Thanks for the tips guys. I am using a router table with a dust collector. Just built one last week. I'm also planning on continuing these cuts outdoors for air quality reasons.

Hey guys, been a while. In the middle of a raised panel wainscoting project at the moment. Just bought a new Bosch router (2-1/4 hp) with a variable rpm setting. Wondering what is the recommended...

Kevin,

I recommend the Tobin book on kitchen cabinet construction in addition to Norm's technique.

I would be hard pressed to repeat this effort if I didn't use the Cabinet Planner software...

Thanks for the advice... I happen to live across the street from a glass company!

I believe most of the wood in my home, including the hardwood floors is "red pine" or norwegian pine. It's...

Jamie,

That's an awesome idea.... that also radically simplifies the door construction. the molding doesn't need to integrate into the stained glass, but can effectively sit on top of the plate...

I'm looking at building a new entry door for my home. I'd like to rebuild the old stained glass door that once was there for most of the last century. My plan is to keep the layout identical and have...

good question,

the prefinished maple ply is exposed in the interior of the cabinets. The cabinets that have exposed sides that required paint have a sandwich of birch play over the maple. The...

Chris,
Thanks for the compliments.

A pull out trash can is a great idea, unfortunately, I think I'd have to replace a section of granite to get it in there. I'm probably going to add a few...

The granite was purchased locally... was going to do concrete, but ran out of time... I'm happy with the granite though.

It was a redo... a major redo. That picture from the gutting was taken in June of 2007. I officially finished it in August of 2008.

I used the latex. I went on smooth and was easy to work with. It left minor brush marks but had very good leveling properties overall. I would definitely use it again. I can't properly compare it...

Coincidentally, I was gearing up for this project when Norm was starting to air his 9 episodes on kitchen cabinets in 2008. So, I used most of his construction techniques. I used Cabinet Planner to...

Ok,

So it's been a while since I've posted, but I finished my kitchen cabinet project last year and I thought I'd post the before and afters...
The cabinet boxes are prefinished maple ply, the...

Thanks for the suggestions!

Ok,

So I'm planning on making a set of four sliding doors for a very wide open closet. I'd like them to be thicker than the standard 3/4" like kitchen cabinet doors. I'd like to get a hold of...

I believe that burning is a function of the feed rate and is independent of the particular type of saw... the slower the feed, the greater the burn. However, a higher powered table saw will allow...

I'd keep them. While I believe Jet plans for mistakes like this, the real inconvenience is on you. If you feel you need to return this to be honest, Jet just basically mailed you an errand. In...

Thanks for the process suggestions.. I'm going to mull over my options and start the doors this weekend. I'll be sure to take pictures as I go through it... Any of these methods are not as hard as...

Hey all,

So I have my kitchen cabinets primed and installed and I'm going to be making the doors and drawer fronts. Since the cabinets are white inset and fairly plain looking, I wanted to add...

I just ordered a set of drawer boxes for my kitchen project from Western Dovetail. They're also in CA. They're prices were reasonable... for 5 drawer boxes in soft maple, prefinished but not...

I ended up needing 18" deep tandem drawer slides for my 24" base cabinets since I'm using inset doors and drawers with a 3/4" thick back panel recessed 3/4" into the cabinet. I didn't meet the...

Thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to post pictures as I go through it.

John V.

That is the question...

I'm going to be assembling kitchen cabinets within the next month or so.. For the doors, I'm using poplar boards for rails and stiles with a flat MDF panel. My finish...

Pat's is better than Geno's!! I prefer my cheesesteak greasey and runny, none of that clean stuff across the street. Either way, the way to order it is "Cheese Wit" or "Whiz Wit."

Nothing an X-Ray can't clear up!
