    DVD Cabinet, plywood for the back.JPG
    5.2 mm thick. Will cut to size, as soon as I know what the sizes will be...need to cut some thin Poplar...
    DVD Cabinet, Poplar for shelves.JPG
    To make a couple shelves. Once I locate where they will go....a dado will be milled.
    Have 2 planks of Ash brought into the house...after a road trip to buy them....8bf = $10...12 miles each way....4/4 x 6 x 8' planks...will use the best of the two planks to build the door...and then some sort of base....
    Stay tuned..
    As for the set up on the Stanley 45..

    DVD Cabinet, dry fit 1.JPG
    And, pre-set all the clamps ( should have just enough?)

    And make sure the DVDs will fit....

    had enough glue, and enough clamps...for a change..
    DVD Cabinet, glued up, rear view.JPG
    Top was glued and screwed into place...
    DVD Cabinet, trim the back....JPG
    Stanley #5 to trim the edges a smidge on the plywood back panel, before it was nailed in place.
    DVD Cabinet, back installed.JPG
    Added LONG clamps from mid top to the bottom...made standing this thing up a bit awkward
    DVD Cabinet, front view, glued up.JPG
    Waiting on glue to dry...again..
    let this sit a day...then work on a base, and then build a door...
    Stay tuned

    May get the clamps off this evening. While straightening the bandsawn edge of the plywood panel....brushed a few "whiskers" off the edge with my thumb....one such whisker went into my thumb...as a splinter Oww....

    Need to start on a base, today...maybe. Kind of a wrap-around the bottom of the case thing....shaped a bit to match the top's front edge....and produce feet for this to sit on. maybe a rebate?
    Maybe a thin "face frame" up the sides? and shpe the edges of the door to meet up with the sides, and the base?

    Single Brain Cell Sketch Up is working on the "details"....
    Stay tuned...

    Clamps came off....got a splinter off a thread from a clamp in my index finger, while hanging the clamp up...hate when the happens.

    Have a long enough 1 x 2 for the base....or just make something else. Thinking a door panel, with just narrow bread board ends? Instead of a frame and panel. May haul one of the 1 x 6 x 8' planks to the shop...and see about a panel...maybe a book-match of 2 boards? trim down to cover the door opening...?Add 3/4 x 3/4 ends? Then go around the outside edges with either a round-over, or a cove bit...?

    Then decide which side to add the brass hinges to....
    Waiting on Moose and Squirrel to deliver the plans....i hear they are being printed out at "Whatsamatter U." Stay tuned..

    Clean up....used the vise to hold the case in place on the bench...sides...
    DVD Cabinet, working on a side.JPG
    Bottom...
    DVD Cabinet, bottom cleaned up.JPG
    And sanded to top of the top. Marked out the 1 x 2 for the mitersaw..
    DVD Cabinet, miter a foot.JPG
    Cut the one 1 x 2 in half, with enough left over to check the fit at the corners
    DVD Cabinet, test a miter cut.JPG
    Then cut the longer 1 x 2 for across the front of the case. Took two set ups...had to swing the saw around to the other 45 setting for the second cut..
    DVD Cabinet, other miter cut.JPG
    Finger clamp acts as a helping hand, and keeps parts from sliding around. Cut out a pattern for the front, and some 90 degree cuts for glue blocks..
    DVD Cabinet, foot parts, and pattern.JPG
    Saved one of the cut outs, as a pattern for the sides. Once the glue has set a day, I can make the cut outs in the side feet. 2" screws, counter-bored, to attach the foot assembly to the case, may even reinforce the corners with a screw from the side.

    When Tuesday gets here ( on the wind?) I can see about a door.....thinking a book-matched slab, with narrow bread-board ends...
    Stay tuned..

    DVD Cabinet, glue block installed.JPG

    DVD Cabinet, feet test fit side view.JPG
    Details?
    DVD Cabinet, foot details.JPG
    Once the front is out of the clamps, I'll attach all three to the case....still debating on edge profiles...
    Stay tuned

    Ok..there will be a pause....the wood splinter had to be dug out of my left thumb, today. Yes, they numbed the thumb...guess what is wearing off about...now.

    Secondly...some of the F clamps are getting a bit old, area where the threads are is wearing down a bit....enough that a sliver engaged my right index finger, while I was hanging the clamp up...that wasn't nice. Managed to get THAT metal sliver out...

    had run out of glue, too....and needed some 1" long screws...

    Kind of need both thumbs to do any work...may take a day off.
    Stay tuned...

    Some of the hazards to moving a long plank to the shop?
    DVD Door Build, shop door.JPG
    Shop door...after you get past the stove, and under the 7' ceilings...
    DVD Door Build, hang a right.JPG
    And make sure it is the correct door..
    DVD Door Build, shop signs.JPG
    And open the door to see this...
    DVD Door Build, stairway to....JPG
    Circled area is a floor joist, that sits about 5' above the 4th step...right about shoulder height. been know to smack into it a few times....

    After making all the way to the shop floor, you have to do a "Left Face!"..
    DVD Door Build, hang a left.JPG
    And drop the plank to be worked on at the bench..
    DVD Door Build, drop the plank.JPG
    And, use the shop's trash can as a prop..
    DVD Door Build, holding up it's end.JPG
    Then, I am ready to go to work...

    Clamps came off...
    C clamps storage.JPG
    And the c clamps put away....one end needed trimmed a bit..laid out 2 lines....one a cut line, one for the saw guide..
    DVD Door, trim lines.JPG
    Then set the guide in place, and clamp things down..
    DVD Door, Speed square set up.JPG
    Then make the cut..
    DVD Door, Trim saw cut.JPG
    The Trim saw?
    DVD Door, saw logo.JPG
    laid out for the other end, allowing for the bread board ends...then started up on flattening the panel, after the ends were trimmed..
    DVD Door, flattening.JPG
    The plane?

    There is a slight problem... in that the panel is a hair too narrow. Seems I took a smidge too much off jointing. Maybe a 1/16" on the sides..each side. I could just add a strip along one edge..meh. Or...make a narrow frame, and make the panel a raised panel? Have to see what I have on hand....and figure a way to groove the narrow frame parts...

    Took today off, from the shop. I did replace the front porch light, if that counts as working...

    See how tomorrow goes....maybe a 1" square frame, around a raised panel? Hmmm...also need to decide which way the grain patterns will run, which way would look better, up or down..

    Stay tuned...( maybe thinking too much?)
