Count me in!

Sam,

I tried your link, but it doesn't work for me ?

My SCMS was the first larger power tool I bought. Built a deck, hardwood stairs, and trimmed a house with it. I use it for all of my crosscut and miter work. At least I did for 11 years until the...

Jointer is more useful too !

I have used ball before, but the last doors I made, I used panalign strips I bought at Sommerfeld. I like the strips much better than balls - easy to handle or trim to any size you like. I also just...

Menards is where I'm planning on buying it.

Doug thanks. - when you say trim to fit. What is the best way to trim it ? (given the attached backsplash makes it awkward).

I have an earlex 5000 that I have used to spray Target Coatings WB products and it has worked very well with the 1.5 needle. I've never sprayed alcohol or oil based because I don't have the right...

I want to install a post-formed laminate countertop on the bath vanity I recently installed. The top is captive on 3 sides - drywall on 1 side, drywall back wall, cabinet on the other side. I'm...

Try absorbine jr. It is a Midwest staple in fly/gnat season.

Lots of great suggestions - thanks ! Interesting that no one has mentioned dowels. I usually finish all sides of my projects. My time is cheap. I always figured it provided more consistent...

Hmm, good point ! Thanks !

Good advice on the keyhole mounting - thanks. I have a biscuit joiner, but no domino. I'll look into the half-lap joint. That sounds pretty strong. Charlie

I'm looking to frame some beveled glass mirrors. They are 1/4" thick and the largest is 30"x40", so there is some weight to them. I am planning on using 4/4 red oak and was thinking mitered corners....

I have a 16 inch PC omnijig. Takes some fiddling to get it setup (at least for a newbee like me), but once it's set, it is pretty consistent. Thanks for the kind words. Like a lot of folks, it's the...

Jerome,

I need to cut in a air return vent into that far wall underneath the cabinet. It's also where the trash can will live.

Finally got the new bath cabinets installed. A lot of firsts for me - dovetails and raised panel doors, spray finishing.

Birch inside, soft maple drawers, finished with General Finishes gel stain...

That's what I'll be doing. I like the idea of the bumpers. Thanks.

I don't think I'm misreading the installation intructions - at least the ones I'm looking at. The detail pretty clearly says 5/32 setback for the runner, and 1/32 drawer gap shown as between the...

I'm using blum undermount 562H drawer slides for the first time. This on a face-frame cabinet that will have a front attached to the drawer box.

The Blum installation instructions indicate that...

Hi Ken,

Read your description of the drive up along the snow packed river with mountains on both sides, and I thought to myself - boy, sounds like they drove up the Lochsa river! That's a great...

Is there a Hartville link ?

I have had the G0490X for about 2 years - very happy with it.

Tony, Thanks - good to know if my gun ever starts "peeling" ! Charlie

Thanks guys! I'll test out the other rear mounts and see which is easier.

Charlie

I bought some blum tandem drawer slides with blumotion (562H4570B). I also bought the following rear mount brackets. It is a face frame application.
