Tried your shift the blades idea ... working like a charm until my new blades arrive. Thanks for the tip.

I've used SikaFlex -1A to secure zinc sheet to Advantech and MDF substrates with great results. Bet it would work on plywood and lead.

This is pretty late to the party, but ...

Thanks for the suggestions - I especially like the "shift one blade to the right, and another to the left" idea. I should have thought of that.

I did some research and here's what I found. Maybe...

Some time ago, I found a new set of Ridgid-brand replacement knives at a garage sale. Kept then for when I needed them. Finally put them in. They cut like a hot knife through butter. But,...

Excellent points.

Looking more carefully at more photos, the batten frequently extends past the edge of the board as breadboards ends do when the panel shrinks. Seems like sliding dovetails are...

Sincerest apologies. I meant no offense to hard working farmers of any generation.

My point was, given the ubiquity of these boards, they were likely not made by highly skilled woodworkers with...

That might be it. I can't see the picture, but I'll look more closely at the ones I can see.

Nope. Straps are only ever on one side.



I get the joke on the whys and hows of wood movement, that's a big reason why I find this a vexing problem. Yep, all these boards are edge glued...

Trying to make one of the old French country style serving boards. They're typically round or rectangular and thin - no more than 1/2" thick. They all have a strap of wood inset, maybe 1" wide,...

Wierd. I couldn't get it to work at all. After seeing your post, I deleted all the site cookies and it worked. Thanks.

It's not specifically designed for woodworking, but I really like TinkerCAD. It's free, web based and pretty fast for both 2D & 3D. A cool feature is you can design something using multiple shapes...

Thanks for the advice. I gave them the option and it's cost. We'll see what happens.

It's a space and clearance issue. Having a door that slides rather than swings is a much better fit. But, the cabinetry style they prefer doesn't easily allow for a slide open door.

Understood. There are a lot of people here that are more experienced and clever that I am though. Figured I'd ask.

Can you help me understand what you mean by making the cabinet deeper so the...

That's the Suatsune LIN-X. It looks really cool, but the $160 needs to be upgraded with a longer support rod for a 48" door. So, it would cost about $300, all in, for that one hinge. That ain't...

I'm building some kitchen cabinets and the customer really would like one cabinet with a laterally opening door - kind of like a barn door. Unfortunately, it can't be as simple as a slide open door....

Thank you, Andrew. I hear you about the lamination look. It's going into a kitchen counter piece where one face is very visible, one is partially visible and the other two won't be visible at all. ...

I use reclaimed American Chestnut all the time for rustic serving trays and similar items. IMO, it's a good looking wood with a great history. It's easy to work, planes very nicely, sands easily...

I need to build table legs for use indoors in Maryland. They need to be 2 1/2" square. I must use reclaimed white oak that is about 6" wide and 1" thick. If I plane, stack and glue together the...

I use Loctite Heavy Duty Epoxy. Called the company and talked to a product engineer. The company certifies it as "non toxic" but can't specifically advertise it as "food safe" as that requires a...
