Is the door wired or did you use a cloth backing? It's very nice. Well finished.

Great job, Derek! It would make me smile everytime I made a sandwich.

I, too, am interested in how you made the tambour.

[Pappy]

Looks good, Derek. One off the 'Honey-Do' = one shop project!

Thanks for the kind words.
The Tambour was not as difficult as I thought it was going to be.
I used plans from "The Router workshop", they were a little confusing at first.
The tambour strips, I made 18 just in case I messed one or two up as the plan required 16, were cut to width and length plus 2" and then planed using my Ryobi 13"er down to 1/2" thick and at an angle using a jig built to TRW plan specs.
A 3/8" dia core box cutter was used on one side and a 3/8" bullnose on the other.
Another jig was made to hold each strip while I drilled a small hole in each end to allow for picture wire to be threaded through holding them all together.
An electrical wire clamp was used on each end with the one at the front being imbedded inside the thick lead strip, if you look closely you can see where the holes were plugged, the other end was just clamped off without being imbedded as you can't see them.
The base is only screwed in place, I used brass screws, because this would need to be removed should the tambour or the wire holding it together break in some way.
I did have to adjust the width of the box by 1" wider to allow for the width of bread we buy.
All was made from left over pine.
Once again thanks for the kind words and the wife was more than pleased.
