A very long closet project

Machine breakdown, lots of resawing and some vacations mean that this project that was supposed to take 1 month, finishing late spring ended up getting finished at the end of the summer.

 

Demo and flooring happened in a weekend.


Paneling up and with some coats of finish on a week later (kind of - hand some "lights" projects that popped up which required me to go through the attic quite a bit).  Used the Fuji HVLP Semi-Pro 2 which made it finishing much faster!

Many of the panels resawed and glued up for the shelving.  But then the Hammer jointer/planer combo failed, bad motor, twice.  Handles for the drawer made of wood, shaped by hand and with lots of machine jigs.  20 hours for 15 handles!

With the new jointer/planer finished closet came pretty quickly.  Epic, used every scratch of 200bdft of doug fir and burned through an entire summer's worth of weekends.
