They are one of my favorites. Nothing's Shocking is solidly in my top 5 favorite albums and always has been. Saw them recently at the Electric Factory in Philly and they played the entire album in...

Tool / APC
NIN
Soundgarden
Alice In Chains
Failure
Faith No More
Rage Against the Machine
Jane's Addiction
DAGS for "card catalog drawer pulls" - many results.
David - I should have said "I want to get the reinforcement..." instead of making a general statement. My reasoning was that is the part of the join that shows, and for the piece I was making the...
I'm with Frank on this one - Domino. I have made a few cabinets with long miters (one floor-to-ceiling in a bathroom) and put Dominos in the joint and they have been rock solid and showing no sign...
I also drill before finishing. I have a bunch of cardboard circles that are about the size of the cup holes that I put in the holes through the finish cycle. I drew a buhch of circles on a...
You don't say what you are doing but, for me, unless it is a very special piece with a small number of drawers and I want to have the dovetails done by hand I find drawer making to be thankless work....
I am a little out of my depth on this one and could use some help if you have thoughts about this and can spare the time. Wife wants a vanity for the kids bathroom and wants a somewhat weathered or...
IMHO the thing you should do before purchasing any drill press is to talk to Pat Warner. Guy is super nice / helpful and has a wealth of information. I faced the drill press buying decision recently...
+1 on this.
+1 It is essentially an extremely large weed here - great for shade though. I have one in my front yard that is massive and I had 5-6 that were equally massive removed a few years ago because they...
I have always lusted after a 60's model Series 62 Cadillac convertible. If money were no object and I could swing for the fences - 1959 Eldorado Baritz convertible.
Poplar is an outstanding secondary wood and primary if it is to be finished with an opaque finish. I buy and use a lot of it and "I wish I had another poplar board" is an oft repeated phrase in my...
I got 30 seconds into it and had to close the link. That just might be the most unsafe thing I have ever seen anyone do. When I first saw it I thought there was no way the router could be turned on...
For me, anything in the $30-$40 range for a "standard" kitchen drawer built to my specs, of very good quality and finished is a no-brainer for me and iirc New England Drawer is cheaper than that.

Another idea. You mention you are making things with drawers and selling them. To me, I have made enough drawers and done the math and for my own situation I can't even come close to these guys...
Starts at about $7.00 per bd/ft out by me. If it was at HD it was probably planed to 3/4(ish) so you are a bit less than 4 bd/ft but you won't get a break for that as that is not how they charge. ...
Thanks for the time guys - I really appreciate it. 1/2" is a little on the short side for what I am looking for but I think the link Rick sent is pointing me in the right direction.
Wondering if I can tap into the collective resourcefulness of the crowd. I am looking for what I believe is called a drill bushing. What it essentially is is a piece of steel that is about 3/4" long...
Typically I am a DIY sorta guy but if I were in your shoes and faced with this particular task I would be putting out a feeler for a shop with a CNC that I could send the picture and cash to and...
This. The learning curve is not that great - you just need to back up the trailing side so it doesn't blow anything out. Keep it really sharp.
Someone sent this to me yesterday and I have to give the guy his due for creativity as it is a really cool idea and watching him fold them up was really cool. I am not a fan of plywood drawers for...
I did the same on my DJ-20 a few years ago and have been very happy with it. Very easy to install.
This! I would run, not walk in the other direction from this one.
