Fitting the Doors

It really feel like I'm on the final lap with the bureau now - fitting the doors.  This is an enjoyable process; nothing made by hand ever has quite perfect dimensions, so it's necessary to juggle with things, taking off a shaving or two here and there, adjusting the exact set of the hinges, until it all comes together in a harmonious whole.  Seen below are some stages along the way - adjusting the rebates in the cabinet with a shoulder plane, and fine tuning the door itself on the workbench.
