Popular Post Tmize Posted September 2, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 We have been finally get around to finishing remodel on our dining room. The wife want a little buffet table for in to store serving an decor stuff. I started digging around google for something to meet her spec’s. The frame is popular with birch ply panels. The top is going to a nice piece of figured walnut I’ve be hoarding. The door panels insert will be walnut also flat panel on the outside an either revealed rabbet or beveled on the inside. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmize Posted September 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 She picked out a bluish green milk paint she liked (a first time for me). The top will BLO the few coats of wipe on poly. I’ve been researching grain filling I may give it a shot on this one. I’ve read that it muddy the grain sometimes. I’ll try it out on some offcuts first.

Alan G Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Very nice! Can’t wait to see what it looks like with some finish on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 IMO , forgo the grain filling and let walnut be walnut. The three cutouts in the middle, drawers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wdwerker Posted September 2, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 If you want that glass smooth finish on walnut you can use multiple coats of sanding sealer and sand until almost bare wood till the pores are filled w clear finish then apply your varnish , lacquer etc. This fore goes any muddy look. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tmize Posted September 10, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 I had little bit of time this weekend to work on it. Got the frame built for the bottom to sit on. When I pulled the bottom glue up out of the clamps it had cupped a lil so I flatten it again. Wasn’t much took about a 1/16 out of it. Planed finish even makes popular look good. The bottom panel will act as the bottom drawer slide so it needed to be flat an square to the face frame. So when I built the frame work for it to sit on I used a cut off of the panel to flush it up to the front frame an the adjustable to set the back off of it. I’ve still have to dado the bottom to accept the drawer web frame assembly it will be rabbetted to slide in 1/4 grooves in back an front frames. Then next is the drawer frame assembly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmize Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 @Chet I keep looking back at your sideboard build for ideas an inspirations. I’ve never built from plans nearly always a picture or sketch is all so getting all the parts to work together is challenging. When you was the web frame assembly the individual panels dividing the drawer you cut a dado to accept it. Was it just like a 1/8” or so for positioning. My thinking is if I go much deeper I will hit my tenon. I roughed out my materials the last night an offset my groove back off center a 1/8 or so. I’m thinking of doing more of a half lap joint instead of m&t to keep it from being a problem but should I not worry so much since it will not have any or much stress on it?

Chet Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Mine was a little different construction then yours. Mine didn't have a face frame, the drawer case was built separate and then inserted between the top sub frame and the bottom. The dados holding the web frames were 1/4 inch because they were some what structural. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tmize Posted October 16, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I’ve slowly been pecking away at it. Life has gotten in the way. But the frame work is done milled and cut down the drawer parts an got them ready and laid out for dovetails 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmize Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 It’s been a good project. Only real mistake was when the stiles for the main case work I cut one 2” shorter some how so I cut the rest to match. I didn’t see much difference then in my layout but now that I that I cut the drawer faces an placed them in the drawer width look wrong to the door openings now. Is it just me or are the portions off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmize Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I like that idea. Maybe a spilt panel but that might take away from the traditional style I’m going for. Off the top of my head I can’t think of a shaker piece that has spilt panel doors in it maybe I’m wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
