So I've been given an ultimatum by "someone" close to me to get this project done. Has lit quite a fire under me. I've spent so much time in the shop I think my legs are suffering from it (I'm a runner and I just pulled my hamstring - I think it's hours of standing on concrete that made me stiff and sore). Are the two linked??
Here are a few pics. The armoire consists of solid stock for the entire exterior (frame and panels). The interior has a plywood shelf on top, a torsion box on the bottom of plywood, and the insert inside will also be plywood with walnut edging.
The pics include the carcass so far and a few snapshots of the front doors dry fit and wiped down with mineral spirits.
I'm now in the pre-finishing investigation stage. I'm going to finish the panels before I glue up. Then it's on to the base trim and upper crown (I'll try and snap some shots of these as I go too). Then of course once the panels are glued up and the trim is all on it finishing time.
