Another MB pantry addition
     I’ve finally finished a long awaited MB pantry addition.  I used Larry Wade’s plans.  It was my first attempt at a wood working project.  I was able to borrow a Kreg pocket jig from my brother.  I’ve been wanting to experiment with one of those.  It’s really slick.  Not too much of a learning curve.  I ordered doors from:  Fastcabinetdoors.com.  Two, 22x29 maple doors were $248, including shipping.  The Fiesta style was an exact match to my 2017 MB cabinet doors.  My local hardware store offered stain matching.  They came amazingly close to the existing color. I have 6 coats of General Finishes ARM-R-SEAL Urethane wipe on top coat on it.  Easy to use, and looks really nice.   I used 1/4” aluminum rods for the rails.  My biggest challenges were installing the hinges and hanging the doors.  I managed to get it done to my satisfaction, but have a few extra holes here and there.  I used 2 sets of roller catches on each door.  I was able to rout finger pulls without a router table.  YouTube was invaluable.  As was help from my friend, Stephen.  It’s  a project that’s been on my mind for years.  Thanks, Larry, for the design and plans.

Very professional looking! I especially like the routed finger pulls. Wish I'd thought of that!

Wow! Beautiful job. I'm still at the "Measure once; cut twice; get another piece of wood" stage.

Wow! If you are an amateur I am a rank novice! You need to expand those talents of yours.  ;)
