We delivered a nice Art Deco influenced sideboard/bar last week ... It was a fun and challenging project. Someone referred to it as Dean Martins Bar ... I lived in Palm Springs in 1970 for a winter, and it would have been right at home in the house we rented for sure ... The design was a quick sketch I doodled off after a series of rejected CAD drawings ... Sometimes the quickest drawings are the best ... Anychoice, there was more to building this then first meets the eye when you look at the sketch. Click the pictures to enlarge them ... Trevor fluted the legs on the cnc ... we stopped the detail at the tops and bottoms of the door/panels Will then mortised the legs and created the back and side panels We couldnt come up with any choice to easily do the concentric squares, so we filled the micro pin holes with hide glue and walnut sawdust and sanded them off the next day ... worked sweet and even took the stain and paint ... Panels finished and case parts ready to assemble Assembly without the panels After we applied the moldings to the 1/2" mdf doors, we had to rabbet the door edges and install solid wood edges ... hence the masking tape in this photo Corner and door close up.....stainless steel knife hinges from Brusso Hardware Trevor put the lights in even though they were cut from the budget ... We had them on hand from another project and it didnt seem right without them ... Then we mocked up up the metal end pieces and mirror frame size and got those dimensions all finalized The finishing process for this piece involved applying a coat of fairly strong brown/red aniline dye, sanding that pretty aggressively and then applying a second coat of the stain along with some black latex paint at the same time ... That mix was sponged around until it looked right and then polished about a half hour later with steel wool and paper towels ... This paint/stain mix makes a nice durable finish as is, but we alchoices add a couple top coats of oil varnish mix for a little shine ... I finished my kitchen with this finish 10 years ago and with a little damp spongeing it comes back to looking pretty much like new ... I have reoiled once or twice in the last 10 years ... Before the oil coats after With the steel galleries by Sam in plce. They had threaded rods welded to their bottoms and were bolted on from under the frames ... We REALLY liked this piece and felt it was one of the most differect and strongest designs for the year ... Happy New Year !
