Working With Metal Continued
I used my Dremel with a sanding drum to deburr the holes.

 |
Here is what the EMT fittings look like
with them installed.
|
 |
And a look from the inside. This is the top and I'll be adding one more
hole in the center which will be for the 1/2" EMT.
|
 |
After a few more minutes, I had my smaller hole finished. Now it's time
to work on the face of the box.
|
 |
This bar stock will be fastened to the front and I thought it would look
nice if the corners were mitered. Here I'm using my metal cutting saw to
cut some 45 degree angles.
|
 |
Here I'm doing some final fitting to make sure everything lines up
properly.
|
 |
I'm drilling some clearance holes for some 5/16" diameter lag bolts.
|
 |
This is the fun part because things transform very quickly from just
okay to much cooler looking very quickly.
|
 |
I did a little sketch of the pocket hole screw to make sure I would
clear it. Just making sure ya know. Also notice the metal on the side is
slightly above the wood surface. This is the look I was after along with
the flat bar butted up against it.
|
 |
I'm machining the door to size below. This part is right up my
alley....metal working on a milling machine.
