Craftsman Bungalow Restoration #19: Must... make ...doors ...fit.

If you remember the last time I fit the doors in…..

They were all dinged up and “beyond repair.”

Well a hammer and saw later(see last blog) and they were ready to stain.

Procedure: Washcoat, two coats gel stain, shellac, poly.

FrankenHinges
Nothing comes easy around here. I knew the shape of the original hinges but could not find a supplier. So I order two different types of hinges from rejuvenation…

Check out the video of how I mixed the two hinges. Not rocket science.

Gramp’s metal vice put to good use.

The custom hinge.

Mr. Five Hour Installer
These doors took forever to install. Nothing was square!

Finished Shot of the sad doors seen above….. Wait for it….

Sweet home Alabama!

Here they are with the “new” cabinets I made.

The other side
Here is the other upper cabinet in process

No doors= bad idea = messy = I was hungry all the time looking at the food.

Shims in place. These doors are evil.

Oh yeah.

Last shot at the hinge

Next time
Can you say custom fridge panels?
