Latest cabinet project

[Steve D]

I just completed the install on some Shaker style Hickory cabinets that I made for a client. There are several other in process pics in my gallery for those interested. These were made for their laundry room and match the same style cabinets in their kitchen. I used white thermofoil, veneer core plywood for the cases. It is expensive but eliminates the need to finish the cases and really makes for a clean looking interior. I also made a full extension pullout that they can use to hang clothes to dry. It retracts under the lower shelf when not in use. There were 4 cabinets total, 2 32x36x18 and 2 - 32x92x12.

Nice work Steve. What kind of hardware did you use on the doors?

 

[Steve D]

The hinges are the concealed European style with 1/2" overlay, they are picking out pulls now so I will still need to go back and install those.

Very nice Steve. Have you turned pro? You have mentioned in posts you have paid for the majority of your tools this way. I barely have enough time to get to go play in the shop less do paying jobs.

Steve, your pictures aren't so big on my real monitor at home. Must have been the crappy one at work. Your cabinet still look awesome!!!

I play AAA semi pro :mrgreen: . I have been fortunate enough that people have seen my work and asked me to do things for them. Referrals from referrals, etc. I really don't market myself and honestly don't say no as often as I should. I spend a lot of evenings and weekends in the shop and not too much time in front of the TV.

Thanks DL, per Charles' recommendation, I purchased the Freud tongue & groove set. He actually helped with the design and it really does a very nice job.

Steve,

Nice cabinets!!

Did you use VC for the shelves, too? I was just curious what you used as edgebanding (pre-clued or contact cement). Did you have any problems with voids in the VC causing telescoping or delaminationof the edgebanding? And lastly, do you have a line borer for the shelf holes?

Thanks,
Bernhard

 

[Steve D]

Thanks Bernhard!

1. I did use edgebanding for the shelves on this project to match what they had. I used a peel & stick product from Fastcap that went on very nicely and trimmed well. The VC was sound so voids were not an issue.

2. No line borer, I have a jig from Rockler and a vix style bit that drills 1/4" holes. It is very fast and accurate.

Wow, no line borer>>> now I am even more impressed.

I have never used Fastcap banding, just saw it on the Greensboro show. Have you had much experience with it?

Thanks again,
Bernhard

 

[Steve D]

This was my first uses but Fastcap products are widely used by the pros. The adhesive is very strong and fully cures after 24 hours. I'm not a huge fan of edge banding and would preferto use hardwood but it does have it's place. I have used the iron on stuff in the past and this is much nicer.
