    Default Display Cabinets in pine

    My first retirement project. Started off with 180x25x1800 rough sawn SA pine. Those doors were a real challenge. What I lack in skill I make up with perseverance.
    Think I should do more?

    Thanks very much for showing us these. I would like to tackle something similar, perhaps later in the year, but am sure I could not do as well.

    Would you care to tell us if the sides are one board and with what you oiled, or whatever, the timber, please?

    Thanks again.

    Default Construction details

    Thanks for the positive responses guys. I think Dazzler is enjoying the cricket as much as I do, good to see the other side having to eat humble pie. Of course the cupboards would be much too small
    To answer Old Farmer's questions, all sides, top and bottom are made with three boards butt joined with biscuits and the frames in front attached with biscuits as well. (see pic) Further mostly mortise and tenon joints.
    The whole cupboard is on concealed castors so it can be moved around easily.
    The finish is 3 coats of woodoc 10, see www.woodoc.com
    Don't know what my next project will be except fixing windowframes around the house which I am not looking forward to.

    Thanks for all of that, Rudi, even the bit about the cricket!

    Last question, if you do not mind and one I should have asked, what thickness is the glass, please?

    Excellent project.

    The way you concealed the castors is a clever idea.

    Regards,

    Mike

    Default Glass and glazing bar

    Please, ask all you want. I've use the normal 3mm window pane glass as anything thinner is almost impossible to get here in S.Africa, only some picture framers have 2mm and then it is horribly expensive. I've attached a cross section of the glazing bar. With the 8mm rebate and 3mm glass it made for quite thin beads to hold the glass in but predrilling for the small brass panel pins did the trick.

    Cheers

    Rudi

    You have made a very nice job of those cabinets. I think you should be very proud of them.
