I have a unique cabinetry situation by which I want to create a bypass door that has no visible bottom guide, to maintain usable counter. I would have one fixed pane, and two moving panes, as shown...

Has anyone seen or have any creative ideas about cabinet hardware that would work for a pocketing 3-pane cabinet bypass door (one fixed pane) without a guide/track that mounts on the lower surface?

Pretty easily. My fingers just typed it, not painful at all :) Seriously, though - I was under the impression that the more cutting edges the smoother, and figured one cutting edge would go the...

That looks like a nice jig. It looks like it just fits the smaller routers, is that right? Ideally I'd get something that accommodates both the full size Bosch and the smaller makita routers.

That's what I'm trying to figure out... what combinations generally work. I'm looking to buy a single router bit or that purpose, as I don't have many.



Thanks for the tip

For routing circles with a jig, what's an ideal cutter diameter/length in an spiral upcut bit?

For a cutter size, what's the max depth of a pass should you make in softwood, hardwood, MDF?

All, just to make sure I'm being realistic about the expected results... how much wider should I expect the kerf to be at the back of a cut than the front of a cut with a good circular saw with a...

Thanks for weighing in, Lou. I will probably not have anything else in my project that requires this level of accuracy, so it is making the prospective of buying a new saw for one day's work hard,...

When you say check for square, do you mean the kerf widening?

It is possible. I've tried to measure between outside of the fence and the blade at front and back, though of course the blade can flex, so it is a bit challenging to measure. Best I could get was...

Thanks. Would you consider a 0.086" Kerf / 0.056" base steel blade thin?

If you all do think it is the saw, what is the classic corded 'known-to-be-accurate' saw I should look to?

The thing is that I went from the ultra thin blade spec'd for the saw at 0.059" Kerf / 0.038" base steel to the thickest one I could find at 0.086" Kerf / 0.056" base steel (Irwin Classic). A larger...

It's not very old.... maybe 3-4 years - not all that much use. I don't detect any issues with the bearings, but certainly a possibility.

I have an issue with my circular saw, and don't know what to do about it. Hopefully someone here will know.

Been building some stairs and the upper flight required some shimming on treads, as my...

Thanks - I was less concerned about the inspector than the exposed edge of the treads that were to project beyond the drywall in the stairwell over the lower flight.

I ended up finding micro thin birch plywood in the hobby section of the local hardware store... didn't know such a thing existed... 1/32" and 1/64" thick. Thanks for the ideas... it is amazing how...

Yes, all worked out in cad in advance. Many layers to my assembly.

I once found some duct work in the ceiling supported by a beer can.

In this case, I don't think anything moved, but the cut lumber doesn't match my layout isn't square. In my case, the right edge of the tread was to be exposed and project beyond the drywall, so there...

Ron, any idea on shims that are that thin? I can shim the front but anything between is a crazy thin shim and difficult to dial.

I guess the cleat would be an option. I'm trying to envision if that is a better option than the shim and adhesive.

I cut some stair stringers out of LVL, and every step is greater than 90 degrees... can't find my angle device, but let's say 91 degrees, such that the tread dips up to 1/16" and the riser rolls back...

I'm sure there are some folks here who know finish carpentry and have done a lot of stairs.

I have an issue with some interior residential stringers I cut (won't get into that more complex issue...

John that's pretty much the setup in the next level carpentry 'super shims' video (his spacer is a drywall screw in to the sled, which is adjustable), but I have issues with the attachment of the...
