Notice that I have set the shelf 1/4" below the rail. I have added a second 3/4" bottom that sticks up 1/2". It serves as a door stop at the bottom of the door. It also stops 1 1/2" from the styles. This is for the pocket door travel.

I have also added a door stop for the top of the doors. It also stops 1 1/2" from the styles.

This is the hardware.

The doors require a 35 mm hole for the cup hinge 5 mm from the edge and 2 1/2" to the center from the top and bottom.


To be continued

Next step is to insert the hinges. I use a straight edge and a # 5 vix bit to predrill the screw holes.

Now clip the pocket glides to the hinges. A wooden following strip 1/2" thick and 3 inches wide will have to be attached to the glides. In this position it is easy to measure the length.

Following strip attached.

Now I measure for the screw locations in the cabinet.


Tune in tomorrow

Mark

From these measurement I have determined that my first screw should be 1 7/8" up and 2 7/8" inn from the front of the face frame.





[ATTACH]5257[/ATTACH]



With that information I draw a line on my build out block at 1 7/8". I then mark 2 7/8" in and use a punch to start my screw. (Edit) Before starting the next step, seperate the door from the glides by unclipping the hinges. I then screw the glide at this point. Sorry I didn't get a pic of that operation.

With the bottom glide attached at the front now I just locate the line and attach the back of the glide. The bottom is secure for now.







[ATTACH]5259[/ATTACH]



I have also drawn a line at the top at 2 7/8" and with the following strip pulled as far forward as possible to the hole I attach the top glide with a screw.







[ATTACH]5260[/ATTACH]



Now with 3 screws in slide the following strip as far to the back as possible and attach with another screw.







[ATTACH]5261[/ATTACH]



This is the glides attached with 4 screws and the following strip pulled as far forward as it will go. In this location you can clip the door back on. I have intensionally used the slotted screw holes that will allow for front to back adjustment if needed. As with all European hinges there is a lot of adjustment available.

I have clipped the door on to check the fit and have lucked out. It is very close.







[ATTACH]5263[/ATTACH]



I push it into the pocket and check for any problems.






[ATTACH]5264[/ATTACH]



Now I place this roller so that the door doesn't rub on the door stops. Now as they say just rinse and repeat.

Cabinet with doors and drawer fronts in place. I will add more screws to the glides when I reinstall everything after staining. OH and that wood filler and those pencil marks will be sanded out as well.



Mark

Very Nice Work. Love the hidden drawer glides.

Those Blum Slides that you showed looked great, the first time I used them they were a little hard to understand but once you get the hang of them they are fabulous. I have used them on a few of my cabinets in the past and once the new clients get to see them in operation they all want them. More $$$$

Welcome to the forum. It is nice to have more neighbors north of the border involved.

Thanks for joining.

Thanks for the welcome, I have been a Shopsmith owner now since 1987 when I picked up my first new 510, since then I have been the scouring the area like a Canadian Beaver picking up Shopsmith machines in my area. I am up to (1)510, (2) 500's and surdry other items. The last was a machine sitting in an outside container for 4 years a 500 model and it had the jigsaw, jointer, belt sander, ring master and a few incidentals all for $450Cdn about $380US. I was only after the attachments the third machine was just a pure bonus, I plugged it in at home and it ran like a kitten, it just purrrrrrred. Not bad for a machine left on the fast setting and untouched for 4 years. Glad to be among a group of people who are dedicated.

Hi, Dan - always nice to have another Canuck, Hey!
Boy! you really got a deal on that last 500!
