Commissioned cabinet

Project by roundabout22 posted 810 days ago 598 views 0 times favorited 10 comments Add to Favorites Watch

My uncle is remodeling a rental house. He asked my dad if he would build him a cabinet for the bathroom to replace what was there. My dad didn’t feel like it was something he had the energy to do (unfortunately he is going older and has some health problems), so my mom suggested my uncle call me. I had time on my hands (school was out for the summer, and my summer job was only part time), so I said okay.

The Cabinet is 36 inches wide, 44 inches tall, and 10 inches deep. He wanted all the doors to be left hand so they could be accessed from the sink. Since he is going to paint it, and wanted to keep cost down, I made it completely out of plywood, and used veneer tape on the edges.

Really good result, especially considering you were going for economy. How are the doors constructed? I can’t quite tell from the photos.

Charlie, I teach school, and have access to the wood shop. The doors are frame and panel.

Good job! Sounds like it fulfilled the requirements and was a good opportunity to hone your woodworking skills.

I was at school and rushed when I wrote that last post. The part about school matters because I used it’s shop, and on the doors specifically I used the shaper. It made it easy, just one quick, but carefull push through per stick and the job was done.
