Today, started on the doors, cut out all the holes in the front for the doors.
didnt get too far, got one door almost complete, its all clamped together, glue drying. sorry, no pics tonight, will post some tomorrow.
So, the doors... didnt end up routing them, CBF.
cut out the holes for the doors, trimmed the edges off that piece, glued it onto a piece of MDF and put some trimming around the edges.
They didnt come out very well considering the effort i put in.
oh well, you learn from your mistakes.
they arent having any door handles, the trim around the edges is slights wider then the door, so there is a gap between the door and the cabinet to get fingers in to to open in.
Also in these pics, the middle door, was actually meant to go on the side, hence why it has a different grain pattern to it. i have removed this and swapped with the right door. lol
Constructive critisism please...
