Cabinets DONE!

I'm certainly not going to show my wife. Nice work.

LOL, thank you ED.

Maybe you would want to show her the matching pieces.

We added matching knobs to this today also.

And I just remembered I have to add lighting over the long arm.. ;~(

Pretty good work there. Hope she is happy.

That pastel green color is pleasing to the eye. Nice choice and a nice contrast. Her quilting friends will be envious, no doubt.

Two thumbs up!

Sonny

Thank you!

She went immediately into dreaming of filling it mode. ;~) She helped a lot with painting so she has a bit of a vested interest.

Thank you Sonny! Her quilting friends are customers. ;~) There is a method to my madness. LOL

The color is "Minted" by Sherwin Williams. We are pretty happy with the color too, it seems to glow with natural lighting and reflects light well too. The three pieces in all brighten the room.

Congratulations, another big project completed!

Bill

Well done as usual. BTW, you're running out of house... ;)

Very well done--as usual.

Thank you! Don't look too close. The heat and humidity on this third project did not allow us to paint as smoothly nor were the results as good as the first two. We did not use fans to combat the heat when we painted in the winter and the paint set up much faster this time because of all of the air movement. . But it looks fine.

I was thinking that I was running out of house too. :-). I think I can squeeze in 4 or so more relative large pieces.

Thank you Bill. I appreciate your noticing a big project. I really did not notice that until I realized that we painted on 8 separate days. That was partially because I built in 3 stages.

How do I say this Leon?

Your sewing room cabinets look nicer than a lot of folk's china cabinets. How are you going to top this sort of thing when called upon to make something REALLY nice? The design-build problems you must have! ;-)

Good work there Leon. Try to not make the rest of us look like a bunch of ham fisted cave men in the shop.

NO !!!!!!!! She'd love to have that.

LOL... Well we built our home about 4 years ago. She got her dedicated sewing studio and I got my 3 car shop. It was a small price to pay to get the 3 car shop. ;~)

Thank you!

Thank you Lee. To answer your question, I'm hoping that the next project will not have paint. ;~)

Nonsense, I am in a constant state of practice and get lucky a lot! Having said that I have developed a way of building cabinets, and a big thanks to Swingman for steering me in the right direction about 10 years ago, that seems to work well, the front "and" back face frame method. In the last 3 1/2 years I have built 37 cabinets/pieces of furniture using this design principal. It tends to be a very solid way to construct, solves certain issues, and lends itself to adding decorative options.

I pride myself in the fact that the carcasses and face frames have no nails or screws. Dado's, grooves, rabbets, floating tenons and mortises, and glue are what hold it all together. Then the nasty part of adding screws for door hinges, drawer slides, pulls, moldings, and back panels take their toll. ;~(

Some of my nasty "parts" consist of manipulating enough clamps around a structure, within the alloted glue-set time. Seems, baton twirling skills would help, in the handling of pipe clamps, at times.

Showed my wife. She wants to marry you. Legal papers to follow, I already signed the release.

Sorry, I'm sure she is lovely but I already have a neighborhood full of wives with wish lists. :~)
