It’s been a might hectic this morning, gettin’ all the computers on line, But Sherri did it. What a pain, anyway, I’ve been working diligently on the Clothes Press. Thought I would give you some pics to take a look at. What I can’t show you in still pictures is how nice the sides open. I used 3 heavy brass hinges from Horton Brasses, I wanted good sound hinges because this is a lot of door. Billy was by yesterday and he asked why I didnt just make a door on the side and I explained that I could have, but I didnt want any evidence of it being there and I would have had a seam on the side and would have had to put a knob or pull or something to open the door and I didnt want that. One would not expect the entire side and front to open, so it makes for a neat piece. I used magnets to close and hold the side closed, when you close the side it will get with in an inch of closing and then just close its self. I used 6 magnets per door, 1/2″ in diameter and put a magnet in the case and in the door , so its magnet to magnet, this is after all alot of door, but it sure works nice , a light push on the side and it opens, sweet…… Okay, I got the base molding on the base and all the feet, final assembled the interior top case and hung the doors. Fitted the door and made the column moulding to finish the front off, so now its on to the crown, then some hardware, locks and some drawers and we will have it….will do the huntboard doors and drawers at the same time I do the press. Both of these pieces have taken a fair amount of time because we have filmed a lot of the doings of them for cases and bases because both offer up some unique challenges, but both are coming quite nicely, later yall…
