This is part 3 in a 3 part series: Indian Pallet timber Credenza

 The face frame
The face frame for the credenza continues, a bit of a setback dimension wise as I realised after assembling every thing the Left and right sides of the frame were the incorrect size.
So I had to re do the frame to reflect the correct 90 mm ones.

As a result this threw out my dimensions 50 mm.
I now had the decision to make as to how I could manage it.
1. Reduce the 3 uprights  or,
2. Reduce the door and drawer width
Reducing the upright dividers meant ruining the semi diamond pattern, so that was discarded.
So I reduced the door and drawer width from 400 mm to 380 mm and extend the frame out  a further 10mm of which it could just accommodate, so it happened.

I recut the story sticks to 380 mm and commenced finalising the frame.
I used pocket holes and glue to secure everything

However at the final piece there was a miss match between the top and bottom rails
The top was over length, so it was no big deal.

However there was a shortfall on the bottom.
So after running a framing square over everything I found no errors  so I had to add a section on the bottom frame.


I set it aside to dry and commenced the door frames.
The three door frames
I used my tenoning jig to cut the M&T/lap joints

all went well there

and completed the task

I didnt rip the door frames down from 400mm as I could do it at final assembly.

The inserts will remain the same dimension

Nail Holes
I then plug cut inserts for all the nail holes

Worked my way around the frame.

The Drawers and doors are next

Move to Victoria RC... you could borrow my Origin.  Once "gridded" (registering the job) your only issue would be to not forget to turn it on when pressing the plunge button.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

lookin good rob.

You're making progress! Nice job on the write up.
We all have those measurement errors, you recovered so it's like it never happened (we'll keep quiet!)
