Don't argue with the boss Gary, I agree with all three "suggestions" especially the hinges.

Good afternoon guys. It has been a productive morning. (Previewing these pictures tells me I may have had too much coffee.)

Harry I agree with you. The boss is always right. And when I think otherwise, I reminded to go back to rule one.

Picture 1: I cut a chunk of 4 X 4 which will add weight to the bottom to keep this little jewel from falling over too easily. Not to be picky but the height/base ratio, as Zook says 24 high on a 6 X 8.5 base is not exactly ideal. That 4 X 4 will help with that.

Picture 2: I have ran a 3/4 straight bit to support the shelves a bit. I'm also going to add a brace.

Picture 3: I used a 1/4 straight for the back which will be fiberboard since I seem to have more than my share of it at the moment.

Picture 4 and 5: I have some mullion strip left over for another project and decided I could split it to give support and a decorative touch above and below the shelves.

In general, I decided to have the door placed between the two shelves. It seems more practical and removes the possibility of someone placing a snifter carelessly on the door top, which if it was the open, would result in a broken glass.

Enough for today.

Picture 1: Here's a comparison of the original and the one we're building. Pretty close even with the changes.

Picture 2: The back edge is pushed up a little but we can sand it some and once we put the sash in place it won't show.

Picture 3: I put in the split mullion placing it back 3/4" so when I install the door it will fit flush.

I did kick myself once or twice thinking I should have put the mullion on the back as well. Of course, I do have the option of coping a couple of pieces to fit in that space. And I could do that with an exacto knife.

Except for minor inconveniences I'm enjoying this. I hope everyone else is enjoying it as well.

Thanks for the kind words harry.

Sad to say I didn't get anything done today. I don't understand 'spring' cleaning in the winter but I suppose that is a woman thing, so I helped move furniture and played chauffeur.

Tomorrow I'll play chauffeur for the kid since he is going home to enjoy his Christmas Wii.

I'll be back on it by Saturday unless the dogs find something that really, really needs doing this moment.

I haven't forgotten this project, I've just been tied up on other things. Today I decided what I had started might make better trivets. So tomorrow, God willing, I'm back at it.
