This weekend I started another project for a friend. It is a set of Pine wardrobes which will incorporate a computer desk, shelves and a set of top cupboards. Here are a few of the WIP pics of the work so far.  Attached Thumbnails

Really nice project Mailee. Don't want my beloved to see this she would want one. Like Harry would say great photo shoot. I learned a lot just from the pics that you took. What kind of finish are you going to put onto it if it were me I'd keep it the way it is with a nice clear finish but that is just me.

Hi mailee You make my mouth water, I just love pine.  Like you a clear finish is just pleasing to my eyes, but as you say a customer is always right,,,,, "he who pays sets the rules" Really looking good from my view. What do you have the unit set on, looks like a building frame of sorts. Maybe my eyes are seeing ghosts in the forth picture. Looking real good!

No John, it is just the sash clamps at the bottom of the pic. At the moment it is just at the dry fit stage. It will sit on a frame which will raise the whole assembly by 4" which is required to clear the skirting boards for the lower drawer to open. It will be fitted close to a wall in the bedroom so dimentions will be tight. As for the Pine John it is a necessary evil for me as hardwood is so expensive this side of the pond, I certainly prefer working in hardwood but needs must I am afraid. | ||

You've put a lot of thought into the design Mailee and your construction leaves nothing to be desired.

 Well I have had to take a step backwards today as the wardrobe was too big to negotiate the stairs. I had to cut the wardrobe into two sections, upper and lower which houses the drawers. Well we all make mistakes don't we? I have just started work on the drawers and have finally put the drawer section in glue at last. I shall have more pics tomorrow when the drawers are finished. | ||

Hi mailee I have a storage cabinet I am in the process of building and had to do the same thing,,,,, two sections. Why do we always think big. Not a mistake "just looking for an alternative way to do it",
