Since you are using an MDF center panel you can actually glue it in instead of leaving it floating, since wood movement isn't an issue with the MDF. That creates a much more cohesive and stable...

Thirded. And I agree on the sound. I think it is a very quiet machine.
I glued up a bunch of railing components for the deck I built out of Ipe. I wiped all joints down thoroughly with acetone and used Titebond III as the glue. Everything is holding up fine after...
Welcome Leo. You may not realize it but you are replying to a thread that is 6 years old. You may want to start a new one to ask your specific questions.
Yeah, I had to stop watching it because I couldn't take his delivery. Seems like a nice fellow, but his show just doesn't click with me.
And that highlights the problem with just making an...
I was slightly concerned about the long-term strength of that joint for the kitchen cabinets I'm currently building. I did buy Freud's adjustable tenon set, but it is a bit fidgety to go with the...
Thanks. Yes, I am familiar with the difference between dyes and stains, and I haven't used a pigment stain in years since I first tried dye stains. As for Sealcoat, I actually do plan on taking my...
I'm curious. Does the thin cut of shellac allow the dye to truly soak in and act as a stain, or does it become more of a toner?
I'm about ready to start some finishing and had planned on using...
I've had mine for about 8 years or so now, so it might not be exactly the same as current models, but mine has very little vibration. In fact it is surprisingly smooth for such a lightweight piece...
Since I am building separate bases for my cabinets I will already have structure at the toe-kick area. I will re-saw solid stock to 1/4" or so and face the toe-kicks.
Matt, in the cabinets I'm currently building for my kitchen I will be inserting a magnetic dry-erase panel similar to your plan, except mine will be facing out. My plan is to paint a piece of flat...
Using a good paste wax should do the trick just fine. I've got drawers in many locations in my house that glide nice and smooth on just a good coat of paste wax, and they've been going strong like...
I concur. It just happened to me recently as I was milling up stock for my kitchen cabinet project. Was a pain in the neck to clean out the filter. It's so easy to lose track of just how much you...
They are generally called pocket door slides or flipper door slides. Most woodworking hardware sources would carry them.
Scott, I'm building my cabinets exactly as you describe. I'll be constructing separate bases with a standard recess in front and around two inches or so on the ends of my two runs. I too didn't...
I'm currently building a set of cabinets for my kitchen and I plan on doing the same type of integrated end panel. I purchased a lock miter bit for just this purpose. I'm hoping that will make the...
Just a thought: you might want to consider the Tandems without Blumotion. It's not a big issue but sometimes waiting for the shelf to close before you can close the door can be annoying.
This is how I'll be doing it in my current kitchen project.
I bought a Bosch lithium ion drill/impact driver combo at a woodworking show some time ago and they had a certificate for a free accompanying tool, be it extra batteries like your deal, or what I...
Yep, looks great. I like your schedule and will likely go with a similar plan. I'll probably include a bit of tint in my schedule to go a few shades darker, but not much. All depends on what the...
Thanks Todd. I did consider such a configuration, but the tradeoffs (extra weight & bulk, extra wood) didn't seem worth it just to have the face frames flush. These adjacent banks will have common...
I'm aiming to have cabinet construction completed by the end of August.
Incidentally, I tried to work out the design so the face frames were flush to the cabinet sides, at least for my drawer banks. But since several banks share a partition there was no way for me to...
Nice job with the blog Jeff, and quite timely. I'm just beginning the same project at my house. Plywood and lumber is all on-site and plans are all drawn up. It looks like we are going to have...
I am about ready to start a kitchen reno in my house and intend to use the loose toekick method as well. Another benefit to this method not yet mentioned here is that it helps with flooring...
