Last weekend…

Just a pictorial update of the work I did last weekend. (Got a chance to take a photo just now)

Oh yeah. It’s black!

The doors and drawer front are just balancing in their positions… That is pretty much all that needs to happen this weekend: hinges, drawer slides and base, handles, attach the deck to the top frame.

Last night I completed the control wiring for the sticks and buttons, spinner and trackball to go – will need to break out the soldering iron for those. I also had a bit of an issue with the I-PAC controller but after a super fast response from Andy at Ultimarc it looks like it is a case of pebkac and rtfm. Will fix that after the weekend and should be able to deliver to the office the following weekend. The TV might even be on the wall by then… perhaps Smile

  1. Looks sharp! Can you see grain on the doors? The finish looks slightly different to the rest of the cabinet (in this photo). Another coat? Or would that be too much effort? Anyway, looks great.

  2. Thanks. Yeah the doors have had only one coat of black here, where the rest has had undercoat, light sanding and then black. I am all out of undercoat though, so I sanded back the black on the doors today and gave it another good coat of black. Looks pretty smooth now.

    I fitted the doors and the drawer properly today, photos soon. The whole outside is going to get one more coat one night this week.
