After a lot of iron on edge banding, it's done. It's as done as it's going to get
without having to buy a new tool.

I made inset doors and drawers which presented some issues. Firstly, there's
only one type of inset hinge for frameless cabinets sold at HD. The doors only
open 90deg, but they were easy to install.
The dog is not that interested in my handywork.
There should be a door covering the sewing machine cabinet. However, my
drill and bit can't fit in that space to drill holes for the hinges. I'll need a
right angle drill attachment to finish it off. Oh well.
The drawers were a piece of cake to build. I used salvage plywood from work. Cut
to size, brad nail and glue the sides together. Cut bottom to size and brad
nail and glue to bottom. Mount epoxy sides. Slide into cabinet. Oh S**T!
It's 1/2" too wide. Slides require 1" clearance, not 1/2"!!! I couldn't pound the
box apart because of the glue. I put a new circular saw blade into my TS and
cut through the brads on one side of the drawer. I reassembled them and
got them mounted.
Next comes drawer fronts. Why is my plant on drawer front proud of the cabinet?
I thought I measured this?!!! SOB, drawer is 1/8" too long! Rather than break
the drawer down again, I ran the melamine fronts through the planer. Blades
were old anyway.
Next project....
