Retrofitting The China Cabinet Doors
Yesterday I showed you lot my electrical current project, the china cabinet for the dining room.
The exterior doors had a wire shroud rather than glass. I similar the charm in addition to texture of the wire, simply it was non inwards practiced sort (surprise!) in addition to I decided that I wanted the build clean await of drinking glass all the was across the doors.
I was hoping for a uncomplicated trip to the drinking glass store for a few rectangular panes of glass, simply upon examining the backs of the doors I discovered the door frame roughly the drinking glass was cutting inwards the same curved sort every bit the front end of the door. Boo. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 much to a greater extent than hard cutting for the drinking glass in addition to much to a greater extent than $$$ to supersede it.
However, the doors were prissy in addition to thick in addition to I idea it would hold upwards fairly slow to notch out the corners of that plication to brand the dorsum into a rectangular frame for the glass. So, I called my handy-dandy dad for some help. We decided this would hold upwards a fairly slow projection alongside the router.
First, nosotros marked the department that nosotros wanted to cutting out,
and thus he routed out most of the unwanted section.
There was a modest department left inwards the corners where the router couldn't brand a abrupt cut,
so using a chisel he squared upwards the corners.
That's it! Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 piffling sanding in addition to pigment in addition to no 1 volition ever know. I left the doors at the drinking glass store thus they could become a practiced fit, in addition to it volition entirely terms virtually $10 per door for the glass.
By the way, if you lot ever request to build clean upwards spilled, ancient, dried forest glue, a chisel turned upside downward is a great tool! Ask me, I know. :) Apparently this cabinet was also the tool storage unit of measurement for the previous owners.
Most of you lot don't know my dad, simply these photos from his garage volition country you lot a lot...
He's organized, disciplined, consistent, resourceful, creative, in addition to a super-hard worker.
Dad, thank you lot thus much for your assistance yesterday! I know you lot had a long listing of other things to hold upwards doing, in addition to I dearest how you're e'er willing to drib all of your projects when mortal request your help. I promise that I am that willing to assistance others, also.
Wish me luck, I'm off to sand a piffling to a greater extent than in addition to commencement priming!
