Sorry it has been so long since my last update of this project, but the "honey do list" needed some attention. Now that I have some of that done, I have been able to get back to the project.
I was not happy with the way the homemade crown molding turned out. It had some marks in it from the router that I thought I could sand out, but by time I sanded them out, i lost to much of the profile so I decided to tear it off and start over. Went with a store bought crown. It's OK i guess.
Got the 2 drawers built. They are just sitting there right now. I haven't installed any drawer slides yet. I thought I had some "on the shelf" but was not able to find 2 sets the right size. Tons of them the wrong size but... Ahh you all know how it is.
Got this thing set on a 2 x 4 base and wrapped it with some molding. Looks OK. Original design called for some fancy feet for it, but the cheapest I was able to find that I liked were 100 bucks. Not in the budget. The 2x4's and molding look great when compared to spending a 100 dollar bill.
I am going to start to design the cubby units for the open area of the bottom cabinet. These will be partially cut on my cnc machine. That should make life much easier than trying to do it by hand.
