Adding gussets Installing the rear arch support [Image: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4438/3724...9f32_z.jpg]105_0946 by Steve Davis, on Flickr First I measure each side of the arch support to make sure the support is centered. [Image: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4466/3722...1214_z.jpg]105_0947 by Steve Davis, on Flickr After the support is centered, I make a small tick mark so I will be able to install the support back in the same spot. [Image: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4497/3741...6ceb_z.jpg]105_0948 by Steve Davis, on Flickr [Image: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4433/3727...fa0b_z.jpg]105_0950 by Steve Davis, on Flickr I glued the edge of the support and clamped in place. You can see that I have used a piece of scrap around the outside so the clamps don't damage the wrap-around. M R Radios C M Tubes

Chuck, My wife has been after me to replace the trim in our house for over a year. If I can get caught up on these cabinets, I will.

Gussets have been added to the rear arch support. [Image: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4433/3701...cd8d_z.jpg]105_0952 by Steve Davis, on Flickr The stiffeners are cut slightly long then squeezed into placed with clamps. This pushes the arch up and takes the bow out of the sides. M R Radios C M Tubes

The front panel
[Image: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4384/3722...429a_z.jpg]105_0966 by Steve Davis, on Flickr The front panel has been veneered. I have sealed and grain filled the front panel blank before cutting it out. It is much easier to fill and sand a solid sheet. This picture was taken before wiping the filler off. [Image: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4388/3741...8eaa_z.jpg]105_0969 by Steve Davis, on Flickr I have attached the panel to the pattern and drilled the starter holes.

[Image: https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4354/3727...6b41_z.jpg]105_1010 by Steve Davis, on Flickr The dark toner has been sanded off the face of the front panel and two more coats of clear have been sprayed.
