Current Project #33: Bathroom shelf rehab

Looks great from here, Dave. What are your plans for it?

Good question!

[Above] I’m adding doors to hide the contents of the two middle shelves. I had pieces already cut out for this purpose, but for some reason they were a bit too short, so I glued a narrow strip to one of the panels.

[Above] Instead of buying hinges, I’m using brass pins. Here I’m drilling a hole in the end of the door. Then install the pins.

[Above] Now I’m drilling the receiving hole for the pins in the body of the shelf unit. A brass washer will keep it from rubbing on the wood.

[Above] A little block of wood also gets a hole to hold the bottom door pins. I use two washers as a spacer and to reduce friction.

[Above] The doors are on and ready for paint. I’m going to add knobs and do a few other things so stay tuned.

Here I’ve glued on a piece on the top shelf. I’m doing this to add proper hanging hardware.

And here my helper has put some primer on the new parts.

Well, not the usual format of blog posts!! Though it’s probably more efficient keeping them all in one post.

Anyway, the cabinet is looking great! I was going to suggest using frosted glass panels in the doors, to add a bit of elegance, but you’ve almost got the project done already! So never mind….....!

Looking forward to the finished cabinet!
