I like this idea Wayne, I wish I had done it before I installed the cabinets but it would enable me to use the hinges I already purchased. Thanks to all and merry Christmas.

I just built some cabinets for my bathroom and decided to wait until they were completed to order hinges (whoops). I ordered Blum 71b955, for thick doors mine are 15/16. The problem is my framless...

Just a thought but I think if you left you pieces long say 6 or 8 inches you could slide a top and bottom lamination back and forth using clamps to temporarily hold their positions, find the balance...

I built my first several furniture projects with less tools than you mention, all of mine being job site carpentry tools. I feel like doing projects is the best way to learn woodworking, and find out...

I made the paulk workbench and two sawhorses, I used an old ratchet strap for the webbing. I cut it with scissors and burnt the ends with a lighter. I attached the strap with 1/4 inch crown staples....

Do I have to wait for the lumber to dry out before staining? How long if so?

Project is a pergola so no horizontal or walking surfaces.

Thanks Joe.

I have a makita that I've been happy with. I don't use it often.

The first thing that comes to mind for me is your drawer possibly being the wrong size. I had a set I built a hair small and the slide action was poor and also made a bit of noise. I used washers to...

The system I have set up now was not so much designed as it was cobbled together with parts I had. My old collector used a cloth filter bag from rockler, the "dust right" bag designed to be used with...

I have a wood master 3 horse blower that I bought used a while back that I tried to rig up with parts I had from my old d.c. The results have been very poor, so poor that I often don't use it with...

Hello all, I just ordered the 1045 kreg router table. I have to wait a few days for delivery and thought I'd like to build a rail coping sled while I wait. Anybody have a good one they'd like to...

Ken, I currently use the kreg jig and it works fine however I've found that you can't use the base of the jig as reference and need to use a pin in the first hole registered on the bottom edge of...

I banded my kitchen cabinets with 1/4 x 3/4 stripes of walnut that I stained and sprayed before I installed it. I put it on with glue and 23 gal pins. I thought I would fill the holes with colored...

I put a three bin garbage carousel in the corner of my kitchen. One for garbage one for recyclables and one for dog food. Works great for us. I don't think you'd have any problems with frameless...

Can you place spacer shims behind the outeed side of the fence you are using?

I have a cmt 806.690 bit that works great for me. It has both top and bottom bearings which I like because I can flip the work piece when the grain changes directions to avoid tearout. I see that...

I have all drawers in the kitchen I built and really like it.

I spray my cabinets before installing the back so I always put the face frame on first. I screw corner braces to the back edge of the cabs to hold them square that are removed before installing the...

I have to cut a tounge and groove joint on some long and wide boards for a new project, I don't have sufficient support or hold down capabilities on my router table. I want to get a t&g set with...

I used a router sled to flatten mine, worked great took about an hour.

I would go really dark with the oak and leave the cherry natural.

Just use a zero mounting plate and a 5/8 overlay hinge.

Very cool. I've gotta ask, how do you do the lakes. Again awesome job.

When I first started I built tons of cabinets and small furniture without a jointer or planer. All I had was a portable table saw and a miter saw. Even now that I have both I usually have my lumber...

Yes, flush to wall no gaps. I was also thinking t&g but was hoping to avoid the extra work involved. I'm a bit lazy sometimes:)
