Roller Cabs x 2 WIP ( Update 26-4-12 ) 18.00

[Blister]

After my recent visit to Norfolk and Dodge

I have made some progress on these 2 roller cabs :lol:

Sorry ( Its a PITA ) that the photo sequence comes up backwards :?

Will need to have a re think on the caster I was going to use as I don't think they will be up to the job weight wise

 

[Blister]

Well , it stopped raining around noon and started to dry up

So I Lept into action :-" :---)

Managed to get my carpentry bench out of the garage ( had to take the door off ) workshop and into the woodworking workshop

Then managed to get the Axminster casters fitted and get both roller cab carcasses into the garage :lol: 8)

Then it started raining again and its now starting to get dark

So put everything away

and

find the bottle of scotch :lol:

Did we really make all those in one day??

No wonder I was knackered! (hammer) (hammer)

:lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol:

O that is good news , you were Knackered as well , Makes me feel human again

One nearly done , just need ply for the top draw bottom , draw fronts and draw handles fitting

Then on too number 2

 

[Dodge]

Phew!

The drawer spacing did work out

One day to make - 3 months to finish though - :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[Blister]

MORE PROGRESS :mrgreen:

Draw fronts now have handles fitted

I made a small jig to make sure they were all in the same place / spacing , and it worked fine :lol:

Draw fronts now fitted on one roller cab

I needed a 3mm spacer to make sure the draw fronts fitted correctly , do you think I could find anything 3mm :roll:

Then I had a :idea: :idea: moment , My planer blades are 3mm thick so used my spare set
Sat the blade on top of the lower draw front , then the next draw front on that , then used 2 bessy clamps to hold it in place and drilled 6 fixing holes on the inside of the draw

One now looks like this :lol:

Can anyone spot the mistake I think it adds caricature :mrgreen:
