Thanks for all the advice everyone! First, the side panels in the past have always been integrated with the face frame by use of various methods such as miters and for me this yields the best...

They are face frame construction with inset drawers and doors.

I like the idea of dado in the back of the face frame to avoid gaps in a butt joint and the reveal solves the problem of getting it...

Fellow woodworkers,
I am in the process of planning out the cabinets for the kitchen and have come to conundrum. For the cabinets that go floor to ceiling (such as wall oven), how do you attach the...

Justin,
I finished building a whole kitchen full of cabinets last year. I believe there is a thread in the projects section. Mine were natural finished cherry, so I can't help you much on the...

Thanks for all the kind comments. We finished the backsplash about a week ago and the entire project is done. We are having an open house next week to show it off, and I know its egotistical and...

Thanks for all the kind comments. Mel, the island itself is about 26" deep, so even with the 12" overhang, there is ~70% of the weight of the slab over the island, not even counting on the strength...

The wood was from Irion Lumber in PA and was shipped by freight carrier. This was the best decision I made on the whole project. I have ~200 bdft of “nice” cherry in the shed, but I wanted...

Hello Fellow Creekers,
I thought I would share my latest (nearly) finished project, our kitchen renovation. I want to post the whole process of building them so others can learn from my...

Julie, Thanks for the suggestion. I actually think I might set something like that up. But in the meantime, the weather has been spectacular the last few days here, around 65 degrees, relatively...

Howard,
Thanks for the reply. I guess I failed to mention that I most definitely will practice on cardboard. I was going to get Jewitt's book on spraying (since it has a kindle edition I believe)....

Hi, I had an extra day off on Friday thanks to the bombers (may he rot silently in a jail cell for 6+ decades). I used the time to listen to the news and get a lot of work done in the shop. ...

Hi,
I have finished all the woodworking for my kitchen cabinets and spent the weekend sanding all the cherry panels (from the frame and panel assemblies). I have purchased an Earlex 5500 HVLP...

Thanks for all the advice, it was very helpful. I ended up ordering the Veritas medium shoulder plane. I am going to keep my eyes on Ebay and such for a Record or Clifton 3-in-1, because the extra...

Just to wrap up this thread... Thanks for all the advice. I ended up not getting the Woodmaster. Its not really what I need for my shop right now as far as size or capabilities. I think I will...

Creekers,
There is an estate sale around here tomorrow and they have a Woodmaster 718 planer for sale for ~$800. I assume its the base model for that price without the spiral head or the pro pack. ...

I am very intrigued by the Clifton 3110 plane... But as we all know, when you make a multi-purpose tool, something is sacrificed. For people with the 3-in-1 (Clifton or Record), what are the...

Hello, I rarely venture into the Neanderthal's, being a proficient electron killer, but I would like your advice on a hand plane purchase. I am making doors for my kitchen and rabbeting the back of...

Thanks for all the insight, I definitely feel more confident about using some thinner panels for the ends. One more question I thought about as I was reading the responses... Should I use spaceballs...

Creekers,
I am laying out the panels for the doors, drawers and finished end panels for my kitchen cabinets and had a question. These are shaker style flat panels on the front, bevel raised on the...

Please add my name and THANKS.

Thanks and congratulations. Looks great. Can we expect to see more anniversary "black" machines throughout the year? I just got a bandsaw recently, but I might need a planer... ;)

Alright, now for dust collectors. From my reading, the key is CFM and the filtration. You want filtration of sub-micron particles, which means canisters, not bags. Everything else (cyclones,...

Thanks for all the suggestions. It happened that a Grizzly 18" open ended drum sander showed up on CL the other day and I was able to get it for a pretty good price. It amazes me that more people...

Ok, I have located a few used Delta 1hp on CL. If they won't cut it, perhaps I will buy the HF "2 HP" model. Either way, from reading Bill's website, I will be throwing away the bag and adding a...

I have two, one about 15" deep and one 24.5" deep. The bigger one is great for squaring up base cabinets parts and such, but its a little bulky. I just built all the face frames for our kitchen and...
