I came to a stop today as the mirror hasn't arrived for the bathroom cabinet yet and I need to check some details with the oak wardrobe customer.....so, I started work on my next commission which is a cabinet to box a boiler in. This was a job from the customer with the small gate. It is just a simple two sided affair which will fit into a corner and cover the boiler and pipework. I had enough spare MRMDF so got to work. By this evening I had it built ready to hinge the door and then apply some finish to it. :D

Oh, I also have to route some slots in the plinth and the top too, Almost forgot that. :oops:
 
You get through a lot of work in a day and it looks very well done. Do you work from detailed drawings or sketches on the back of a *** packet and years of experience :lol: ?

Regards Keith
 
Well Keith, this one was built from a quick sketch on my pad but normally I draw up my own plans in Sketchup after doing a rough sketch and dimensions in my pad on my first visit. This was such a simple build it was hardly worth doing anything in Sketchup really. :wink:
 
I got the boiler cabinet in a finish and ready for fitting. Not sure when this will be yet as I have to contact the customer for a date.

If I'm allowed to offer some criticism I find the apparent misalignment between the middle rail of the door and the middle rail of the carcass side visually discordant. I'm trying to think of a legitimate reason for this misalignment, but can't. Is it a, er, calculatory anomaly (sic), just the way it's photographed, or is what I see right and there is a reason? Slainte.
 
Double post......I just thought you were a bit to excited ;-)

On a serious note, what did you finish it with?

Do you use any sort of catch to keep the door closed?

Cheers
 
The finish is my usual Morrells 2K. This is a matt sheen. I have used the small roller catch for the door on this one.

Err, no Richard it is a mistake. :oops: as is the double post....not sure how that happened! must be my age. :lol:
Hopefully the customer either doesn't notice or doesn't object to the misalignment, and pays along with offering compliments. Slainte.

Surely that's what "bespoke" is all about ;-)

Is that their AC stuff?
