Making Cabinet 1

Well, if you've been very good and you've followed the directions to start with filing cabinets and then on to doors and then windows, you should be really good at making furniture now!  I probably don't have to explain very much at all, and maybe I don't have anything new to show you?  Now I just bet I can come up with a new twist or two!

Ok, time to make some cabinets and some wall units!  You may want to refer back to the Main Page for the little demonstration I gave for adding dings to your furniture.  To refresh everyone's memory, hollow dings look great with the Inner Bevel/Groove Preset.  For the more solid dings, it is best to use the Inner Bevel/Soft Edge Preset.  You can also try Effects/Edge/Enhance.

The first cabinet is using the capital B from the Boxes.ttf.  Hold down the Shift key on the keyboard.  Make sure your text is set to Vector/Antialias.  I'm using wood01.jpg as the Stroke and wood03.jpg as the Fill.

Once you have stretched your cabinet out to the size you want it, deselect and convert to a raster layer.  Click on the background with the Magic Wand.  Hold down the Shift key on the keyboard and click in all the open places inside the cabinet.  Invert the Selection.

Effects/3D/Inner Bevel/Angled Preset.

With the Magic Wand, click on each open area inside the outer frame.
Selections/Modify/Expand.  Expand by 2 pixels.
Flood fill with wood03.jpg.

Effects/3D/Inner Bevel/Bead Preset.

The basic tall cabinet is done.

Now it's time to get some handles and hinges on this cabinet.
