TV unit WIP

[jfc]

This is the start of the unit i wanted to use the mitre lock cutter for . The spec was modern looking and chunky .

The side panels getting made






A few of the base units assembled and the side panels clamped in place

[dirtydeeds]

jfc why are you making it in moisture resistant MDF, it looks green to me.

im also adding a comment because no other bugger has seen fit to say anything

[jfc]

I mis heard the customer , i thought they said they wanted it to look Hulky but the said bulky ;D

On a serious note , because this lot say it machines better and paints up easier . So far on the machining they are right .

[dom]

And we're right on the painting too ;D

[dirtydeeds]

dont you hate it when clever gits or lawyers open their mouths

50% of the time they are right

[dirtydeeds]

maybe they are wrong about the painting

[dom]

or not ;D

[jfc]

A bit more done today

[thallow]

Are all the inside uprights hollow boxes made with the mitre lock cutter? Would never thought that, looks really efffective so far!

[jfc]

Yes every thing that would normally be end grain MDF has been mitre locked . It's not that much hassle once the cutter is set up . One thing i will say is if your going to use the mitre lock cutter wear gloves as the MDF is razor sharp

[colincott]

Looking nice Jason

I guess it all worked out then

[jfc]

Yup ;D
Colin nipped round to eat pizza and i was having a problem with the top . The problem ended up with one of the base units out of line so throwing the worktop out by about 4mm and the top by 10 mm . Had to take the whole thing apart to find out it was a thin crust meat feast box mashed up between the units ;D

[engineerone]

surprised it wasn't a cheese filled deep round one

now will you think about a tidier workshop jason ;D

looks nice though

First coat of primer .

[jake]

I just hope you voted option 6 in my poll, ffs.

erm, where's one of those smiley things, oh here you go

[cnc paul]

Hey Jason,

It’s looking good........... are you going to deliver it in one piece ?


Paul

[jfc]

No chance ;D The top part is seperate down to the work top and the base units and plinth are another part . The two end panels also come away .

[jfc]

Just for Andy ;D

[jfc]

Finally got the carcass ready for a top coat so check the shelves before i spray them up .

[pj]

Jason
What paint are you using to finish this with and do you use one of the turbine jobbies to spray with?
Do you not get problems with dust in the top coat

Well, I followed your post about the mitre lock cutter and I have to say, the results are looking good. Very neat and sharp.

Regards.

[jfc]

The dust isnt really a problem as my build area is under cover but outside so the air born dust isnt there like it would be in the workshop . Im using Steve Maskerys old HVLP that he sold to Roger and then i bought it from him so i think those two would know more about it . All i know is it works ;D

The mitre lock cutter has been great for this sort of job .

A few pics of the doors .

[dom]

Have you used trick photography Jase, or did you actually fit those Accurides quite well ? ;D

[jfc]

It took half a flipping day to get them right Bloody things !

I dont like the doors , they are to bland but it's in the spec . I think they should at least be shaker doors .

[dom]

I like them, Shaker wouldn't look right
