Shamus asked me to make a record cabinet for Kate and Louis to fit a couple of metres of LPs.
The finished cabinet except for its doorknobs. Kate saw the bits of turned bedpost and chairleg I'd cut off and sanded but not attached, and grabbed them from the bench to take home with it and fix on
The matching table that Shamus made with the cabinet behind
Currawong visiting to check out the work, and maybe raid the catfood
doorknob candidates
with doors on
Top attached, now all that remains is more varnishing and attaching the doors, and some doorknobs
piecing together the top with pieces of oak, cedar, oregon and pine(?)
varnishing the inside and the wings
doors clamped (almost)in place
Some of the pieces I'll make the top from, including a piece of an oak bedhead and a cedar step and part of the top of another cupboard or set of drawers
The back attached to the frame as this thing starts to take shape
The weightbearing part of the frame and the floor of the cupboard. I had a walk on it to make sure it doesn't flex
So far its just some pieces of cut and somewhat sanded timber. Caspian's
been doing some of the work as he learns how to use the sander and saws
Bits and pieces of the frame, mocked up with clamps. There's still a few small pieces for the ends to cut, then it will be ready to knock together
These bits of floorborad will be the back, and maybe the odd piece will go on the ends and front
Cedar and oak etc planks for the top
