Thanks guys, that's pretty much what I thought...
Hi All,
I have a friend of mine who has 20 year old kitchen cabinets, stained, clear lacquered stile and rail with a rasied panel. For 20 year old cabinets, they're in fairly good shape, just...

Depends on how much they need to grind off to make it flat. When I worked for Ford, the guys in the tool room ground mine down and had to take almost a 1/32 off to get it flat - and then I still had...
Craigslist? maybe Ebay?
Hi Foras,
Since no one has chimed in on this one, we use it work for project management, (we're a computer software company, configure to order software) so we don't really track inventory, but...
Hi Mike,
It will work, but you will need to have some sort of make up air - open door, window, or even a scuttle unit, but being a "hut", I'm guessing that part's easy - unless it's during the...
Hi Tom,
I'm going to echo a bit of what Lex said about the wood movement. Either way would work fine - just make sure you're plate isn't "floating" in the recess - unless you want some real wavy...
Hi Kev,
Cary is right, a good carbide blade will work, but make sure it's rated for non-ferrous metals - which usually means the blade has a negative rake angle on the teeth - IIRC, it's usually...
Okay, I've been searching through the Finishing threads and don't quite see what I think I'm after. I'm closing in a house built in the early 50's with oak flooring throughout the house. Long story...
Okay, I know this is a wood working site but I was just wondering, have any of you guys used cardboard in any of your projects? Not for patterns, or sreading glue, but as an integral part the...
Thanks guys,
Zayd, I had a feeling this was going to be the case.
Jack, I did see that issue, that's actually what got me thinking about these again - it looks like I may wind up going this...
Hi Chris,
In your case, you'll just resize all the dimensions to suit the final size you have in mind. Since I haven't seen the plans, the only limitation you may have may be the clock...
Thanks John, these weren't that sophisticated. They were just sheet metal and you cut kerfs in your carcasses for the drawers to slide in and out of:
I was reading an old article in Tools and Shops about a small shop Matthew Teague had set up. He used premade sheet metal drawer he got from Lee Valley. They apparantly no longer carry this any...
Hi Eric,

For your top coats, I would stay away from polycrilic - I used to be a big user of that until I found the...
Also check out CNCZone.com. They have a classified section there also.
Anybody have a link for this India ink video?
Hi Jane,
I am becoming more and more of a fan of dyes the more I work with them. I'm like you in that I've been using the MinWax stuff for years because the big box stores carry them. Many...
Hi Chris,
I've gone through gallons of stripper and used all sorts of mechanical means to strip paint. My new favorite is CitriStrip. The secret to stripping with this stuff is to lay it on...
Hi Tony,
Most buffer/polishers are in the 7" to 9" range and some are variable speed and $200.00 should get you a decent machine:...
Any chance you could find an assembly picture/Parts list on the web, that might get you going in the right direction. If not, give them a call, I'm sure they'd help you out.

Hi Glen,
If you're wiping, I think you'll want more than that - I usually spray or brush, and I've found usually 5 is my minimum. Somebody else will have to jump here on the wiping, but I think...
