Starting on the finishing wood work

I am now back at Retford for a week or so to sort some final stuff out with the house and a friend of mine who owns a joinery workshop has offered to let me use his equipment to finish it.  Today I made a start on the cupboards above the computer desk.

My first attempt at doing this was a disaster as I had planned on having 3 doors.  When trying to fit this I found that the right hand door caught on the wood where the blinds for the window go.  I am now redoing it with 2 doors.

You can see the big saw in the background that was used to cut the holes out nice and square.  Thanks Chris…

My next post will be a catch up on photo’s to give you some idea of where I am now at and how I got here.
