A new Desk for me

[hbmcc]

Wow! You have some heavy duty shelves. 

It's all looking good!

Didn't bother to resaw  them...
Door is now in the clamps, after I had cleaned up the four Ash parts with the no. 11 Junior Jack plane...

   
Inside of the door....I used a pair of cauls at the top and bottom  ends..
 

   
Outside of the door.  Trying to decide which way will be up....Dug out some hardware..

   
waiting on the glue to cure for a day....then clean it up a bit, and a coat of stain...once that is dry, I'll shellac the entire hutch, door and all. 

looking like "Moving Day" will be this coming weekend?  Old desk will be heading for the curb...
 
Stay tuned...
 

BTW: will have to relocate one front bracket...

   
As it won't allow the door to open all the way....will tuck the one on the right around the corner, out of the way.   Drill is for pilot holes for the bracket install.

Just a PIP, for now...Brackets are installed, after the shellac had dried a bit...the back ones

   
and the front ones...

   
Door is done, hardware and all..

   
And the PIP?
 

   
And a view from the other direction...

   
Needs another coat of shellac...then a rub down of 0000 steel wool...don't want it too shiny
 

looking like maybe Friday for a Moving Day?
  need to round up some helpers....Desk can come back apart to be moved....will take the drawers out, too.

Did you know there is a size of Phillips screwdrivers smaller than a #1 tip?   Even dug one out, today.  


Knee had rehab, today....a wee bit on the sore side, right now.  Fun part will be getting the old desk out of the way, and installing the new desk....with the computer in place....should I post a few pictures of that?
  Fairly certain that there will be cussing involved...

Stay tuned

Moving Day was today
 
Out with the old desk....

   
Then with a lot of help from Grandson #3 after he got home from work..

   
Brought it upstairs in piecees..6 drawers...1 hutch,,,then two people to carry the desk up the stairs.   Set it down near it's new home, reassembled it...then a "test fit" with the computer chair..and a fat old Grandpa...with a brand new hat!

   
Hey....I fit!
 

next up? have the shop to clean up, re-organize..and then rehab a new item..

   
$15 Garage sale item...Stanley No. 246 Mitre Box and it's matching saw...once things get cleaned up in the shop...
 

thanks for following along
