Today I sanded the two waist section sides and began work on the waist section front pieces. I decided to forego any test to make sure the pendulum will swing freely. Of course it will! So onward we go! Built the stiles and rails and have dry-fitted them and all seems well. Of course I still need a door. But I also need to figure out the door lock fit against the stile. I have a nice brass escutcheon to cover the key hole, and just ordered the door lock and key which should arrive early next week. I have some hinges but not sure I like them. Complicated stuff that needs to be worked-out before I can glue-up the waist section assemblies. Guess I'll take a look tomorrow at what Lowes has. Enjoy the slideshow below.
