    Yes, that's the idea. I thought it created a nice contrast that broke up the solid green and visually set the doors off from the cabinet frames. I'm thinking you'd build the doors slightly...

    Not a fan of all black. I'll offer another option, based on what I saw in a friend's kitchen a couple of weeks ago. She had (moss?) green cabinets and the doors were edge-banded (maybe 1/8" or 3/16")...

    Thanks for posting this. I hadn't heard about the event, and I've been shopping around for a new low-angle block plane. Scored one today at 25% off.

    Our kitchen wall cabinets are 35" high. The largest single-door unit is 21" wide. So, not too far from your dimensions. Rails and stiles are all 2-1/4" - proportions look about right to me.

    These guys have a lot of magnetic snaps for leather-to-leather. I'd guess if you ground the prongs off the back of one piece you could countersink and epoxy it into the wood.

    How about these? To me, they look like the drop-leaf hinges, but the description claims they hold open flat.

    THIS! I don't own or use a chainsaw, but have good friend who damned near bled to death in his back yard when he decided the chaps were too much trouble for an easy post-storm clean-up.

    Bill,

    You might try a craft store like Michael's or Hobby Lobby for cork in relatively small quantities.

    I took a look at the FWW article, and I honestly don't understand why they used screws there at all. Seems to me the glue joint should be strong enough by itself. With the aprons on the trestle legs...

    Record-breaking service

    I know this is an aberration, but I thought I'd report it anyway, just to show that service doesn't always suck.

    I was attempting to re-heat some leftovers earlier today when I discovered our oven...

    I'm with Paul. I have a pair of bookcases (commercially made) that are 32" x 84" with 11" shelves in front of a 1/4" or 3/8" back. With some trim on the bottom, they're about 12 1/2" deep at the...

    We built new about 6 years ago. Our builder's options for countertops, in order of price, were:

    Laminate - cheapest
    Solid surface (e.g., Corian)
    Engineered quartz (e.g. Silestone)
    Granite

    A clear epoxy would be resilient, and would let you see the wood. But it's going to look like a plastic-coated tabletop (because it is).

    Multiple coats of poly, as Tom McCurnin suggests, would...

    I use a set of muffs from Fnova. Don't know the model #, but they're nothing particularly expensive (< $30). They do a great job at noise reduction, and are pretty comfortable - but if I have them on...

    Actually, it sounds like they agreed to sell him tools at a lower price than what he originally agreed to pay.

    There are Ole and Lena (or Sven and Ole) jokes in Virginia? I thought that was a Wisconsin/Minnesota thing.

    Congratulations on the upcoming additions to the family!
