Dining Room Cabinets

OH The pictures come in too small! From what I can see you really had a big project going!
Looks like your skills paid off. Congrats!

Fred,

They look very nice, they compliment the wood floor. Great work….

Fred are the glass doors a single piece of glass or do you have multiple pieces in each door.

Fred,

I love the link from the Blog to the Project and vice versa! Nice writing touch.

The cabinets look great, too. What would you say your total time on the project was?

-- Ethan, http://greystonegreen.blogspot.com/

That way you get to increase your count in both Blogs and in Projects. Dennis would love that. LOL

I was wondering why the pix were so itty bitty.

I’ve not seen “blow-up” photos that were smaller than the “thumbnails” before. Must be something in the computer coding that didn’t work right for you. Martin can help you with it. From what I can see, the work looks great.

Yahoo – I fixed the pictures.

The glass doors are not true divided light. There is one pane of glass in the doors.

I probably spent about 60 hours on this project.

Yeah, “blow-up” photos smaller than the “thumbnails”. I couldn’t have done that if I tried. But I went back and removed the photos and uploaded them again. It seemed to have worked.

Fred the cabinet work is great! Outstanding job here. Just did my own tile top, isn’t it fun? The finish on these cabinets really shine. Nice wine cabinet. (Make your own?) Wonderful work Fred!

Are the cabinets standard depth? I am interested in the wine storage. How did you build those brackets.

Panama Jack – I love doing tile work. I made a rolling cabinet type cart with a tile top that I can roll outside.

Giz – I decided on the depth of the upper and lower cabinets by measuring my kitchen cabinets that were made by a professional cabinet maker. So, I guess they are standard depth.

I used a bottle of wine to trace a basic shape for the wine holders. Then I measured the inside of the cabinets and made a template for the width. I transferred the shape to the template and cut it out. I then used the template to mark the holders, the jig saw to get near the line and a flush trim router bit to finish it. I used the same size for the front and back. The racks are 5 high in the cabinet. So the cabinet used 10. I have 3 cabinets for wine storage so I made 30. I still have the template.

The wine is blocked from the sun and to great temperature variations, so it works well. I don’t need temperature controlled wine cabinets.
