Wife Bi-fold screen

[marlin adams]

My wife want me to first repair a set she had but they was made out of particule board and in pretty rough shape. So we went to Home Depot and got some 1"x3" select pine for the side pieces, 1"x6" for the top and bottom pieces and 1"x4" for the middle. The 3 panels are 70"x13".

I left all the boards the width they came in, cut the 1"x3"s to 70" long and the 6 pieces of 1"x6" I cut 7" long and rabbet 3 sides half the width of the board with 1/2" rabbets and the 1"x4"s I did all 4 sides the same way, fitted everything together with brads and glue and rub some dark walnut danish oil and attach the panels with the brass hinges off the old bi-fold screen.

The emblems and the furniture thumb tacks she got from hobby lobby and I attach them.

I cut some inserts to put into the spaces for her and she is decorating them right now. She wanted to be able to take them out and put them in with different designs.400037

Looks good, the changeable panels will keep it interesting. Please post pics when panels are in.

Sorry about the delay but here is the bi-fold screen with the panels my wife painted, later she wants me to cut some more panels where she can add removable designs.
