On to the Lab!

Chemistry has a lab that is in dire need of some changes. The lab shown has three long benches, each bench side has two double door cabinets. The Cabinet can take care of one student only. So what is needed to accommodate more students in the lab is to make a separator for each of these cabinets. Tree benches, two per side so four a bench total of 12 separators are needed.

Glass ware on the tables is due to the work I am doing to cabinets.


Here is a view of the cabinet open. It makes tons of sence to separate them into two.



On all cabinets most of the accessory hardware is to be removed. They will be replaced with more secure components later.



Here is the a view of a top runner in the cabinet. I inset the screws so the center board will not hang up.



The top and bottom rails installed. Parallel, centered and secure. The cabinet was small once I was in it to install these.



This is the most common part of my job. Design. I took this picture because it is a vital part of the process and I do hundreds of these types of drawings but don’t think about it anymore. I measured the cabinet for the dimensions that I will need to make the separator. I either use exact measurements at the time I drew this or I will compensate the measurements (include my tolerances). In any case, I will note it.
