Front Cabinet Photos

Postby rainjer » Wed May 24, 2006 11:21 pm

Since the weather is crappy, I worked on the front cabinet the last couple evenings.

The right side will be a closet to hang coats & my hunting vests.
Image

I was able to put the trim around the closet opening in in one piece.
Image

I ran out of molding so I will finish it later.
Image

Notice the 12 volt outlet in the bottom area. That will be my power outlet for my C-pap machine.
Image

I built a wood frame & covered it with a piece of 1/8" cherry plywood. I am trimming the opening with 7/8" countertop edging. I plan on not putting doors on this cabinet.

Sorry about he bad pictures, poor lighting & taking pictures with a digital video camera is not the best combo.

Looks great! They way you have the shelves positioned, it looks like the frame will hold the contents in place just fine.

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

I am not a big fan. I can't seem to get the drill jig to repeat to proper angle. Some of the screw head stick out above the face & some don't. It could be the operator. 8)

For my hardwood face frames I will use my biscuit cutter, glue & clamp them.

Are you using the Kreg Jig? It's the best portable one.

Any of y'all using a Torx screw in construction? If you haven't tried 'em, you should! Not only won't they strip out like a Phillips head, but you can drive one o' them babies right through a 2X4, even with a battery-driven drill. I am a carpenter and have built entire projects with them.
