May 16, 20224 yr Author Carcasses are done. Now for the drawers and pull out shelving. There about 20 of them so it will be mass production for two or three days. Paul
May 17, 20224 yr Author Popular Post Glued up all the blanks for the actual drawers today. The drawer sides are a great way to use up all the little scraps. They make for very stable drawers. There are only five drawers but then there are 28 pull out shelves also. Paul
May 19, 20224 yr Author Popular Post Today was cut and fit then assemble drawers. I should be able to start on the shelving tomorrow. Paul
May 21, 20224 yr Author Today was a lot of milling. All the large drawers are done and the components for the pull out shelving completed. Tomorrow will be lots of glue ups. After that it’s demo time for the old pantry.
May 23, 20224 yr Author Not a terribly productive weekend. We had lots of visitors. I did get about half of the pullout shelves sanded and glued up. Paul
May 24, 20224 yr Author Popular Post Whew. All the shelving is done. That was a very boring run. Except for gluing the pegs in on the lazy Susan’s all the components are done. Next it’s demo the old pantry. The maniac who did the finish on this place didn’t understand the concept of finding studs. The shelving ledgers are stapled to the drywall with hundreds of staples. When you try to get them off the wall large chunks of drywall break off with them. Oh well. Lots of patching. Paul
June 4, 20224 yr Author Well it was a fairly long day of sanding but I will hopefully be done tomorrow. Then it’s time to start putting finish on. I think I have two veggie drawers to flex seal and then it’s all Watco. Paul
July 11, 20224 yr Author Popular Post With all the stuff going on around here the pantry is moving slowly. I managed to get the sanding of everything done and all 300 pegs glued in on Sat and then yesterday put the first coat of finish on everything but the carcasses which will hopefully get done today. Tomorrow it’s head for the coast and install some of the teak work I have been doing and hopefully spend some time working on my boat. Paul
August 17, 20223 yr Author Popular Post Back from working on the boat and time to get the pantry moving forward. The next step is to get all the drawers installed. I discovered my drawer slide jig had finally seen it’s day so I took the afternoon to build a new one. Tomorrow I’ll start installing. Paul
August 18, 20223 yr Author Major progress today. Most of the drawers are in and the pantry is ready for demo tomorrow. Paul
August 18, 20223 yr Author Mahogany on maple is one of our favorite combinations. The drawer fronts will also be mahogany. The plan as I have been told is a routered in oval to make a mahogany pull showing the maple behind . Paul
August 20, 20223 yr Author I got about 80% installed today before the body temple said enough. Tomorrow is another day! Paul
August 20, 20223 yr So there will be drawer faces. Sweet Paul, and lucky you My wife feels the need to "reorganize" - or at least to rearrange everything at least once a month... I would have to allocate at least 15 minutes search time every time I wanted something from the pantry!
