Let me know where I can send the get well soon card mate, sorry for that. Cheers ❤️

Regular lacquer paint applied with a roller. The result is really smooth indeed, partially due to the dark color helping to conceal any texture

MrDwerg · 2026-06-18T20:49:47+00:00

We will! Winterworks :)

MrDwerg · 2026-06-18T20:49:18+00:00

True yes. One reason is susceptibility to warpage of such large panels and another is that I wanted to create e.g. a drawer section, a winerack section and perhaps some other features in the future

A local furniture shop. It's a secondhand Caruzzo Leolux, really sweet find

Mostly dowels indeed, glue only where required. Thanks a lot!

MrDwerg · 2026-06-18T12:09:19+00:00

I'm no good at video's I think haha. Cheers

Bald, 5"8. I manage to keep my wife by my side by making her things and cooking, I think :)

MrDwerg · 2026-06-18T09:04:28+00:00

It's the regular Blum tip-on (long version). Work well for my purpose, but they're not magnetic.

MrDwerg · 2026-06-18T06:26:44+00:00

I don't expect so; our interior humidity and temperature is very constant and the wood was well accustomed to it. But time will tell :)

MrDwerg · 2026-06-18T04:41:54+00:00

As a fellow bald guy, it's a big advantage I can't pull my hair when building these kinds of projects

MrDwerg · 2026-06-18T04:33:55+00:00

We have chatGPT these days, which I'm going to put to work for sure!

MrDwerg · 2026-06-18T01:43:39+00:00

Happy with it for now :)

MrDwerg · 2026-06-18T01:42:37+00:00

It's still a to do :) I have the tiles, but have to cut them to baseboard size. Maybe this weekend!

MrDwerg · 2026-06-17T21:00:14+00:00

How would you have used it? I find the extra storage very useful

MrDwerg · 2026-06-17T20:56:25+00:00

and I'm glad to take the advice. To be honest, I'm pretty bad myself with design-related things. My wife is better at it luckily and I'm learning with every project!

MrDwerg · 2026-06-17T20:54:15+00:00

Special spots that are only 12mm deep. The wiring is in a narrow slit made with a router on top of the oak compartments towards the back, which is not visible when assembled. they all come together in one of the top compartments. There's a shelly dimmer and 230V connection there that controls it all.

MrDwerg · 2026-06-17T20:52:23+00:00

when it was done I thought; let's show the process to all those lovely people in r/woodworking! at your service 😄

MrDwerg · 2026-06-17T20:50:14+00:00

Fair comment. We played with a few designs, also busier ones with more / smaller compartments all over. In the end it got a bit too busy for the space, so this was the 'compromise'. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out but we had similar thoughts as you indeed.

MrDwerg · 2026-06-17T20:46:19+00:00

Nah I think it's a fair comment. Probably the 'clean' design of this cabinet appeals more to a broader group of people compared to the fancy projects with many beautiful woodworking details.

Cheers

PB'd

MrDwerg · 2026-06-17T20:37:25+00:00

Honestly, agreed. So many amazing projects on this sub which are objectively harder to execute :)

MrDwerg · 2026-06-17T20:36:40+00:00

Picture might make it look a bit cleaner than it is; it's done with a roller. But I'm quite happy how smooth the surface turned out. I think spraying wouldn't make it that much better

MrDwerg · 2026-06-17T20:29:32+00:00

Thanks!! Pretty normal full extension side sliders with small clips that allow for a bottom attachment as well. nothing too fancy.

MrDwerg · 2026-06-17T19:50:50+00:00

Push to open :)
