Sanding the Cabinets
With the trim all glued up and dry, and the weather nice and warm, I decided to take the cabinets outside to have the trim sanded flush. I start with 80 grit to get all the bits nice and close, and then move to 120 grit with the random orbit sander in preparation for staining.
Everything looking pretty good on the right-hand cabinet
And now for the left-hand cabinet
I'm under the impression that I mistakenly sanded this edge too much prior to installation, because I thought that I was going to have to squeeze this end into the dado cut at the back of the drawer. Woops! Hopefully that won't show up too much after staining.
And, a bit of glue squeeze-out that I missed previously is easily taken care of by the sander
I'll be staining over the weekend, so some fresh and shiny cabinets await for next weeks early update!
Have a good weekend folks!
Canadian Tire Sales over the past few years Well worth it!Dude you got a butt load of clamps....
Hehe, well, for the right price....Was thinking the same thing.
