G'day troops,
Got one of Studleys hardwood flooring packs last June. First job off the list was a sideboard or whatever you call those cupboards people put in their entries. So I thought I'd do the right thing and share my WIP with my forums friends.
Well, it was supposed to be a work in progress but life got in the way, the camera decided to go on strike and I never really got around to it. (always wanted a round tuit:q).
I started out taking lots of pics in the early stages but my camera stopped working and by the time it came back from the shop the job was pretty much finished, so I think I'll just post a few.
Pic 1: How I got around of only having 19 mm stock to make the legs with.
Pic 2: Stuck a block inside while cutting mortices to avoid tearout.
Pic 3: Dry assembly
Pic 4: Gluing trims on.
Pic 5:Sanding inset panels, these are just edge glued. Had that old DeWalt ROS for about 15 years now, we've sanded many miles together.
And then the camera went bung....:((
..... and then I got the camera fixed, the rest are pictures taken tonight with the first coat of Minwax on. Sorry about the big gap between photos.
Pic 6-9: The front, the back (the dropped top rail in the middle is because there is a powerpoint behind that I want to access), a corner and the front again.
I purposely wanted to go for a heavy, chunky look to reflect the solidness of the hardwood it's made from. And heavy it certainly is, a four person lift I should think - and it hasn't got a top yet!!!
Haven't started the top yet, I'm thinking a 30 mm slab of sandstone.... waddya think?
