Well I made some doors for this cabinet. I went to put them on the cabinet and they're off. Hmmm. I checked and rechecked square. So I took out my best tape and measured for square. dead on to a 32nd ! I mean dead on. So I measure the cabinet. As expected. Off by 1/16th. Wider at the top than the bottom. But at least it wasn't racked.

So I planed the edges to fit. Le sigh.

One of the nice things about wood is that you can often "fix" a mistake by changing a dimension or two. I have my fair share of nightstands that started out as entertainment centers. ;)

It sounds like your entertainment lasted a while.

:) At least you were able to fix it and didn't have to re-build parts of it! Great fix and no one will ever know.

Keith, this is just the "final fine fitting" operation which brings your project to perfection... ;)

I know we always have a little adjustment to fit. But man it was hard planing those doors. Prolly the best I've done to date. But to make them out of square, that hurt.

This was in Monday's paper, and it was just TOO appropriate for this thread. Sorry for beating a dead horse...

I am so frightfully amused.
