Progress on the Nightstands
I have progressrd to the point that the night stands carcases are
assembled. I am putting in drawers on full extension soft close slides and they will be inset. I added a couple of rails between the drawers on each cabinet front and back. The rails have two functions. Number one function is to close the gap between the drawers and the secondary function during assembly is to properly and quickly provide an index for the slides and the slide spacers to sit on. The process of spacing the rails. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ The back fit of the back drawer rails. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ And the first use of screws on the project. You see one at the end of each rail screwed into the back or front face frame. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ And here you see my set up for attaching the top cross bracing that will help support the heavy marble tops. This set up insured that the supports remained even at the top of the cabinet and evenly spaced. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ Here you will notice the slide spacers sitting on top of the drawer divider rails. The spacers insure that the slides are flush with the inside edge of the face frame stiles. They will be screwed in place into the side's front, back, and center stiles. I used the actual plywood for those spacers to determine where to cut the grooves in the FF stiles. The distance between the groove to receive the cabinet sides and the inside of the FF stile need to exactly match the spacer. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lcb112...posted-public/ Thoughts or questions? |
