Tom,

I am also planning to start a similar project. I found a buying co-op that you can get you hardware and some other things through. They will also send you free design software.

Could somebody please tell me what type of joint this is? This is from my current kitchen cabinets. I would like to duplicate them (somewhat) in our new house.

Is this the best type of joint to...

Thank you all for the replies.
As you may have noticed from my previous posts, I am trying to pick a table saw. I am building my own kitchen cabinets and want to build some built-ins and an...

I have notice quite a bit of talk regarding the Biesemeyer Fence. Being newer to woodworking, I was hoping somebody could explain to me why this fence system is that much better than what would come...

I am trying to buy a new table saw. I have looked at the following saws (pictures below).
I am going to use them to build kitchen cabinets and other projects, dressers etc.
Can anyone give me...

Tim,

I have sided two different houses in the past two years. I would have to say that a vinyl siding would be the way to go. I may get shot for saying that on a WW forum, but the advantages of...

John,

Thanks for the reply.
I may give this a shot. It seems to be the general thought that there will be lead based paints under the top coats. I certainly wouldn't want to get too much...

Mark,

Thanks for the reply. I think I have the same exact type of base you are talking about. When you re-made it did you stick to the same type of style that was original to the house?
I...

Frank,

Not to attach a drawer front, it is the way the drawer front is built.
My joinery vocabulary is not the greatest followed closely by my skills. I should click a quick picture and post it...

I just recently purchased an old farm house that has really massive base molding and casing. There seems to be more than a few coats of paint on them with deep looking chips that were painted over....

The existing cabinets are only 4-5 years old (shaker style). Is this still the common practice for large cabinet companies? I am moving out of this house and in to another house where I will build...

I was looking at some existing cabinet doors in my home. They are M&T jointed but when you look at the top edge of the door you can see the entire joint. It does not look bad and you can't see it...

Lynn,

Wow, you have your hands full for sure!!
Great looking work on the joints.
I have to admit, my project will seem like a cake walk compared to yours.

Post some pictures of the barn!!
I am going to start a similar project on the new property I just purchased. I may be looking to your for some advice.

Is M&T jointery the best when building cabinet doors and drawer fronts?

Josh,

I can't believe there are two of us out there willing to take on projects like this!!
I recently purchased a farm house built in 1865.
Although the house has been gone through, the...

Jim,

Great looking room!! Your project really fits the look.
Are the cabinets next to the fireplace original? They almost look like some old barn wood that I have.
My new place is a 1865 farm...

Thanks for the replies!
Rigid it is.
Maybe with the savings I can pick up the sliding compound mitre saw I want. The wife does want all the moldings replaced, so you must have the right tool for...

I think I will invest in a really good divorce lawyer!!
That should make all tool purchases go smoother.
(if I could still afford them:) ).
All joking aside, I am in need of a new table saw to...

I just wanted to send out a thank you to those who have responded!
I appreciate all of the information you have passed along. It was exactly what I was hoping for when posting the message.
This is...

Thanks Jay,

I saw your kitchen and loved the back slash. Great looking transformation, hard to believe those are knock down cabinets.
We have an IKEA in Chicago near one of my offices so I may...

Lars,

The cabinets look great. Your information was extremely helpful and was exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for your help.

Jim,

That is a beautiful job on your kitchen!!!
The stove looks like it costs $20K alone! Similar to the one I want even though my wife prefers to cook from the microwave.
I appreciate your...

Mike,

Thank you for the reply. I am not going to the extreme. I am going to build with maple or hickory and use 3/4 ply where I can.
I am going to do a shaker door or maybe a simple raised...

Ray,

Thank you for your answer. I realize there are many variables to consider. I want to build a top quality cabinet
and it seems that everything I want standard in my cabinets are high end...
