    Prepared these mouldings from a larger lump of the timber, got them down to around 6mm x 3mm overall. Used the router table, bandsaw, tablesaw and then the block plane..
    The are to be used to hold glass in to door frame, hopefully. Getting glass tomorrow.

    The glass is in and mouldings have been glued to outside and inside of the glass.

    A couple of pics of the door sitting in position, and pleased to say it is fitting well.

    I have now got the hinges to fit, this time I am going to temporary superglue the hinges to the door frame and then again to the carcass.
    The door frame is under 9mm thick, and my smallest screws are 12.5 mm x2 or 4's, so if anyone has got half a dozen 6mm screws they can spare I would say thank you to my uk friends.

    My neighbour who has done glass painting in the past I hope can put a flower arrangement to the glass so things might slow down for a while.

    (got some drawer pulls to sort out as well)

    My neighbour has completed the glass painting to the box door and she has made a lovely job of it. Inks used are for glass painting and the painting has been applied to the inside of glass door.

    As soon as present weather improves, (bad weather forecasted for week) I intend to finish the project and no more this year .

    Drawer pulls now fixed to drawers.

    Pulls are glued to front of drawers but could not insert back screws.

    Therefore 8mm hole drilled in back of each box so a screwdriver blade could be inserted, went well and then plugged the holes with dowels after.

    Nearly there.!

    thanks for sharing this WIP, I am sure we have all learnt something from it. Nice job, particularly liked the painted glass, never heard of that before.
    regards,

    ~The painted glass was a piece of cake, inks used were suitable for painting on glass.

    Got the hinges on over the weekend. You can no doubt see how small 1/4" no.1 screws are, used some small drill bits as well.
    The hinges were glued with super glue and that worked well, I was able to close door an hour later to check positioning. Did not rebate hinges on door piece only carcass as per casket I was copying. (used 1/2" screws on box piece)

    One screw partially in.

    Supported door whilst all this being done.

    Should finish woodwork tomorrow.

    That's really nice, John. Hope you enjoyed the break from tissue boxes. The painted glass door sets it off well.
