On one of his many discovery trips, Norm finds himself an antique tall cupboard cabinet. Upon inspection it seems the craftsman of the day built the cupboard to fit the door on it. An interesting approach to cabinet making and it shows that nothing was wasted back in the day. Norm builds his own bath cupboard using plywood shelves, shop made molding and he even hangs a mirror on the inside of the door.
