The Wall-Hung Curio Cabinet
Next, measure the exact width of your assembled case and subtract the exact widths of your stiles (D) to calculate the correct length for the rails (E & F). Cut and sand the rails to length.
Now, use your Bandsaw or Scroll Saw to cut the curves in the bottom face frame rail (F). Again, be sure to cut outside your marked line so you can sand your contours using your Drum Sander.
Mark the locations for the dowel holes in the ends of the rails and the edges of the stiles and drill them using your MARK V in Horizontal Boring mode. Glue and assemble the face frame. Once the glue has dried completely, attach the frame to the assembled case with glue and #8 x 1-1/2" screws or 6d finishing nails. Set & fill the nail heads or counterbore and plug the screw heads as in step 7, above.
9. The door frames for this cabinet can be made with any of the following:
- Your Shopsmith Shaping Package with the Complete Cabinet Set cutters.
- Your Shopsmith Molding Package with the matching, mirror-image 3/16" Cove & Bead Cutter and 3/16" Bead & Cove Cutter.
The actual length of the rails will depend on the cutter you use. Whichever cutter you decide to use, be sure to form the ends of the rails first, then mold or shape the edges of the stiles and rails. IMPORTANT: Be sure to use scrap pieces for testing your set-ups before cutting your actual pieces
Assemble the frames with glue and check carefully for absolute squareness before setting them aside to dry.
10. Sand the entire project. Start with 80-grit paper and work your way through progressively finer grits until you get to 220-grit paper. Round off all edges slightly to prevent any splintering.
11. Cut the 3/8" plywood back to exact size and apply a stain or matching hardwood veneer to its inside face. Attach the back to the assembled frame using 4d nails or small brads. Do not glue.
