Project Log: Sunday, August 18, 2013
The caning had dried overnight, so with a sharp knife I
trimmed away the excess from all the doors, after which
I test-fit each door in its opening, marking each door
with its location and which was the hinge side for
future reference. A few of the doors--they were
rabbeted overlay doors--required that I increase the
size of the rabbet along one or more of the edges in
order to fit properly in the openings. A saw
blade's width, and one pass through the table saw, took
care of this as needed.

 |
I installed brass overlay hinges on each door, on the
required side in each instance. The spline
securing the caning stood proud of the door frame, so I
had to chisel it away in way of each hinge to allow them
to fit flush. |
 |
I predrilled and installed each hinge with brass screws.
On the opposite side of the door, I drilled a hole for
the brass knobs I planned to use; I only had a few of
these on hand, so I couldn't install them all, but I
prepared the holes in any case. |
 |
Eventually, I worked my way through all the doors in
this way. I thought of beginning the doors'
installation on board, but I didn't have many of the
door catches I'd need to secure the doors, and hadn't
made any backing blocks for the catches, so I decided to
hold off on installation till I had the supplies on
hand. |
