PatrickHosey Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 The bottle cubbies came out a tad bit off and it kills me, but not having a table saw makes it difficult to get straight edges for tongue and groove cubbies like that. It came out pretty good though considering... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckkisser Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 looks good you could cover up the gaps with a veneer or some kind of tiles or you could just ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepdarr Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Blame it on expansion. I think it looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickHosey Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 the expansion route sounds great hah. thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanWilley Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 That is a really nice job. It is a pity about the T&G's Maybe you could use a router table next time? It may be worth splicing a piece into the gaps at the front to disguise it. Just a suggestion. Looks great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbmaster11 Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Looks excellent... small edge band would conceal the T&G but cover the error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckkisser Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 while i was roofing a house i had a thought just take a chisel and open up the space a little bit and then fit in a decorative pieces of wood. then it will look like you intentionally did it. maybe put in a small piece of cherry wood or walnut to match you hinges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombuhl Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Put some expensive vino in the cubbies and a bit in you and the gaps will disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatrickHosey Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 if that ever happens again, i like the idea of cutting a splice out. just makes good sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duckkisser Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 i have gotten really really really good at hiding my mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlehikoinen Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 From the pictures, if you had said, "Where's my mistake?" I would have been hard pressed to find it. Agree that you could add some edging to the boards and cover it up if you really wanted to, but unless the verticals rattle when you pull out a bottle, I'd say leave it alone. It gives it a bit of a timeworn look. Love the proportions and the way you divided it up into sections. I'd almost say that the stiles for the doors were too thick, but not really. Those hinges add the correct balance to it all and the placement of the handles is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jHop Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 I agree with Pickering... But if you were looking for my input on how to hide the gaps, I'd say you might need to find some more brass similar to the existing hardware, and make some square stars, and fold the long points down to fit into the corner of the joints. It doesn't add stability, but it hides the gaps. The fear is that the brass square patches will dominate the piece, and you miss out on how wonderful it already is.

PatrickHosey Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Guys when I put this piece up, I was expecting to get some hard criticism by some seasoned wood workers, but I have been surprised by all of these awesome comments. Very much appreciated. Thanks everyone. Patrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMadson Custom Wood Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 " I was expecting to get some hard criticism by some seasoned wood workers, but I have been surprised by all of these awesome comments." Fine, I'll attack. I think it's horrible. All that work and I don't see any wine in the cubbies. What's up with that? But seriously , I would tack on matching strips of 1/8" - 1/4" wood on each horizontal. Match the color and use a pin nailer, you'll be the only one that knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
