@YoungMedic: It's not at an end yet. Still got plenty to do!
Today I picked up some 1/2" ply for the cabinets for the tables so things match up. Also needed to grab some glue as I had ran out. First up was glueing the locking cabinets up before retiring to lunch and some quick work for clients.
To the left are the two boxes glued up and to the right is just after cutting them in half. Next up for those is to do the splines and internals along with paint/poly. I believe I'll stain the inside a solid poppy color - perhaps orange or a bright green? Not sure... Maybe yellow. Time will tell what tickles my fancy. Then some stencils on the outside and a clear coat to lock it all up before the hardware goes on.
Next up after lunch and sending some work to print, is a shelf/storage box kind of thing that will key into the bottom half of my 36x48" table. The top half has a lip as I'll store most of my cans of files, calipers, doodads... stuff that gets used often but takes up table top space presently. This way it will be close at hand, and can easily be taken out but quickly stored away. The long "tube" will house my filler wires, and lengths of material:
Detail of the joint. Since this will be bearing some weight, I constructed them a bit differently. The locking cabinets really won't carry weight per say so i made them slightly different. If that's confusing, I'll explain better once it's all together and the tools are hanging:
Lastly is the shell of a set of shelves for the long 8' table. This will key into place at one of the ends and have some adjustable shelving and perhaps a large bottom drawer. Time will tell once things are together and I'm using them. This goes together like the above with the two sides keying into place while the back has a slot on each side that it keys into. Glueing these up was pretty easy since they kind of hold themselves together:
That's all for today - have a meeting all day in Maine tomorrow with a client but back at it on Thursday. Till then:
