So I started Phase II this weekend. I wasn't happy with the shoe moulding on the bottom. When I was sanding I had a black streak of sap wood appear. I made a 2nd layer of moulding which I think added to the visual interest. I cut, routered and mounted the butcher block top to the base unit.

Cut all the 22.5 angles and glued up the vertical stiles. Started the layout for the upper cabinet today. I cut all the rails and I'm getting ready to cut the rabbets for the back and make the top for the upper cabinet. More pics to follow

Thanks for Looking

WOW… Ken… There is MORE?!

I thought that was it… Just the base… a Fancy island, against the wall, for food preparation, etc. on a Butcher Top cutting board!

That is going to LOOK just AWESOME!!

I am eagerly waiting to see MORE!

Hey, that Martini party sounds good too! :)

Nice going…

So, I guess you removed the molding that covered that Black Boot mark… How did you fix it? Sand it, Route it OUT?

COOL project!

Thx all. Joe, I wrapped another layer of moulding around the base. I made it on the router table. Came up 3/4 of the old moulding, this cover the spot and gave it more visual interest.

Making progress.

Phase 3 taking shape.

Property Wood Shelving Floor Flooring

Wood Table Shelf Wood stain Shelving


It's phase 3 and it is starting to look like a cabinet lol. We got the top, bottom and shelf in and secured. Made the arched lower rail as well. The supports for under the shelf have been made and glued/nailed in and need to be sanded. Blondie didn't want pins or adjustable shelves. Her cabinet right lol. The center stile has been fitted but needs sanding and pocket holed. I have rough cut and fit the back into the rabbet as well.

Today the crown moulding will be going on and some sanding will continue. She's still deciding on the back splash as of now. So if bought maple plywood for now. Might start making the doors today as well…

Phase IV Crown moulding

Phase IV
This phase consisted of sanding and installing the center stile for the upper cabinet. Then I needed to make some small supports for the back of the shelf's, to ensure there would be no sagging over the yrs. l then filled in the Brad nails holes and sanded some more.

Now to the Crown Moulding which I love doing. With that said, we all know it can be very time consuming to get it right. Because we chose to make a Neo-angle cabinet, we had a few more cuts at 22.5 degrees compared to the normal 45 degree cuts. We all have the best intentions when making a project and sometimes the results are frustrating. The Crown took me 3-4 hours, but I think the results we pretty good. ( I didn't have to go back for more moulding,,, yea!!!!!!!! LOL ).....

Phase V will be making doors.

Making the Raised Panel doors.

As Christmas quickly approaches I've been scrambling to get 12 cutting boards order's done along with working.

Southern California has been colder than normal for the last cpl weeks. Of course, I realize were spoiled and it's not really cold compare to other areas. We have been in the low 40's and 50's thus creating the salad bowl finish taking alot longer to set up than normal. I was forced to bring the boards inside the sports room to finish them up. Blondie loves this, lol.

Sorry I was rambling,,,,, I cut and routered the lower cabinets 4 rasied panel doors. I used Summerfeld's raised panel router bit set that I have owned for a few yrs now. I am a big fan of there items. I bought the easy-set which has made set up a breeze and cuts alot of time normally wasted on set-up.

I've dry fitted the doors and have a cpl small adjustments and final sanding to do. We haven't come up with a color yet on the stain for this project which puts me on hold for putting the doors together. I need to stain the raised panels before assembly due to expansion and contraction preventing unfinished wood showing its evil eye.

Friday I received summerfeld's glass door router bit set. I really like what they came up with on how the glass panel is locked in placed with a rubber grommet then snaps in. I've done doors with small moulding holding the glass in as well as the clips. When I watched the video I was like this is what I want to do on the glass doors for the upper cabinet.

Well time to get off the couch and play in the woodshop some, the smiles are my way of marking the faces. Shop teacher taught me this in high school.

Thx for looking all comments are welcome.

Doors fitted, seal coat & staining. #5

Hard to believe it's been almost a month since my last post. I didn't get as much shop time as I hoped through the holidays. Working for a shipping company, I ended up working the holidays because of extra flights and work assigned to the Aircraft. No complaints though, it allows me to buy tools…It's why we work right?

The panels of the doors got a 50/50 mix of seal coat and denatured alcohol and lightly sanding with 220 grit, then stain before assembly. We came up with a color Blondie liked after many tests. Ended up with 2 parts pickerd oak & 1 part cherry. She wants it to show the grain of the maple with a slight golden tone. With whitewashed maple cabinets in the kitchen she wanted something close, but different as well. To me that's a funny statment. It's like we have the same cars however mine is a Chevy yours is a ford..

Being I choose soft close inset doors that took more time to get fitted and adjusted. Overlay doors is so much faster. As my pops says, "the fussy work"...love that saying. Once I fitted took doors took the hinges back off and sanded doors and cabinet to 320 grit. We all love sanding right? Ugh…...Sprayed seal coat & stain on the base inside and out as well. Today I'll start spraying the lacquer on the base.

Blondie decided for a little, contrast on the bases counter top. I used 50/50 of provincial and mahogany stain. I was nervous about his but in the end I think it gives it some visual interest and just enough contrast. The walls in the kitchen are dark brown. Blondie hates white wall, says they're boring. We know who is in charge right? Lol….

Some final sanding on the top and cuttinfg & tweaking of the 2 glass doors, then I'm ready to seal coat and stain as well. Finally feel like I'm getting there.

Thx for looking all comment welcome.

Home stretch, few details left

Well between work, cutting boards and chores I've finally made it too the home stretch of Blondie's Martini cabinet.

I got both backs mounted to the upper and lower cabinets, I mounted, drilled and ran the wires for the LED lighting. I didn't like the silver bars even though there small, so I made thin maple stripes to cover them. I stained and finished then glued them to the lights, much better look.

Mounted the other door handles, they are pewter martini glasses, the bottoms are shakers I found on EBAY.

I found a pop up power strip for the cabinet, this is really cool. I drilled a 3 inch hole on the counter to mount it once the boss told me where she wanted it. When not in use it retracts, the have them with USB's as well. We have a docking station so I decided we didn't need that. It has 3 plugs on it.

I've made all the doors including the glass ones, a first for me. I got them all fitted in and adjusted which we all know takes time. I used a nickel for spacing, to allow for expansion and contraction. We're moving to Seattle in a cpl yrs and expect more movement than here in Southern California.

Blondie wanted a SS backsplash, so off I went to the metal yard. I bought a piece of 22 Ga brushed stainless steel. 59 X 24. Yesterday I glued it in place and and a buddy helped me lift it back up on the counter. It's pretty heavy Blondie has done it but don't like it lol

I need to screw down the top and put the bottom trim moulding on. Then drill a small hole in the upper corner of the stainless steel for the dimmer swithch and final rub out and we done.

Thx for looking and help gentleman were almost there.
