      One of the things that we have been working on is taking some cabinets in the studio that are not use that much and put homasote board on top on them. The idea is to give them a little more use as tackable space. One of the issues that we where running into was very close tolerances on the doors and the fact that homasote is not strong at all. Mostly we did not want to remake a ton of doors but also not just have homasote glued to the door.
           














      I cut some homasote to do some mock ups of the doors to see what we where dealing with. The cabinet door is a weird thickness of 13/16th and the homasote is .5 inch so getting the thickness right will be key.  We actually like the look of the door but worry that the hinge would snap the weak homasote. Now we are going to look at reinforcing the door along the sides and maybe in the middle to solve the weakness issue.
