Did a nice job, Bent. Looks like it will fit the bill. Nice design. Now get a finish on it. Thanks for the post.

Simple yet a lot of eye candy, good job. I like the trim piece between the top and bottom half. Did you mill that yourself? I bet your friend will be pleased. Will you be my friend? 8>)

Hi Bent,

Neat!

I think I have the general idea how pocket doors are constructed but I would greatly appreciate a little more elaboration. Like which part of the fabrication gave you the “pain”. ;-). I am thinking of making one for house.

Thanks.

Bent,

This is a nice piece. You did a good job on it. Adding the pocket doors, while a challenge to install, gives the cabinet a nice look.

Well done.

thanks for the compliments guys.

bill, this piece was sold as unfinished. the customer was very particular about what color stain she wanted, plus i don’t like staining. we decided it would be better to let her do it herself.

rico, what made this difficult was figuring out how to make the hardware work for this project. the door slides are made by accuride, and are pretty heavy duty. however, they are designed for use with european overlay hinges. the system is supposed to mount to the cabinet carcass side with the hinges mounting directly to the slides and the cabinet doors extending to the edge of the cabinet sides. if you plan on building a cabinet with this system, i recommend doing it that way (as it is designed). the piece i built has a face frame and inset doors. to do this, i mounted a board the same length as the cabinet door height sideways against the door slides. i then mounted the doors to this board with butt hinges. this way, everything on the cabinet front is flush to the face. i hope this helps with your project. i think it’s worth the extra effort to add this feature, because it really grabs people’s attention when they see it in action. good luck!

very nice!!!
