Philco 20 Cabinet Reproduction
#1

I have been thinking about making a 20 cabinet for sometime. The biggest holdup has been trying to figure a way to cut the scroll in the front panel. The only way that I could think of was an over arm pin router. I couldn't afford to buy one so, I took an old cheep Black and Decker router that I have had for years and made one. It's a little crude but it works pretty well.

And the finished front panel.

It may be a while before we have a complete cabinet. I still have to grind a set of shaper knives to make the base moulding.
