RE: Box#3, a bit different sort of box.. - bandit571 - 03-22-2023
Stand/base is installed...
[attachment=46955]
I left a "lip" out in front...to help support the doors..
[attachment=46956]
3 counter sunk 3/4" screws and a bit of glue..set aside while I lay out and install a couple hinges..tools..
[attachment=46964]
Normal for hinge work...
[attachment=46957]
Hinge lay out..then mortise a hinge..
[attachment=46958]
Close it up..
[attachment=46959]
install the other hinge to this door..then lay the door over on the case..
[attachment=46960]
The way this looks, I could just drill 6 pilot holes..and install the door...
[attachment=46961]
Then see how it will work..
[attachment=46962]
Then close the door..
[attachment=46963]
will install door #2 tomorrow...
Stay tuned..

Nice shape on the stand. Did I miss something along the way? I have a feeling this box is not for the shop.

Wow, that took an unexpected turn with the legs. I'm liking it quite a bit.

Hmmm, since most of the Tea I use, comes in bags in a box...figured this would be a way to store them..besides strewn all over the Kitchen....Could even store the "Fake" Sugar?
Thinking of adding a bevel to the outside edges of the doors?
Door #2 install today....IF the Dungeon Creek doesn't rise up to meet me...
Tea? Black Tea...with a shot of Irish Creamer ( that I keep in the fridge) I prefer Irish, my son prefer English Black Tea.
Stay tuned...

Dungeon Creek kind of fizzled out...
[attachment=46978]
Door#2 has been installed..
[attachment=46979]
Had to add tenons to the knobs....package said 1/4" tenons...holes in the knobs were a bit too small,, reduced the piece of 1/4" dowel down to match the hole in the back of the knob, then match a drill bit to the re-sized dowel..
[attachment=46980]
Drill the 2 holes for the knobs, and glue them in place...and add a latch..
[attachment=46981]
Starting to look a bit better..
[attachment=46982]
One last step..involves a block plane called "Boy-Proof"..
[attachment=46983]
Stanley No. 118, cutting bevels...
[attachment=46984]
Them corners were a bit tricky, though....
Has been sanded to 220 grit...awaiting a finish, of some sort....will also be finishing the first 2 boxes in Witch's Brew...
Stay tuned..
RE: Box#3, a bit different sort of box.. - bandit571 - 03-25-2023
Another site's poster seemed to think that those 1/4" thick Ash feet were a bit too flimsy....and needed "stretchers" added...so...
[attachment=46992]
A stretcher for each end....angled, a bevel where it lands...and a curve so it doesn't show , then..
[attachment=46993]
One in the center....all three are glued in place.
Boxes #1 and #2?
[attachment=46994]
Were given a coat of Witch's Brew, then wiped down...allowed to dry for a few hours...then..
[attachment=46995]
Given one coat of...
[attachment=46996]
Amber Shellac.....
Debate now is about whether to Witch's Brew the Tea Cabinet, then shellac....or...just 3 or 4 coats of Amber Shellac....stuff is a 2 pound cut right out of the can.
we'll see...stay tuned...
RE: Box#3, a bit different sort of box.. - bandit571 - 03-25-2023
The proper way to open a can of finish..
[attachment=46997]
Then do the insides of the case first...
[attachment=46998]
Then the sides..
[attachment=46999]
then the outside front..
[attachment=47000]
Couldn't remove the glare, no matter where I placed the camera...
Had a couple visitors..
[attachment=47001]
Checking out the new home?
Stay tuned...going to try a few more coats of Amber Shellac...320 grit between each coat?
RE: Box#3, a bit different sort of box.. - bandit571 - 03-26-2023
Tea Cabinet is now sitting on the Kitchen Counter....right beside the Toaster....went with 2 coats of Amber Shellac, 2 pound cut. Sanded to 320 between the two coats...
Calling this one done....thanks for looking in!
