Well, not going to work these days means I spend alot of time in the shop, which is not all bad.
Got all the face frames on the cases and filling in all the nail holes, screw holes, and trying to make it smooth and pretty.
Have shelves in all the cases that will get shelves and put the drawers in yesterday to see how it all looks.
The face frame on the cabinet where the drawers go was too wide, so the top drawer would not go in. After a little attitude adjustment and changing the size of that face frame, all the drawers are installed and sliding good
Still need to do drawers for the bottom two left cabinets that will hold toys. Those drawers will be really short, with out much in the way of sides. Bought some more poplar for that today, so should be able to start on those soon.
The top three shelves on the left side, plus the end cabinet will all be opened, with no doors. Have some small hockey puck sized lights to shine on the objects being displayed. Don't want to put the lights in until the oil and on and the cabinets are "finished". Drilled the holes and ran string where the wiring will go once the finish is on.
That was quite the adventure. The outlet box and transformer will go in the top, left cabinet. I drilled a hole through the top of the EC and thought I would put a nut on a string and push it through the hole. I planned to use one of those long handles, with grippers to grab the nut and pull it to the hole in the top of each cabinet.
I put the long handle back to snag the nug and I heard "click". The long handle had a magnet on the end, that I did not realize. It snagged the nut and I could move it where ever I wanted to. Made the job quite easy.
Picked up the custom made glass shelves today from the glass shop. Those look really good. The edges are beveled and the glass looks sharp.
