Yes, there is that too. The other 'heavy handedness or restrictions' do exist and it's not fun. Being free of all that has got to be worth something.

Thanks for the explanation Jim. I hope people will see these discussions positively, I believe discussion and openness is better in then end.

Selling to a corporation might not be a bad idea (i.e...

Nope I would not.

The difference is that members are being asked to help pay the costs of the forum, to help keep it alive, help prevent it from going under. As far as I can tell there is no sign...

If you ask members to contribute what could turn out to be a large sum of money (albeit individually this might be insignificant) we are going to want to know the details. If this is Keith's business...

Is there any published info on actual costs, what they entail? Viewing the costs could actually help people pay a small yearly fee.

Yes. a dab of glue would theoretically do the same job although I wonder about the chances it coming apart over time. I'll definitely think about it. The small pin is something I know would work and...

I think I know where the misunderstanding is. The inner panels are NOT glued to the two vertical splines, the reason for that is to allow for seasonal movement of each individual panel within its...

Sometimes I think an illustration helps. If the pins were omitted each panel has the potential to drop by 1/8". Gluing the long vertical spline into the stile has no bearing on the inner panels.
...

The reason for using the pins was to keep the inner panels from dropping over time, which they would if left floating. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your point so please clarify if needed.

I'll take a look, I usually use a bunch of large dominos but these are heavy doors so I might just do that.

Thanks...

The problem I see with this method is that you might see small gaps opening up (due to seasonal movement) between each inner panel at the ends within the 1/8" reveal. That's the idea behind the long...

Kevin,

I must have skipped past this post of yours, which gives further explanation. If I understand you correctly the only real difference between your suggestion and my design is the domino in...

Hi Kevin,

Some of what you are suggesting is not clear, so if you can clarify that would help.



I think I've done that already so that shouldn't need to change.

I think this will work. A vertical spline pinned through each inner rail by a single walnut 1/4" dowel and seated into each stile. This will keep the inner rails evenly spaced and allow for expansion...

Hi Ben,



I do have a Domino but I'm not sure how I could make it work with this design but you gave me an idea.
I'm thinking of pinning every second inner rail through the center with a walnut...

Hi Brian,

Quarter sawn material is about 25% more expensive but I think it can be done with flat sawn and the right design. I started the design with a uniform thickness but the weight for the...

Yes I agree, definitely intend to do that ;) thanks.

Here is a little more detail and info that may not be obvious from the initial post.

A critical aesthetic design component is the 1/8" gap which surrounds ALL components. I don't want seasonal...

Hi,

I'm designing a solid wood bedroom door and wanted to run it past the forum members before settling on the final design. See attached photo for details.

The main question I have is with...

I used a little to make a Tung/Beeswax cutting board rubbing cream and it appears to work fine. I don't think its at the point where its ready to be tossed out, but it's a little thick to pour. Will...

Hi,

I've had a 1 gallon bottle of pure Tung oil for about 8 years now and its beginning to turn a little thick. The bottle had some air in it, so I just purchased some air tight finish storage...

Thanks, I'm not certain they will even want to help me yet, I'll wait until one of the techs returns my call and ask about Andrew again. Appreciate your suggestion.

Pat,

Initially I was loathed to ask them because its a third party product and I really don't expect them to provide help with that, however I just called and Alan left the company a few years...

Yes, I spoke to them and I'd have to purchase another remote kit because the current remote receiver has failed.

Exactly, so why anyone would invest in this second rate unit for a second time is beyond me.
