Christmas Cabinet

Very nice Tom, that turned out great and looks really good in place. I really like the Euro hinges because the adjustments that can be made with them.

Beautifully done. Tell me about the finish.

Hi Cory,

I hand brushed the finish. I have an HVLP conversion gun, but it’s too cold in my shop to spray.

I used Zinsser 123 latex primer. I then used two coats of Behr (Home Depot) Premium Latex paint. I was real pleased with how the finish turned out.

Sometimes it’s just a lot easier to do things by hand than dragging out hoses and cleaning spray guns. For big projects, I like to spray the finish, but for small ones, like this, I go for doing it by hand.

I hope I answered your question.

Thanks for the info, Tom. That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. It’s nice to see a great finish that didn’t require an Earlex!

Thanks for the kind comments, Cory. That’s what makes this a great place for us – the mutual, gracious, and constructive encouragement of each of us.

Nice job Tom my friend. Great proportion & ditto what Lee said.

Thanks, Max. Yes, I like the adjust-ability of the Euro hinges also. Plus, they are spring loaded to keep them closed all the way.

Thanks Grumpy.

You aren’t having any problems with all that flooding there in Australia, are you? I hope not.

Safe & sound down in Sydney Tom. Thanks for your concern. Flooding in Queensland to the North of us has been devestating.

I like the proportions. It’s a nice design. And two thumbs up on doing things by hand when you can.

Great job!
