Phil - The oil-based stains I tried were the most blotchy on Maple, even with the pre-stain conditioner.
Howard - I've not tried using Birch, but I can certainly try that as well. I tried using...
I'm trying to replicate the species, color and topcoat of these examples...

Anyone here have any ideas what was used based on looking at these pictures?

Will - I don't think you'll notice an applied bead if the work is painted. If you wanted a compromise for something not painted, mill the mead, rip it off, then reapply it to the same piece you...

If you have a captured jack miter cut (i.e; drawer rail), then I use a dado blade on the table saw with a miter gauge and sacrifical fence to remove this material. Make the...
To save time, if you have a batch of repeated identical cuts, fashion a stop on your sacrificial fence so you don't have to mark all of your work.
After making the jack miter cut, you need to...
Justin had PM'd me asking how I did this, so I though posting it here would be the easiest way to explain. This method is the easiest I've tried for performing jack miter cuts. You need a small miter...
I have this same router table and it developed a 1/8" dip in the center a year later. After getting in touch with Dan Sherman at Jessem, he sent me out an aluminum brace kit for free. I had to turn...
I use http://www.bandsawbladesdirect.com/. Fast service and competitive prices.
I used suspended ceiling I-screws and wire to hang my pipe from the ceiling joists. For the vertical drops, I used metal worm-drive clamps. Very cheap and no vibration.
There's already been a few posts regarding this problem. I believe PM had to replace the motor in these cases...

The Grizzly and the Powermatic are basically the same head.
Impressive dovetail joinery! Are those hinges your own design? I like how they act as the lid/hinge stops as well. Very clever!
I'd get a Bosch Colt palm router and a plunge pilot flush cut bit (see http://www.amanatool.com/bits-fv/45506.html for an example). The Bosch Colt is an extremely versatile little router (1/4"...
I have the PM 209 with an aftermarket Byrd head. I would highly recommend saving up for this upgrade if you can. Tear out is virtually eliminated on figured woods and the sound emitted by the planer...
Have you considered Cypress, Hemlock or Cedar?
It's rustic and majestic. I love it! I bet it was a lot of fun to build.
Great job!
Wow. I wasn't trolling for compliments...but I appreciate them nonetheless. Thank you! I figured I'd get some critical feedback, but nothing yet...
These cabinets were for a close friend. They...
John - Wow! This was your first woodworking project you say? And no squeaking? That's impressive. Looks fantastic. Now you need to make a bedroom set to match.
Some examples of the face frame construction...

I'd like to thank Jim Becker for sharing his finishing schedule and wisdom with me for this project. The finish is one coat BLO, two coats dewaxed-shellac, and 3-4 coats of Target USL.

If there's a stud in between the inside and outside corner, I would use a trim head screw to pull the base molding tight against the wall, then fill the screw head hole with a quality wood filler,...
