Fisher Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 The trim is put on, the screws are all sunk; Put on right, once. Gorilla’s strong gunk. The Weißen is gone, the day is at hand; The putty is drying, awaiting the sand. One thing today, that was not on the list: Abiding with family; four I had missed. They stayed the whole aft; our visit was gran’. My heart is now soothed. I am a rich man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisher Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) After talking with the woodworker in our extended family, I'm going to dispense with the no-hinge removable door (on both cabinets), in favor of hidden hinges. I'm in and out of the cabinet often enough that removing the door each time is a nuisance. Edited February 22, 2015 by Fisher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Since the weather is about as dependable as a @%*^! with a #^%& in the toaster, I decided to stain this thing in the basement instead of taking it outside. Turned on the furnace fan and no ill-effects to report (so far). My wife is baking a Cinnamon Bun Cake, and I'm thinking about putting the all-seasons on the truck. :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisher Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I stalled out after staining the cabinet. In order to use concealed hinges on the door, which I made out of 3/8" plywood, I have to put a false frame on the inside face of the door to accomodate cup holes. Cutting the cup holes are the biggest obstacle. A forstner bit, and a jig, maybe a drill press... which another woodworker in our family happens to have Plus, I only have the edge of a 2x4 to screw the hinge to the cabinet. So I expect to add a 1x3 plate to the cabinet for that purpose. I won't stain the door and varnish everything until the door is ready to install. sigh.

Fisher Posted June 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Nice work! Post up pics of the finished product Thanks! Final photos of Cabinet #1 will be at the end of this thread. Cabinet #2 is simply the 2nd verse; same as the first. So when it's in place and tank #2 is running, I'll post a final photo of the whole living room wall. Life got busy and I have yet to deal with the new door design. So I'm reverting back to Plan A and I'll deal with the door modification as a retrofit on both cabinets. Cabinet #2 is stained, varnished, and ready to bring upstairs. Its door is trimmed to size and ready for stain. So I'll probably get to the door later.
