Sounds like you have te right attitude. I imagine you'll go in late at
night and turn on the light just to look at your beautiful work once you're done. And a few new tools is always the way to go. Maybe a shaper or killer router table setup to help with those doors? Maybe a wide drum sander to help flatten them like a pro? On Sep 11, 10:39*am, Chris wrote: SonomaProducts.com wrote: The 1/4" ply for the exposed faces is cool. Most pros just use veneer for the face of the frames. Glue it on with contact cement, roll it and trim it with a small trim router. I would buy the doors. You can get them online. Get em unfinished, sand the doors and all the new oak to the same grit so finish will look the same on all. The doors will cost about the same as if you built them yourself, these pro shops can do it super cheap if you can get wholesale price, not to hard. They sell by the sq ft. Maybe some pro cab maker can tell us the going rate. They will be as good or better than anything you can build. snip Thanks for the suggestions. I have priced the doors and you are right I would not save that much by doing it myself. It is just something I have never done and I like the challenge. Time is not a problem as I am retired and it will most likely give me a chance to buy some new tools. That is always a good thing. Thanks again Chris |
