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 work was done with the 12mm single bevel straight chisel.

The last part, the door.
The blank face frame mortised together and ready for detail work.
Rosehead cut nails as I used in the project and a hand-forged hammer 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 groves that form the basis of the bead molding.
