| This piece I started with the knobs |
 |
| These are the pegs that hold the drawers close. |
 |
| The sides with rabbit and dado joints machined |
 |
| Carcass is starting to come together for the prototype. |
 |
| The pieces for the bottom of the Armoire |
 |
| Case pieces fitted. |
 |
| And glued up |
 |
| The door pieces cut machined and fitted. |
 |
| tongue and groove 1/16th material |
 |
| Door fitted to the opening. |
 |
| A peek at the rack in the top of the Armoire. |
 |
| Top being glued on. |
 |
| My fancy glue clamps these work like a charm. |
 |
| Carcass with all the trim except the knob for the door. |
 |
| A look at the locking system for the drawers. |
 |
| Drilling the coat rack for the pegs. |
 |
| All the little parts lined up assembly line fashion. |
 |
| Painting and antiquing |
 |
| Distressing the piece before applying the antiquing. |
 |
| Antiquing applied. |
 |
| Finished piece . |
 |
| Another
successful mini fun day . |
Thank you for your time.

A beautiful piece and I love how the drawers locks.
ReplyDeleteThank you Elga I try to find pieces that the advanced and the not so advanced can work on together.
DeleteThe Red Pie safe (class) in my pictures has 108 individual parts and was done at the National Kidney Foundations miniature show in New Orleans.
Thank you for sharing and thank you for your blog : I am sure I will learn a lot !

Another great post Mario, and by the looks a great day too!
ReplyDeleteThank you and yes it was fun.
DeleteDio mio, quanto lavoro! Che dolore se un magnifico armadio come questo finisce sotto i piedi!!! Che invidia. Mi piacerebbe essere in un club delle miniature come questo e averti come maestro. Dalle mie parti a stento esistono le miniature, figurarsi una scuola!!! A proposito, da quale parte dell'Italia venivano i tuoi nonni?
ReplyDeleteI really don't know what part off hand . But i can find out from my dad.
DeleteI love your blog and I'm sure I'll learn a lot, please keep posting, you have a lot to teach us less accomplished miniaturists, who live all around the globe!
ReplyDeleteThank you I'm planing to be around for awhile and have a lot to share...
