Last night we had a rare, but brief, thunderstorm along with marble sized hail. It's always surprising to hear thunder here; it just doesn't happen too often. We were happy that our vehicles were tucked safely inside and that the hail just bounces off our rubber roof!
This morning, Jim headed back to the shop to continue working on the cabinet doors. He got edges primed...
Then he started doing the millwork on the remaining door pieces - all the groves cut...
He decided to set up this jig on his table saw to see if it would make cutting in the tongue portion a little easier.
Once he got it set up, it worked very well...
This millwork all done!
Primer was dry so he glued the pantry door panel together...
Time to cut the panel out of the other made door...
Taking off the stile...
Then getting the panel out...
However, when Jim got the panel out and inspected it, it had a slight bow in it so it might have been the culprit that caused the door to bow. Sigh... He'll have to remake a new panel now.
The good part is that hopefully Jim can reuse some of these pieces - they're set aside for now.
But just to see what would happen, Jim is trying to over stress the panel and see if he can straighten it. Can't hurt - we'll see what it looks like tomorrow!
And sometimes you don't have enough clamps! Jim used all his clamps and was able to glue up three more door assemblies...
Next, he cut panels for the other doors...
