This
week we add the doors to the upper cabinets and then glue them to the
walls of our little kitchen corner.
The
first step is to put the doors onto the cabinets, simply because it
is a lot easier to do this step before we attach them to the walls.
It could be done after hanging them but it is my opinion that before
is better.
I
didn't spend a lot of time on how to make the doors because I did
them exactly like I did for the bottom doors and drawer fronts. You
can find that video here.
I
suggest cutting out some doors from some scrap paper and trying
different sizes until you are happy. I found I liked mine to be 1/8”
shorter than the cabinets are so for the long ones 2 7/8”. Use
whatever size you like best for your kitchen. Remember it is just
paper so play around until you are happy.
This
week I used the wallpaper border paste to attach the doors, it was
the glue that was drying the best in my cold craft room. I think the
outside temperature that day was right around 40° F and the humidity
was at 97% so drying times were a lot longer than normal. My craft
areas are on the far end of the house furthest from the heat source
so those rooms tend to be a lot colder than the main part of the
house.
Once
you are happy with the doors it is time to glue the cabinets in place
on the walls. I found that my normal tacky glue worked just fine for
this step.
That
is all we are doing this week. I hope we can finish the cabinets in
one or two more weeks. Then we will move onto the stove. After all
what good is a kitchen without a stove?
