I had Great Lakes casters on mine -- don't remember what model #, sorry. It's been a while. I think I bought studs to screw into the casters with an allen wrench, then put a nut on top. The sheet...

Well, I agree that fir and maple are close in color when newly milled, but of course the fir darkens a lot over time and the maple darkens just a little. I have maple floors vs. fir trim in my...
My GF and I lifted my 19-38 onto its stand -- to try to demonstrate that chivalry still lives, I gave her the light end. Was no problem, and neither of us is beefy.
Looks like a bit under 41 inches.
I've had good luck with 2" wide blue tape. I lay a staightedge on my bench to aid alignment of the box sides, put blue tape down sticky side up, carefully align the box sides on the tape with...
I did a Bosch dishwasher + custom inset front panel for my current kitchen. The metal toe-kick on the dishwasher isn't right for the inset depth, and I ended up building stupid little returns on the...
I put mine on casters similar to the great lakes ones, and discovered that the horizontal tab at the bottom of the base (through which I'd attached the casters) isn't really strong enough to support...
I'm currently using 12mm Apple Ply for drawer box sides, joined simply with #10 biscuits. I've done lock-rabbets in the past but the biscuits are faster and seem to work well enough. I've done...
You'll find that the fir will redden over time with UV exposure, and hopefully your plywood will gradually come to match the solid stock -- at least better than it currently does. You do have a...

Horton Brasses sells trunk L-brackets. I've been happy with their products and their customer service.
1. I like to use at least one divider, I like to think it helps keep the plywood in line. It's also about the look you're going for, of course.
2. I use solid drawer fronts for anything 6" or...
I got one of those with my jjp-12hh! Hope it wasn't important...
I have the Delta 8" slow speed grinder, it runs smoothly, I'm happy with it. On a related but different topic, can anyone offer a hint as to how to remove the guards? (I'm a daredevil.) The outer...
As an aside, when using these tongue-and-groove router bit sets, watch out for tearout when cutting the grooves for the panels. Consider doing a light climb-cut with the groove cutter before going...
That's right, the 99-036! I'm happy with it although I could use more adjustment on the small side for wafer-thin plywood.
I think we want to shellac the entire face of the mdf, it doesn't have a...
I made flat panel doors for my kitchen with poplar frames and 1/4" MDF panels. The panels are glued in, and I gave them a shellacking (sp?) before painting with water-based primer to prevent the MDF...
I've had reasonably good luck trimming doors with the festool saw and track, using laminate bits as shims to mark the desired size on the door, then cutting up to the line with the saw. It's pretty...
Thanks for posting this. What iphone app were you using?
It's actually a trivial task to increase the bevel angle with a micro-bevel, it's decreasing the angle that's arduous. I'd say increase the angle by whatever small increment you can until you're...

Lee Valley sells bushings, I assume others do too. You could make a good hole for the bushing with a plunge router.
For the locking devices, it seems like I"ve done okay by holding them where I want them and drilling the angled holes with a vix bit. I've been doing the pin at the back of the slide by putting the...
I have an old house and wanted a traditional-looking kitchen, so I have faceframe cabinets with inset doors. I've been using the Blum undermount drawer slides, and I like to put the box sides flush...
Somewhere I saw a suggestion to make the weights run in pvc pipes, and fill the rest of the pocket with polyurethane foam. I haven't tried this.
