surpise gift to my wife.. only had one day to install

[adrian130980]

Hi

My wife had hinted, not that subtly that i should do more projects for our house, so i decided to build and install a chimney breast side cabinet with shelves, 4 drawers and two large sliding cabinet door sections.

It was a straightforward project unfortunately no process pics as it was a secret and i have an iPhone that is linked to our computer.

the hard part was the install as the existing walls were far out of 'plumb and the picture rail was off by 2 inches over 1.3metres

only used festool tools, mainly ts55 with track and parallel guides, kapex 120, 1400 router and various festool sanders.

build took two days and install was just the same. total cost including hardware was £125 which i am happy with

finished by hand in satinwood to match the rest of the room and to make it easier to repair after the kids get to it!

hopefully buys me a month respite!

Nice job. Looks really well. Beautiful job on scribing around the picture rail

Hi

That was the hardest part on the small return. Luckily I had an offcut of some old rail that the previous owner had in the loft to use as a copy

Thanks

Hi

Yeah I had two long LONG days in the shop

Roughly 20 hours, all primed and moulding cut to rough size

Made quicker that way

Looks good.
There is a lot (visually) of moldings in that room...

Gothca.  Now I don't feel quite as inferior.  Still beautiful though -- returns look spot on.
