Screen Test (Part Two)


Next Article: Screen Test (Part One)

 

Previous Article: Sharp Practice

In last month’s episode, I looked at making the frames for the framed and panelled parts of this oak cabinet.

The actual panels for the sides and the doors could be made from oak in the solid, but in this case I used some 6mm oak-veneered MDF, partly to save a little time, but mainly to avoid any embarrassing shrinkage.

After all, this cabinet was going to share its space with a rather scary-looking wood burning stove, and some rather proficient looking radiators.
