Office cabinet and shelves

From idea to plans to the finished result.

I made a desk cabinet and matching shelves for Heidi using birch plywood, finished with a durable melamine lacquer.

The project started with sketches and detailed plans.

Followed by cutting all panels to their final dimensions.

For the shelf pin holes, I used a guide rail to ensure perfectly straight and consistent hole lines.

All joints were made with Festool Domino connectors, providing strong and precise connections while keeping the assembly clean and accurate.

After assembly, the cabinet and shelves were sanded and finished with several coats of melamine lacquer for a smooth and hard-wearing surface.

A satisfying project from the first idea to the final installation.

Panettone stand

This panettone holder is made from wood.

I had already built the dough board last year, and its dimensions turned out to be perfect for supporting a panettone.

The two uprights were quickly added using Festool Domino joinery.

Ironically, the woodworking was the easy part—the panettone itself took far longer, requiring two nights and a day and a half to complete.

Enjoy!
