Assembling The Stone Cladding
There are 3 types of cladding detail, cladding A has pegs on the back of one side, cladding B has holes on both sides, cladding D has pegs on both sides whilst cladding C is the longest of all parts and will fit on the front of the cellar. First, glue part A to part B as before, then fit D onto the holes of detail B.
Note: Make sure that when fitting the parts, the cladding stones line up with each other.
The magazine tells you to fit the assembly to the cellar base.
Note: As previously said in the last issue, I have NOT glued my cladding parts to the base, this is because I will be painting my cladding and to do so I will need this assembly separate for ease of painting without the need to mask parts off.
Assembling the Kitchen Shelf
Separate the front and back from the panel and sand smooth with sandpaper. Now glue the back to the drawer base and sides as shown. Next, glue the front of the drawers to the assemble.
Sandpaper all the parts smooth before painting the assembly along with the previous assemble we made in issue 24. Once it has dried, glue in place the 4 handles.
That completes this issue.

Painting the Stone Wall
I decided to paint my wall cladding in a Northamptonshire stone effect. You don’t have to follow this method; you can just use the simple method shown in the book.
First, I primed the wall with grey primer paint. Using a brush, I then painted it with cream paint as shown. After this I then coloured certain stones with a yellow, red, and dark grey paint. You don’t have to be particular with getting the stones perfectly painted, the rougher it is the better the outcome. I then gave the whole cladding assembly a black and then a brown tracking wash and liberally brushed it all over. At this stage it looks awful, but allow this to dry a little, but not fully.
Using a mud/brown pigment power, I brushed the whole piece all over with it and then left it for 24 hours. Once it was dry, I then dry brushed it again with cream paint, brushing it in one direction from top to bottom to give it highlights. As you can see, the different colours you painted show up slightly give the stone a more natural look.
Once this had time to fully dry, I glued the stone cladding assembly to the bottom of the base with super glue.
Assembling of the Top Part of the Basement and Cellar Handle Watering Can
Take the panel B and attach the additional strip using wood glue.
Note: take care to glue the strip to the right side. It is glued on the opposite side to the lettering of the part.
Next, glue panel A to the other side of the strip. Take care to ensure the parts are glued in alignment with each other before it dries.
Once the assembly has dried, take the basement assembly, and apply wood glue to the top tabs and attach the assembly you’ve just made and fit the tabs into the holes. Make sure the central post fits into the square hole.
Note: This can be quite tricky, just make sure that all the tabs line up with the holes, if necessary, use a pair of tweezers to move the tabs in place.
Now take the watering can and push the back through the hole in the larger cladding part and secure it with the nut provided. Next, glue the tabs on the inside of the cladding part and push it onto the cellar assembly using firm pressure to ensure a tight fit. Finally, push on the grey plug from issue 25 on the inside of the cellar assembly.
That completes this issue.
