Echo Base Shelf
Part 3
The Hanger Door is next. The top of the opening is 2x with a rabit edge routed in the back bottom to overlap the 2 luan pieces that will make up the open door. The sides are 1x and will be attached to the luan.
The "Teeth" of the door is layed out and the areas to be cut are X'd out.
After cutting out the X's on the Bandsaw the edges are sanded on the Stationary belt sander.
The three teeth are doubled up with a luan cap to give the door a corrugated look. Then the edges are puttied to mold in the caps.
Final assembly is done after sanding, priming, and painting the componants.
The Wiring Harness is next. I'm using the harness from the playset because practice makes perfect.
After laying out the jagged edge a dado is cut in the top of the carcass.
Holes are drilled into the dados for the stranded cables that will hold the wires to the carcass.
The wires are layed out and the cables are pulled to a loose fit and the ends are hot glued. Then the whole assembly is painted.
Here's the first one made for Echo Base Shelf.
