Cabinets

[niki]

Designed by SWMBO, 3 separate units for easy "re-location".

Made of Oak (25mm), finished with kind of floor varnish that dries quickly (ready for next layer in 2 hours).

Joined with dowels made on the router table (carcasses and doors frames) and Polyurethane glue.

If it looks that the glass cabinet door is opening to the "wrong" side, it's because the things are "floating" in the house, on the last pic, it's located as designed.

The doors panel raising is not the "standard" (I don't have the bit nor the strong enough router to turn it) but SWOMBO is satisfied with this one...

Appears perfectly functional, doesn't look like it belongs in an Ikea catalogue and your SWMBO is happy with it.

That's all the important criteria met, well done! :2tsup:

Just as a matter of curiosity, are the legs small blocks or bearers that run back?

Mate, that is beautiful. :)

Thank you so much

SWMBO must be happy, she designed it (with 15 changes during construction).

The legs are small blocks of 50x50x50 mm (designed so the vacuum cleaner brush can go under the units for easy cleaning).

The Cabinet looks great and the bonsai sets it off nicely.:2tsup::2tsup:

Very nice work Niki. Should be worth a few bonus points from SWMBO.

[BobR]

Beautiful, and looks well made.

Very nice cabinets Niki.

Just as a matter of interest, you can field raised panels on a sawbench, all you need is a jig to hold the panel at a suitable angle. but yours look very good.

I use this bit. It was bearing guided but I grind the bearing holder
