Installing a Wine Storage Cabinet -part 2

All Posts, Cabinet Making 101, Cabinets, Pantry, Tennessee House

Installing a built-in wine storage cabinet I finished the wine storage cabinet yesterday! The Wine Storage Cabinet is made up of two separate cabinets. In part 1 , I built the lower section.  The next task was to build the small cabinet that sits on top of the first one.  Then add the faceframe.Wine storage cabinet - part 2.

I painted both cabinets before I took them upstairs into the pantry.Wine storage cabinet - part 2.

Then finally got the sucker installed.

I had to stand on the countertop a lot during the process and every time I was up that high, I could smell the sticky, stinky stale air coming out of the holes in the ceiling.  There is another level above this one so it’s not attic space but it’s space between floors and it seemed hot and stinky.

Ceiling holes

So I paused work on the cabinetry and took time to FINALLY patch the two holes in the ceiling from moving the light and some other electrical work that had to be moved.

And talk about a MESS!

I even managed to drop a blob of joint compound onto the pile of faceframe material I had stacked in the corner.

I must have been swearing an awful lot because Madison volunteered to help me clean it all up.  😀

This was going to be such an easy process to build this small cabinet and install the faceframe.  LOL  After like 3 days I’m finally ready for a faceframe.

I’m installing each individual piece, one at a time using glue and nails.  I use a combination square in order to make sure I leave the same overhang on each side – inside the cabinet.

A little sanding and wood patch.  This step is important!

Then prime and paint.  Yeah!

Just for fun, I had to test out my storage devices.

Then put my wine glasses back in the kitchen because I have a ton more to do in here before we really get to use it.


I’m pretty excited about how this cabinet turned out.  It had a lot of details and felt like it took forever to build.  The rest of the pantry cabinets should be much easier and go faster.  I can’t wait to finish!

    This looks great. I appreciate the amount of work that went into it. More than that, I totally get the sidetracking stuff that pulls you down the rabbit hole, patch the ceiling, move the electrical, clean the mess… It happens to me all the time; maybe that’s why I never actually finish something to 100%

      It always happens, and then it feels like nothing is getting done but really we’re getting tons done…just not the visually appealing stuff. LOL

    Do you prime and paint the beadboard backing or do you use it “as is”?

      The beadboard comes primed. If I’ve painted the inside of the cabinet first, I also paint the beadboard before I install it. It’s much easier to do that while it’s laying flat on a table.

    I see you have upgraded a lot of your tools to festool product. is the upgrades (quality of cut and precision) worth the tremendous jump in price from other brands?
