The MDF carnage continues...
Thought it was about time to post an update to the cabinet saga. I now have four carcasses built, face frames and all. Now it's time to engineer some doors...
Here are three of the cabinets awaiting some paint:
And the last cabinet, freshly unclamped. This one is going to be the guinea pig for the door making process, which should be an adventure in and of itself... On top you can see the three shelves I made for inside the cabinets...more MDF with a piece of poplar attached to the front with biscuits and glue. Needless to say, the biscuit joiner has seen some serious duty on this project.
I chose to make the face frames out of poplar. As everything will be painted white, I thought that it would be a waste to use oak or another expensive hardwood, but that pine would be too soft to stand up to prolonged usage. The face frames were put together with pocket screws (that pocket jig is cool!) and attached to the carcass with biscuits and glue.
