CABINET MAKER X #39 Mahogany Stairs Panelling. Part 6 Judgement Day
Hi DTube woodwork Fans,
In part six it is judgement day and I am on site for the first day of fitting.
This is a nerve racking experience no matter what the job because you only really know if your measurements and calculations are correct at this stage.
To begin with I must remove the original panelling. I do this by firstly prying off the skirting and then drilling some holes.
The holes allow me to put the jigsaw blade in to the panels and then I can cut some large sections out.
I had no idea what to expect with this part but it all came out easily.
Next up I checked all my angles and started to fit the new panelling.
To my relief it was perfect to the millimetre.
I fitted all the divisions and fixed everything in place level and square.
A very good first day and the uncertainty was removed. A solid foundation for the rest of the job.
In the next part I will be continuing to install the panelling.
I highly recommend that you make DTube videos to show us any woodworking projects you are working on.
If you have any technical questions give me a shout on the woodworking discord channel.

I know my wood and I have spent years teaching myself furniture making , furniture history as well as living it as a self employed cabinet maker .
I am also in the process of writing a
