plans&#8221; rather loosely, as I just printed up the bare minimum of what I needed to figure out how to build stuff. I would sometimes reference the CAD file in Fusion 360 when I had some questions on how something was supposed to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was a difficult piece for me to design, and I&#8217;m not sure how it will do as time progresses. Wood moves, and you need to account for it in the design, and I just wasn&#8217;t sure how to do that for a triangle-shaped corner cabinet. I did research a lot about it, but I couldn&#8217;t find any definite answer on how to do things&#8230;so I just made it up. I did the basic things you&#8217;d normally do: the door and side panels are &#8220;floating&#8221; and not glued in, and I left enough space for them to expand and contract. The top piece is not glued on, and I used wood &#8220;buttons&#8221; with elongated screw holes to let movement happen without cracking wood. The back panels of the carcass are solid wood, and I didn&#8217;t want them to move too much and cause issues, so I left a 1\/16&#8243; of a gap between the two on the backside where they meet. I think this will work&#8230;but we&#8217;ll see!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the joinery is &#8220;traditional&#8221; mortise and tenon cut with non traditional means: the CNC machine. I also borrowed a a fancy Festool biscuit joiner (called a Domino) and used it for some stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First off, check out the build video: The Corner Cabinet &#8211; CNC Woodworking Fine Furniture I finished this project about a month ago, but I never got around to posting it to my website.
