Last time I was visiting my mom, I noticed that one of the local BORG's had the DW 735 Planer $70 cheaper than anywhere else. So, I think to myself should I bite the bullet or not. I waited. Now...

Lowes has the Dealt planer with a $60 Lowes gift card rebate. Do you know if this is in addtion to the $60 cash rebate from Dewalt, or in-lieu of?

I assume it's instead of, but looking at the...

not to hijack the thread, but where do you get the cheap backer laminate? I've only seen / looked at the borg. I bought a damaged piece for 10% off, but it still seemed pricey to me.

I remember reading a really indepth tutorial of various planes a long time ago. I can't remember who wrote it, but it was very well done with pictures. Does anyone remeber who wrote it? I don't seem...

Two different saw packages. the cabinet saw is 899 the uni is 1226.99. both with free shipping.

You could put a tongue on the plywood, and a groove for the oak face strip that is planed to the thickness of the plywood. OR you could just let the face strip be 1" (still using a tongue and groove...

I just picked up the annual issue. I was reading their article regarding various DC machines, and they claim that 1.5 hp collectors only are good using 4' or less flex tube (based on the chart in the...

I have a Delta contractor TS with a Unifence.

I'm wanting to build some TS jigs, and most of them reference using a Bies. (or similar) fence. the Unifence is not structured to allow for easily...

Well, she is pleased, but the room is actually my office so, it is really for me (or at least she lets me think so ;) ). She actually did the finishing part. She has much more paitence than I.

The case is Birch Ply & solid Birch for the face and banding of shelves.
Finished with Olympic "Red Mahogany" stain, and 4 coats of DEFT Brushable Laquer.

It took longer to finish, than to...

I scored the books too! Our local library had their annual Friends book sale. I had about 10% of the 10' x 7' section full before, but now, it's 95% full. For around $50 I was able to get Ludlum,...

My wife does upholstery.

She checked a video out from the local library. Watched it a couple times and off she went.

She bought a Campfield and it works fine.

I don't particularly like...

I love this board!

All the different ideas.

I would have NEVER thought about nailing from the back, lifting the wood nailing and hiding the nail, and I was not considering pocket screws...

:confused: Perhaps, I'm not getting it about pocket screws.

I can see how you might use pocket screws to put a face frame together, but to attach the face frame to the case?

I assume you'd...

Thanks.

I think with something this large, I'll break down, and use nails (until the glue dries :D ).

WOW,

There's a boatload of activity here. I go away for a few days, and my original kwestion, with tons of responses, is buried.

based, on the percieve sarcasm, 2x4's don't seem to generate...

I'm building wall unit bookcases. The main unit will be 10' long, 7' tall and 12 inches deep.

I also built a smaller stand alone bookcase. When I attached the face frame, I used all of my...

Nope,

I'm going to build 4 units then build a face frame to fake it into looking like one unit.

I'm finally building my 10' long 7' tall book cases!:)

My plans are to:

do all the cuts
build the face frame
sand everything
dry fit
use blue masking tape to tape off glue areas
...

Thanks for the feedback.

I do have a router table, So I will try that first with a sample board.

Thanks again.

Gary.

I have several 1.5" wide vertical face frame pieces that are 87" long . I plan on only fluting 60" or so, and I was thinking of handrouting...but since I'm a routing rookie :) , I don't trust myself...

In addition, try getting avast anti virus software, it scans, internet, peer to peer, im, and e-mail. Best of all, it's FREE. The 'geeks' at my work love it.

Woodcraft ordered for me.

I visited the Delta website, and poked around a bit. Couldn't find the instructions. So, I left an message/e-mail for support. Let's see how quickly they get back. I think the automated reply said...
