Fitted dining room cabinet...

[matt]

I thought I should post up something - you may all just begin to wonder if I just ask questions for no reason

It's all fur coat and no knickers - MDF carcass, poplar frames, MDF door panels, and then the Walnut fur coat...

Designed to house hi-fi, DVD's, & CD's in the right-hand tall cabinet (I'm planning to make a drawer unit to stand in the lower half to hold all the CD's & DVD's). The left-hand side of the tall cabinet is for SWMBO, inc kids toys etc... The shorter cabinet will have a fish tank on it with all the kit underneath. There's power in both cabinets.

Still gotta do the catches and knobs - the latter I'm going to turn myself (for the second time, having had two of four explode on me on my first attempt :roll: )

I'll take some better photographs once the tank is set up.

Nice work, Quad and KI sig, takes me back to when I repaired those for a living I've sold almost all my old HiFi and bought woodworking equipment with the proceeds and you look like you need to fill some spaces? :wink: It's hard to tell if the insides are painted ?

 

[matt]

The insides are varnished MDF with Walnut lips on the shelves and pine on the verticals. I hadn't anticipated having enough Walnut otherwise I would have lipped all the edges in Walnut.

Nice job, it's the sort of thing I get asked to do fairly often.

I hope you don't mind me noticing but are the doors on the short cupboard not aligned or is it the photo?

I've set up doors like this on a frame and then had to adjust the frame a mil or two to get the doors to hang right on site.

Well spotted. The doors need "fettling" and catches fitted. At the mo they're just kinda floating about with just one screw in each hinge.
