Hi Chuck,

You are right the "additions" to the carcass have changed the look. Looking good!

Reible, great pictures . We call these "french cleats" and cut a 30 degree miter on them. and use them on a lot on cabinets also there is another metal clip called the "Grant panel clip" but I'd have to look up the # for that but you only need a 1/4" set in for the back of your unit.

Dave - yes I did turn the bun feet. Since the recommended bun feet cost about $7.00 each, I decided to make my own. http://www.tablelegs.com/BunFeetAndOgee ... nFeet.aspx

Printed out a picture of the recommended foot (part No. supplied in the magazine). Since the print was very large, I gridded it with pencil and tried real hard to reduce it to the size on the web site. Reduced it 66%. This means the actual feet are about 65% the size of the print. Glued some 1/8" hardboard onto my drawing and sawed out a template.

Extra Note! - 1" grids on the print matched up with 5/8+" on the paper. Then had to split those grids in half in order to have enough squares to copy a reasonable facsimile.

Unfinished Snack Tray Cabinet

Post by charlese »

With the help of Tim the Gutterman, I was able to re-size these photos to fit the forum. Thanks Tim!

Probably the finishing of this project will take several weeks. But here are some photos to show the project as the construction phase came to an end.

I ordered the 5 knobs from Lee Valley, before starting the project. I received two in a couple of weeks, received one more a week later, and still have three on backorder. I needed at least 2 knob screws in order to finish the two trays.

The plans called for 4 trays and one drawer. We decided two trays will be plenty.

The second pix shows the long, shallow drawers and one of the trays. The third pix shows the drawer joints.
