    For my DC, I bought a Long Ranger 220v remote-control switch that I plugged into...

    The belt sander is hard to get into the space, and I have 3 bathrooms to do so I think the silicone and pin nails will be easiest for me.

    Thanks all for the tips and quick responses.
  3. Good point, Chip. Silicone it is.

    Thanks Mark. I got lucky with the ply. The face frame has about a 1/4" overlap with the side so it fits essentially flush with the 1/4 ply (which is about 7/32).

    And since I got a yes vote that...
  5. Attaching panel to side of existing cabinet

    I am updating the vanity cabinets in our bathrooms with shop-built walnut doors. I stripped the oak face frames with Citristrip (which worked great) and stained them walnut. So far, so good.

    Relaxing walnut

    I need to know how long to let some rough sawn walnut relax after cutting them before jointing and planing.

    Good point Matt. I am actually not going to keep the door under it. But with sag almost a certainty, today I will joint and true up a couple of 2x4s and attach them with pocket screws down the...

    Thanks for all your replies to questions and your experiences. I finished the assembly today.

    I used 2 layers of 3/4 mdf and with my wife's help, we spread on 2 coats of Tightbond Extend. I put...

    Glenn,
    Neat idea on the block of wood. Also the multi-sided dog.

    Also, I think I should get a regular 3/4 drill bit like you have instead of burning up Forstner bits.

    Another question: Do...

    Lots of good ideas.

    I finished the base and was thinking of using 2 layers of 3/4 mdf as a quick interim top before making a glued-up solid wood top. Sounds like it might become my permanent top....

    MDF for workbench top - edging?

    I have read several posts about using one or two layers of mdf for the top (and maybe topped with disposable fiberboard). How do you attach a strip of solid wood to the edges to protect the mdf? The...

    Difference between Delta 36-716 and 716B?

    Does anybody know the difference between the Delta 36-716 and 36-716B?

    I am leaning toward buying this instead of the Grizzly G0661.

    thanks!

    I am sorry to say that no one has experience with the G0661. Grizzly has not not begun shipping it.

    220v wiring

    If you are in your own house, and if you have a 220v electrical service panel, you can do most of the wiring work and not break the bank.
