So I know this guy and his family who are wanting to spiff-up the
house with some cabinetry and so on. He asked me to make some shelving
for two rooms and this is a good guy so I agreed to make something.
It's been some months since I've built anything of consequence and I like
to spend other people's money on projects so here we go.
The first unit will be 12.5' in length and be in a office type room.
It's got to be built in three sections for assembly etc.
This is the middle section.
The middle upper section will have a back-light for display of what-ever.
Birch plywood with poplar face frames.
Bead board door insets and backs.
I'm going to set this all on a toe space type base of 3.5".
See the switch boxes added in?
These will be side panels for the adjustable shelving.
Primer on the back
All painted up, except the face frame.
Here's where it's going to live, and you can see the base for the whole thing.
Starting on the side parts with adjustable shelves.
First shelf goes in...............
All painted and ready to install.
Three pieces in place.
Light shines
With the bead board on the wall
Finally there
From this look to .........
......... this the finial look. Perhaps I'm biased, but I like it.
Floor looks great against the white. The stuff on the shelves are a nice contrast as well.
On to the next room. This is expected to be easier as it doesn't have to appear to be all one unit.
Two main pieces and a mantel type piece between. These are the sides.
... and here's where they will be going.
Start with a little bead board
Set in the two main pieces and reframe the fireplace........
Add a cornice board
Prepare for the new mantle to cross under the TV.........
Mantle in process
Almost done, and would have been if it weren't for the fact that I messed up the doors for the lower cabinets. Some how, I built them 7 inches too wide! Still don't know how that happened. The home owner did some painting here. They've been in flux for some weeks now and are ready to get'er done. He did a fine job and saved lots of time for me and them.
Yeah!, resized doors ready to install.
