Wine cabinet plan/progress

So here is an idea of how the wine cabinet will look.

Face frame


Side and center divider frames.


Door (for Left side)


Top


Alternatively, I may end up filling in the top of the cabinet with wine corks and topping with a sheet of glass instead of tiling. Since it is for wine that would be a neat touch and very much in line with the wine cork trivets that my uncle makes.

All of the A, B, C, and D parts have been assembled into frames using pocket hole joinery. Never done that before but it makes very strong connections.

Here are all the frame parts. The four stacks on the left are rails (horizontals) and have been pre-drilled for pocket screws...see the example? The three stacks on the right are the stiles (verticals).


Here I getting ready to assemble the first frame joint.


That was done to every joint and here is the completed face frame.


And the 3 center and side frames (they are stacked up).


Finally, to show an idea of size I leaned the parts together. The center frame is sitting on top to add a little stability so I could shoot the photo. This cabinet is about one hand shy of 4 feet tall. Looks bigger in real life than in the drawings!! I have put in about 11 woodworking hours to get to this point.
