April 21, 20233 yr Author Popular Post I got the clothes hanger rack up and continuing on with the lower cabinet. I had a tough time finding the studs on the clothes rack so I had to make two decorative cover plates to hide the holes. Paul

April 26, 20233 yr Author Popular Post Went back into drawer mode and finished up the end cap with its drawers. Next is an upper cabinet for the end cap which becomes the home for the coffee maker, cups and stuff. Paul
April 26, 20233 yr Looking great Paul. What's the little bump-out about a foot from the door casing and behind the base cabinet? Assume some type of plumbing or electrical raceway? Just curious.
April 26, 20233 yr Author Popular Post There was one on the left side that was part of the framing x for the pantry so she had me frame one in to match on the laundry room side. I should have left it out but I try to pick my battles. It will entail a filler piece on both the upper and lower so it effectively disappears I would have had to add the filler no matter what for the drawers to miss the casing. Paul

May 1, 20233 yr Author Today was spent putting another coat of finish on the drawers and making a door stop. I won’t actually mount the door stop without positional approval. Wherever I put it will be wrong ! Paul
May 2, 20233 yr Author The boss definitely did not like the door stop. Said it looks like a chair leg stuck to the cabinet. I think I agree with her. Back to the drawing board. Paul

In '00 I was doing a plumbing job for an established furniture craftsman. His "studies", pieces he made to study the form before beginning the furniture item, were always interesting. I ended up with a few of them over that job and a second one.
