My latest project and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel:eusa_danc
Just before X-mas I built my wife a 11' x 14.5" sewing/craft room.
I added onto the end of the house. I know no pics didn't happen.
I promise I'll take some of it shortly.
Well she had to have something to put in it. So our own Bigdog helped me out with a set of plans for a sewing cabinet.
I used some of Jeff's Quarter Sawn Oak. Great stuff as always.
I also used/forced to use Oak ply from Lowes. Don't get me started on how crappy that ply is. But heck down here in fayettenam, there isn't any place to get good ply. A trip to Raleigh for 1 sheet of ply just doesn't seem worth it.
So here are some pics of the Cabinet in various stages.
This is a shot without the doors or the top extensions mounted.
Here is another pic showing the drawers
There are 2 doors mounted with piano hinges
When the doors are open there are 2 top extensions that open up and sit on these locator pins.
the top extensions use these type of hinges. This shows that they are mortised in the tops
Not a real good pic, the color is off but shows the opening in the top and the lift device
another shot
Got to love QS Oak
Next week I should have the final coats off satin finish on everything.
Once assembled I will be sure to take more photos, so you can see it finished.:icon_cheers
As Promised here is the sewing center assembled and in place.
As you can see it will also serve as her computer desk if you would. The sewing machine also gets connected to the puter:roll:
I still have to figure out the routing of all the wiring.:dontknow:
I would love to conceal them. :icon_scra Any sugestions??
Yeah she is spoiled!
New Flat screen TV, new room, new sewing center. But hey she's worth every bit of it.:wink_smil
Thanks for looking.
