Well... one is a supply vent - the smaller one under the sink toe kick.
The larger one built into this cabinet is, strangely, a cold air return. I do not know why it was done this way, but it was.

I think I'm going to go with option #3 - the easy route - but trim the vent at the bottom so that it's thickness matches that of the cove molding. That way it doesn't create a v-groove for dust to...
Some quick CAD sketches of what I feel my options are:
This is what I originally wanted to do, but am having second thoughts:

I like this option, but I'm unsure how easy this would be...
I have a cold air return that is built into the side of a cabinet. I also have a cold air vent under a toe kick with the same issue.
As with these sorts of things, I'm not sure what wold look...
Had some other things to take care of but finished/installed the flag! It was well received.
Epoxied three vertical boards, painted, and added some peel and stick to the top

Pallets are free - who wants to turn down FREE MONEY (slight sarcasm here)?
I'm into rustic-looking stuff, so starting with pre-distressed wood gives the final product a bit more "charm"
You can...
Painted it yesterday - need to make the star stencil. I have a few options for the stencil - leaning towards using a vinyl cutter to cut some adhesive vinyl (so one-time use). The other option is...
I would forgo the nice finish - might be nice to have some light trowel marks to make it not look like drywall - I have a particular distaste for drywall. As for swelling - dunno. The only way to...
Nice! Are you grooving your boards?
The key thing is - whatever I do on the inside cannot restrict the OSB from drying out. That is, I shouldn't cover it with something that would trap moisture.
It's already insulated (R40 / R20). I did what some refer to as "wrap and strap". My stackup is:
inside | Post | Girt (actual 2"x6") | OSB | impermeable vapor/water barrier | 4" rigid foam (two...
Thanks! I't s a bit, erm, excessive in some regards, but it's a very inspirational space, and I'd like to move my art supplies, tools and stuff to use it for projects.
Check out your local college/university - they often have a property department that sells used equipment. I bought a small fireproof cabinet for $25, and self-extinguishing trash cans for $5 each.
You mention "vault" - however I'm not doing the ceiling, just the walls. The ceiling is 2x6 T&G.
I, too, prefer working with wood - the only challenge for me is processing all the wood. I don't...
For sure! These things sell for the price of gold at antique/collectible stores. I could have had this finished by now if I skipped the edge glue - trying to make something a little nicer than a...
My clamping technique might need some help:

I decided to paint after glueup - I realized there would be squeeze-out, and with a few strips of blue tape even if the paint strays a bit...
I have enough wood on hand to cover it without purchasing any - but I would have to spend time and money (electricity) to process the wood. I am intrigued, though, and have enough scrap of everything...
That sounds interesting - but does it require wire lathe?
My general plan for the walls - build shelves that hook into the upright posts from behind - it was one fatal flaw in my wall system I hadn't really considered - I should have used a thicker plywood...
Here's the inside, not sure why the previous image didn't load. If I had to use screws, I was hoping I could "panelize" the boards somehow and screw into the top/bottom girts - it's about 18" between...
I built a workshop a few years ago, and have been slowly chipping away at different aspects of it. I'm at the point now where I need to tackle the interior walls. This may seem unnecessary, but I...
Yep, though I cut 14 in case I needed an extra :D
For the stars - I have two options. I can laser cut some metal, or cut out a stencil and paint. I'm leaning towards the stencil as it's less...
Regarding this - is it good to seal like so? I've read moisture will always find a way in, and sealing like so makes it hard to find its way out.
Are they though? To put things in context, they are cheaper than a trip to the ER. At least, that's how I frame safety equipment cost in my mind where it makes sense.
Another question - for the slat version - should I use dominos to keep the slats together? If this is going outside, that seems like a bad idea, right?
