Custom Panelled Refrigerator

Step 3 Finishing frames, field

the hard part is done. glue the frames to the front of the door as shown. to fill in the field of the frame and cover the leatherette surface I opted to use hardboard - it's cheap, smooth, stable, holds wood glue, and most importantly can be gotten in a very thin sheet so it won't make the moldings inside the frames stick out proud of the frame surface. use a jigsaw to cut the hardboard to rough size - it doesn't have to be perfect since the edges will be covered. glue the hardboard on with urethane adhesive and smooth it out with a wood block.
