wtnhighlander Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 @curlyoak, is that left side going to house a pull-out of some sort, or is there some other reason for the boxed construction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put an end cap on it. It is visual. Just the outside panel alone would appear minimal. Also it is a lot stronger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post curlyoak Posted November 5, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 Put an inlaid cap on the left bulkhead. Top is done. Added a foot rest/stretcher. Drawers are next. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post curlyoak Posted November 11, 2022 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Above I have fitted the drawers. My preference for friction drawers is a center guide no friction on the bottom of the center guide. All friction is on the drawer side bottom. Above, glued in drawer stops. I have rubbed paraffin on the moving parts. very smoooth. Next a pull out on the bottom for a printer. Then some sanding then varnish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curlyoak Posted November 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 Above is a drawer face upside down. The wood behind is the bottom of the drawer side. The face is above the side to create the reveal. Above, I had a pair of kv 8400 on hand and cobbled up a way to use them on a pullout for a printer. I just put on the first coat of varnish. I will have more pics when I am done varnishing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
