Well today I was setting up my new router table – which was given to me in pieces (minus instruction manual), well new is a relative term, as I have owned it for months but had too many other things on my ‘to do’ list. I was about to start making a set of cupboard doors for my Mum’s Birthday on the 20th. I was not feeling 100% but certainly well enough for some workshop therapy. I unpacked my new router and attached it to the router table. Next I inserted my ...
Finally getting the first pair pretty much done, just need to to do a little more sanding. I put the muttin bars all together and made them so I could set them in the back of the door after the door frame was already glued up. This first picture is of the last glue up putting them inside the door frame. The rest of the pictures are of the doors already hinged and hanging in the cabinet. There’s a wide gap between them right now. One door will have a style attached to it when its...
The bending form is complete (except for the ply skin to be added over the ribs). As is evident from the photos, I decided on the single door form. I think that this will be better overall. My only concern is building a jig to trim the doors on the table saw, but I will work it out. I built a nice jig for trimming the ribs on the router table, using a pattern bit (like a flush trim, but with the bearing on the shaft instead of the tip). It had toggle clamps and the works. Only when I ...
From my blog: This time I show how I made the frame and panel cabinet doors, with emphasis on the simple design elements that enhance their looks. For example, it is desirable to match the grain across the rails – and always keep track of which frame piece goes where ;-) . But the focus is on the bookmatched spalted maple panels. Clamped doors during dry fit, showing the grain continuity in the top rails: .
Hello everyone! Since I discovered Sketchup several years ago (I have been Skecthing since release 3..pre Google) I have spent a great deal of time watching tutorials and prowling through the forums trying to learn as much about this great software as I can! Since I have been a member here I have seen some great blogs by other members about Sketchup and how to use it, so I thought I would throw my hat in the ring! I see allot of people saying I wish I could use Sketchup better, or I gotta lea...
Some additional photos of the Living room and bar project Photo one shows the matching arches we did in the foyer. Photo two shows the custom bar stools the client had made. Photo three show the hand carved limestone and marble fireplace. Photo four shows the iron work added to the glass doors. Lee
I Feel Boxed In So without Kristin I headed to the shop. Big mistake.. I need to be double checked. Mistake 1: Above you can see that I cut the dovetails on the front of the drawers. Dovetails go on sides! Duh…. Now they are decorative box joints. I will pin for extra strength. Mistake 2: I did not chuck the bit tight. It slipped while cutting the dado for the drawer bottom. Here you can see the hole. I enlarged it for repair. (More on that later) A view of the d...
Under Pressure I don’t know about the rest of you, but glue up stresses me out. Even though we had dry fit the doors, I feel that time crunch as soon as I spread the glue. These doors are only held together by tiny tenons on the left and right beadboard pieces. The process Set out the clamps and separate the breadboard end to expose the tenons. Glue the tenons of the outer beadboard Clamp it Check for square by measuring across the diagonals Apply diagonal pressure if n...
