Another weekend project: the starting of cabinets for the cabin....



I just started on my cabinet for my cabin today by using a 4X8 laminate sheet my boss gave me the other day. I did this today after my big road ride with about 7 other riders, there are a lot more road riders than mountain bikers! It is sad, because mountain biking is a better sport. Anyways, it was fun then I decided to put the bottom cabinet together today and I was planning on putting the top cabinet together too but I ran out of time, maybe I will do the top cabinet(cabinet for dishes) during the week next week. My boss ordered some birch for me to use for the face frame, doors, and drawers last Friday. I had to pay for that though, he's going to take that out of my next paycheck. The birch wood is coming this Monday so I will be able to get this cabinet done pretty soon. I will have to work at my work in the shop to do the doors and drawers. I can do everything else at home. So, next week, I will make the face frame and skin the cabinets(the 3/16" birch plywood on the sides). So, piece of cake, I think I can get these cabinets done in a few weeks. This is a fun project and will be a boost for the cabin! I am going to put the refridgerator and a little microwave on top of the bottom cabinet and put dishes and stuff in the top cabinet. Put other stuff(who knows what?) in the drawers, for sure I will put a garbage can inside of the bottom cabinet. I can't wait to see how pretty it will look in the cabin!
