Re: Poplar & Oak Cabinet
Hi BA
Yes I won't be going any further until the unit is assembled and in place. I find getting the hinges done at this point makes it a lot easier. I could have used blum hinges which would have made my life a lot easier but for this project I prefer the look of the mortise hinges on the front.

Re: Poplar & Oak Cabinet
Managed to get the oak top machined up last night. The top is 450 width x 2100 length x 20mm thickness. I've numbered the boards (which you probably can't see) in the sequence I want them to appear when I glue up. I'm also going use biscuits to join each board.

Re: Poplar & Oak Cabinet
Some more photos. I've a few things left to do such as fitting skirting to the base of the unit and two slips to fit to the front of the unit. I can then give a final finish sand to everything and apply base coat and lacquer.

Re: Poplar & Oak Cabinet
Are you still going to paint the base part? I like your corner cramp solution

Re: Poplar & Oak Cabinet
That looks fantastic CM, good job.
For the top, did you use Sash clamps for the glue up? I'm new to woodworking and need to buy clamps as I don't have any, however clamps arent cheap when you need to buy 5/10 for a table top, so I want to make sure I buy the correct ones!

Re: Poplar & Oak Cabinet
Hi Mike
Yes I used sash clamps (see photo) for the glue up, 6 in total. If you can stretch your budget I would recommend purchasing t-bar clamps. The are more expensive but are a lot easier to use. Sash clamps have a tendency to fall over when you are trying to clamp your work. T-bar clamps stay upright and the steel is very straight and rigid compared to sash clamps.
