curlyoak Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 The neighbors have a few cats. The three of them started acting like kittens. Part of the route was a corner of a shelf in a big bookshelf unit. The particle board upright end piece is bent over. And there it sits. Until I get done. 4 file drawers and 2 simple frame and panel to be made and installed. Home depot shop grade birch ply. Above is 3/4 ply with poplar face, doors and drawer faces .Adjustable shelves. Neighbor paints face and drawer faces white. 2 coats of sealer inside drawers and inside. Installed wall to wall, outside ends unfinished. 1/2" scribe both sides. Thanks gee-dub for the knock down table idea. I don't have the space for an additional bench but this one goes together quick. When it comes time to hang the doors and drawers I will use this table and stay off the floor. Much to painful for my old bones. Having it up is going to be much better! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 I’m confused, how are the cats related to this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These 2 elderly and one yearling cats were racing around and one of them used the corner of one of the shelves as part of the race course. The weight and speed of the cat and the weakness of the particle board caused the vertical end piece of the bookcase to partially fold. I think it was on a dado. If it didn't break I would not be invited to build. Thank you kitty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at your old age, you should remember what a "cat house" is. Jeez! And that ain't it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post curlyoak Posted May 4, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 4, 2020 Got the doors hung as well as the drawers. I am gluing up poplar for the drawer faces. A few more details. Having it off the floor is much better for my old bones. I like this collapsible table. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post curlyoak Posted May 6, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 My build is done. I will help installing. The customer paints it white. The shelf standards will be installed after painting. Knobs are on order. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post curlyoak Posted June 8, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 A benjamin Moore product. Applied with a small diameter roller. Looks sprayed. Installed. All the walls were against me. I hate net fit installs. And it is tighter at the face than the back. And the cat that generated the project. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Chandrasekar Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Nicely done. I have learnt one thing today - use a small diameter roller instead of a brush to get a good finish. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something new to me and I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
