Cubby Box Photos

I promised I would post some more photos of my homemade cubby box (we all like pictures ) once I had put some aluminium trim on and carpeted the bottom.

So here you go:

Some pics of the back of the box where I also added some trim. Hopefully you can tell what you are looking at, it's an awkward place to photograph.

Looks great, job that's on my list for later this year

very nice

Fitting the aluminium trim was not as time consuming as I imagined. For the 90 degree bends at the front I just cut a triangle out of the aluminium angle and bent it which gave a nice result. The trim at the back was easy as it is just a matter of cutting to length and then filing the ends.

The hardest and most time consuming part was getting the two cuts correct on the non-90 degree angle where the sloping front of the box meets the horizontal part. I am quite fussy so I spent a while making sure they butted up correctly.

If you are reasonably skilled you could probably do this in half a day, though I took a little longer. It is worth the result though and I am very pleased with it.

Nice work, I am planning on starting mine today

I know it's an old thread, but it's the best cubby box I've found

Excellent!
