I have a few squares I build every piece of furniture with. They’re square. So that’s how I build my sleds and other jigs.

Agreed Jim. I didn't want to mention that to confuse the question, but I often use two coats on table tops, waiting 24 hours between applications. The important part is not to over do the second...

Not sure about Tampa, but a garage is a garage, doesn't matter what you do with it in Colorado. My garage and detached shop are climate controlled...they're still garages and count for exactly 0...

It's not two treatments, it's a pre-color application of mint before the actual two-part is applied. It only takes a few hours to dry, just test first! You can pull off some amazing looks. The...

I've used Red Oak with Rubio Monocoat mint pre-color followed by Rubio Cotton White to look like White Oak. It went quite well actually. The mint removes the tint within the red oak.

Other woods...

My suggestion is similar to Jim's if I'm following. That said, the first thing I would do is measure the carcass and drawer to see if anything is out of square, particularly front-to-back of the...

For the spline, it's basically just routing a channel in the vertical leg at the back and a similar channel through the end of the upper support (right down the middle of both). Say 2" deep and 1/4"...

Thanks Mike. OneFinity make some very capable machines in numerous price ranges and sizes. I've personally helped setup and use different configs and I'm overall impressed.

Really there isn't...

Yep, good point Mick. I've had V10, V11 and V11.5 the whole time. I will probably stay the course for a year or two before V10 is removed. The disk space is pretty minimal and that isn't a lot of...

The inlay tool path and the keepout areas are enough for me. I actually made a request for the latter to their support.

The tool database updates in 11.5 are also great.

Yea good point on the upgrade cost window Jim, I failed to mention that.

I was talking with friend over the weekend and they were unaware that V12 has been released. So, I figured I would post here in case someone wasn't aware of this news.

In general the upgrades...

Bridle joints are a good idea (per glenn) but honestly several 10MM dominos in each joint would be pretty strong. You could even do exposed through-dowels if you want to over-kill it (per stan). ...

Thanks Mark and Glenn. I'm hoping to come back in month or two and post the "in place" pictures. I'm now building two 8-foot floating shelves for the bar area!

Those pulls are awesome Mike, well done.

Looking forward to it! Maybe even some CAD files I can copy :D

I'm weird, I actually enjoy the sanding process and it is not uncommon for me to use 2 or 3 different sanders on a given project. I own these Festool sanders: REQ 125 (edge detail only), ETS EC...

That was a pretty clever fix. Did it only happen on one part so you didn't have to worry about repositioning or did you setup a fixture and have to fix several pieces?

I kind of agree, but here goes. My choice Festool ETS EC 150/5 and Festool paper.

I’ve borrowed a tool or two from my father in law and vise versa. Beyond that there isn’t anyone I would trust they wouldn’t hurt themselves. My kids know better, they ask for dad the “tool” to come...

Looks very well done, hopefully more business coming your way!

I ordered a kit from Knottec but haven't used it yet. I normally use epoxy but sometimes that can be a pain on deeper voids that seem to suck up the expoxy and I have to keep an eye on it. Looking...

This is exactly what Edward and I were both suggesting as well.

That’s great, thanks Mark!

The irony is the left hand injury says enough about the technique, so safe, unsafe, who cares? What is the purpose of making a cut like this? The edge isn't relative to anything, so it won't be...
