One Project Down, Another Project Ready To Go

Finally finished the face frames on the built-in bookcases, and they are now done except for painting (and my lovely wife is going to take care of that).

Here is the "finished" product that still needs some "finish".

Now on to new and (gasp) even bigger things. We are going to take a wall out of the Kitchen and open it up to the dining room, and where the wall was, we're going to put in a new set of Cabinets with a built in breakfast bar. The run of cabinets is going to be 8' long.

We started out with a hand sketch:

I then took this to Sketchup and rendered some views:

Did I mention I have to have these cabinets done by Friday? No? Thank goodness for the Kreg Pocket Hole Jig! I really just need to get the cabinet(s) into this stage shown below. I'm going to build in 4 pieces and bring them into the house one at a time.

Maybe I will be able to post a quick update each day this week to show progress.

Comment by Waynee on July 31, 2011 at 10:46pm: Looks great. Would love to see more pics of the build and, by now I'm sure you're finished, the completed masterpiece.

Comment by Kerry Drake on August 31, 2010 at 5:17am: I did everything James said, including buying the book, Sketchup: The Missing Manual.

Comment by John R. Allen on August 30, 2010 at 10:43pm: Hi Kerry, the cabinet project you finished looks pretty nice. By the way, how did you learn to use Sketch Up?
