On to the counter top. More of the same, different parts and pieces is all.

Top is going to have a 3" self edge and will sit on top of the base cabinets.
First thing was to make a frame for the top to sit on. Turn top upside down and build frame onto bottom side.

After glue dried, Turned top over and clamped face to edge.

Side panels tomorrow!

 

 

I got all my pieces parts finished, more the same as above.

I set it up a little to get a feel for the size. Picture the 10" header at the top, and the 3 shelves spread out.
Overall size will be 149" wide x 126" high
The base cabinets will sit on the toe kick that's sitting in front of it.

 

Nice!!!!!

 

It has to be painted to?

 

It's going to get a stain and lacquered finish.
The face will have a dark ebony color and all the shelving will be American Walnut. (looks orangish on the alder)
This is the inspiration picture.

 

Finally don't have to completely cover all the grain.

 

I have to score some of those clamps! They look ideal for someone with large hands.

You deliver that in pieces and assemble on site?

You make end panels,what, 3/4" wider, scribe to wall? Cut shelves to fit after scribed end panels?

Exactly.

This one is going to be a little different.
I checked the walls beforehand, so I'm only allowing 1/4" extra on the end panels.

Since I'm made all the shelves the 12' length (142 1/2") and there is a top and bottom to them, I don't want to scribe each one in the field.

I'm shooting for perfection when I scribe the ends,
I'm planning on leaving an exact opening (within .0005) for the shelves to slide in.

It's all in the … technique MF! TECHNIQUE!) LOL, I heard that somewhere before

LeeRoy Man,

Great variety of projects. Excellent as always.

Had a client build a home that he put curved glass in one curved wall. I tried to talk him out of it and just put in segments that were siliconed on the vertical seams. He said "No",....it looked fabulous.

Detailing all my pieces-parts.
Since my (142 1/2") shelves will be fitting in between my 2 side panels, I want to make sure they are all the same.
I stacked them up on top of each other and took a long sanding block to the edges.

Made the drawers, put in bars for the file drawers.

In the process of laying out the doors and fronts to double check the reveals.
Going to have 1/8" everywhere.

 

LeeRoy,

This may be my favorite show as well. Really good work! I've tried the scribe thing not sure how to do that well. When you get to that point maybe take some picks on how to?

I played golf today. I worked on the rehab of this lawn cart yesterday. I know it's awesome.

I think you should find some steaming service or maybe a youtube channel.

Come back to Gunny's - we have post 777777 reserved just for you. That is a tribute.

 

Thanks Petey!
That is one fine lawn cart, it is awesome, but I don't see any wheels.
What do you do, just drag it around? lol

Scribing is not bad. I'll try to take some pics for this one.

I'm not educated enough, (barely made it through High School) nor do I desire to take the time to create proper tubes for public.
A quick one here and there and maybe a slideshow once in a while is about all I have in me.

 

LeeRoy,

The wheels are today's job.

 

Along with the wall unit build, I have a wall and ceiling to clad with 3/4" material. The wall is 118" tall x 34" and the ceiling is 57" x 34". The ceiling will go up first with the wall panel holding up one side of the ceiling. I don't want any fasteners going through the face so I'm going to use adhesive, but I want a mechanical hold on the opposite side of the wall. Since I only have 3/4" to work with I decide to use a piece of 1/2" L-channel. I routed out a slot for the 1/2" leg and took off 1/8" for the thickness of the channel.
Here are the pics, you will be able to see better what I did.
Here are the panels.

Wall

Ceiling

Here you can see the 2 cuts made. Used a slot cutter first for the leg and then routed for the channel thickness using a straight cutter and a fence.

The first pic is of the cutouts, the second is with the channel, and the third is with the channel inserted.

Hopefully, this will be enough to keep the panel from falling on someone's head down the road.

 

Interesting approach. May borrow this for something.

 

damn nice work,enough said !

I'll let you know how it works. Hopefully it will allow me to put it up by myself.

Screw the L channel to the wall, cover the panel with plenty of adhesive.
stab the ceiling panel over the L channel,
raise the other end up tight to the ceiling and put some screws in the end.
Side wall panel will cover the screws…
I will also cut some cleats (maybe 6) to push the center up tight to the ceiling and leave them overnight until the adhesive sets up.

I'll take some pics of it in action, if I remember.

Thanks pottz

 

I am way farther behind in skillet.

Have you tried the skillet Rich recommended? LOL

You have the skills to do whatever you want.
As long as you can use the tools, you can make whatever you need to make.

Plus, I have been doing this sort of stuff since 1977. I have had a lot of practice and am still practicing.
I don't always win. I get beat up a lot, and end up going back to school more than I would admit.

 

I have alot of practice being rushed through a project by ex wife. That has changed in years since divorce. These days I take as much time on details as I please.

One cabinet will have an outlet on side. Cord will be internal and come out back to plug into house outlet. I like convenience. Plus I think its cool looking. LOL
