Hello to all, Finally i have the time to sit and and create this post. I tried my best to take pictures of all the construction but alot of the time i just plan forgot to pic up the camera at take photos. There will be a few things ive missed but i hope you enjoy what i did manage to capture. Alright then lets get this started. ( This thread is picture heavy so maybe give it 5 minutes to load up before you begin )
First off we see some boards that i ripped down using my T55. There sitting on one of the boxes for the unit.
Here we see one of the L-shaped pieces clamped up, the joint is just a 45 degree with some lamello biscuits helping to line it all up.
You can see here how i got the thickness in the shelving, 3 layers of 16mm chipboard with the middle layer being a 70mm frame to help keep the weight down.
Just a picture of my C33 combination machine i bought from AUSTRO.
The desk top part of the unit getting some love from my clamps. The center is a full piece, while the sides i made hollow because you wont see them when there screwed to the base carcasses.
A image of one of the lower carcasses being glued up. All Lamello biscuit construction.
The L-shaped back of the unit. I was thinking of cutting it from a single sheet using the T55, but ended up gluing two pieces together instead because it made more sense on the waist material side.
Solid 25mm sapele mahogany ready to be machined.
The ripping blade ready to cut, and then the material cut to dimensions i can work with.
All the solid timber for the door frames have now been surface planed and put through the thicknesser.
Setting up the spindle to cut the rebate. First i cut only about 1mm to prevent chipping. Then i run them through a second time to get the final cut.
The rebate cut on all door framing.
The tablesaw set up to cut the 45 degree angle. Then i check the square, and its spot on first time.
All framing cut to size now.
Now I'm getting ready to cut the slots for joining. This is where i really could do with the Domino, Which i think has to be my next Festool purchase.
Glue up time for the frames ( Remember to always do a dry glue up before you commit to the glue )
Now starts the process of screwing on the drawer fronts and all the hardware.
Blum hinge plates are now in.
I now use blum motion on all my doors to give just a bit of extra class.
All the drawers and one door fitted to one of the carcasses.
Here you can see the jig i made to drill the hole for the Blum motion, and what is looks like before going into the hole. They tried there best to sell me the jig to drill the holes but i tild them i would just make my own.
Here you see the top half of the unit finally getting put together.
The two bottom units all done
Now the top half of the unit has been put together.
Well thats its for the construction, I didnt take anymore pics from here on, Only when i installed the units. Ive pasted the finished pics as thumbnails below just because the picture quality i find to be better that way compared to pasting a link.
Ok so here is the original rendering i sent the client and then some pics of the real thing. The room was small so i could not get a full view of the unit.
