Here are a couple of photos of my current WIP. I really messed up on the pricing of this piece and currently am working for $3/hr. I have learned that even though it is smaller than a bed or a table, with three inset doors, it takes some time to complete.
Here is a picture of it with the mirror in it:
The two little doors are where the speaker fabric are going (previous post). The top left cubby is designed to hide a doorbell and the bottom left door will hide a thermostat. The customer wanted the piece to be symmetrical which means that there is a hidden compartment opposite the doorbell.
The mirror hinges went well, but the little doors are being a pain. I wanted hidden hinges on the little doors to give the piece a clean look, but it has been a challenge. I was going to use round barrel hinges, but they were not rated for vertical applications. I opted for blum 26mm mini european hinges, but currently the gap is too large on the hinge side. Tomorrow I will drum sand the door to reduce the thickness and hopefully reduce the gap.
There will be a shaker crown along the top. The customer wants a smaller version of crown also echoed along the bottom. I am really looking forward to finishing this project and moving on.
