- Ambry Project in Process
Close up of the bead profile. The profile is ¾" wide and initially defined by 2 groves 1/16" in width and 3/16" deep. Then the bead itself is formed with a block plane and a hollow plane to give the rounded over profile.
Front view of carcass with back attached
Back view of carcass with back attached. The backboards are ½" thick yellow pine boards with ½" rabbets on alternating edges and installed with ¼" overlap. This will keep any gaps from appearing if the wood shrinks and still have room if they expand without busting apart the carcass.
Rear view of carcass before the back was attached. Note that the shelves are inset ½" to leave room for the backboards. That keeps them from showing from the side.
A selection of my chisels and rasps for this project. Most of the work was done with the 1/12e (Pfiel 12mm single bevel straight chisel). Some of the corner elements were set in with the 3/20 and 3/25 shallow gouges. Some cleanup was done with the knife and the 2/8 (8mm very shallow gouge). As soon as the cutting resistance started climbing, it was time to strop the chisel using the black block (about every 5-10 min of carving).

Carving the door. This was the final panel and went much more quickly than the others. Also shown here the hand-forged hinges that will attach the door to the main carcass.
The blank face frame mortised together and ready for detail work.
Some of the (Tremont Nail Co.) 8dRosehead cut nails as I used in the project and the hand-forged hammer I used to drive them home.
The hollow plane I used to form the bead molding.
Cleaning up the saw cuts with a rasp. Working vertically with a 2-handed grip helped a lot.
I used this router plane setup to plow the grooves that form the basis of the bead molding.
