In an earlier post I showed a cabinet I “built” using eCabinet Systems software, to match the design of an existing Krenov cabinet.

In this episode I show the changes I have made to the same cabinet, to adapt the design to something my client has in mind. Other than editing the video to remove long pauses, I show the modifications to the cabinet to:

  1. Add shelves and partitions
  2. Change the size of the boards I imported – I show the “cuts” made to fit the space available
  3. Additional changes to achieve a more balanced design

On purpose, I left in the video mistakes I made while using the software. Let me know if you catch them :) . I left these in to show how easy it is to recover from a mistake – it is easy to forget specific steps if one has not used the software for some time.

To keep things moving and to keep you from getting (too) bored, I sped up the video by a factor of 3. I also did not narrate the video, to prevent additional boredom. Instead, I used sub-titles to describe what was happening.
