    Wanted to say that I have had a lot of bad luck with the Hi-Lo's. Threw them away after the first faceframe. #7 is a smaller body diameter than a #8. The smaller body size works great in hardwoods...

    How about just screwing replacement studs in beside the bad stuff. Screw in to the solid sections of the studs and in to the sill and cap plates.

    I'm just saying..........

    I use the Drawer Lock bit which some people confuse with the Miter Lock bit. They both perform great but I prefer the appearance of the Drawer Lock, and I find it easier to setup. Even though all I...

    If you are only interested in replacing laminate with laminate, I don't see $250.00 as much of a bargain. Especially as they specify a one week cure cycle before returning to full use (see video on...

    Hey Bill, great job and

    excellent presentation. You obviously have the raw talent so I guess we can expect new projects to keep showing up as the little person's needs expand.
    Congratulations,

    May as well get in the habit now

    of setting the bottom panel flush with the top of the lower horizontal faceframe rail. Yeah, I know it has little impact on a bank of drawers but on an open cabinet, a recessed bottom is not the...

    I have drilled many 35mm holes

    by hand and find that they are not that much of a challenge. It's pretty simple to make a guide fixture out of scrap bits to set the edge distance as well as guide the forstner bit. In most cases,...
  16. Just my opinion here but

    your cross cuts on long wood are more likely to be dead on square when guaged off the fence of the saw. A longer guaging surface will allow boards with a bit of character (not perfectly linear) to...

    The answer for me would be 3/4" thick plywood.

    bolted and glued to the existing walls. I would cut the plywood to the size of the bank of cabinets minus 2" on each dimension. Attach it to the wall making it plumb and level, carefully setting the...

    I elect to use 3/4 thick throughout.

    On the uppers I cut a dado about 4" down from the top that is 1/2" deep and 2" wide. Before I hang the boxes, I install strips of 1/2" thick plywood which allows me to verify the stud locations and...

    I'm sure it's me

    but the wood I am seeing in the pictures looks to be somewhere around 8 to 12" long. What am I missing?

  21. The largest amp draw is at startup

    and amp draw is directly proportionate to thermal heat generation so I can't see anything good coming from extending this part of the cycle.

    Just my $.02 and worth what it cost you.

    Be sure of your gun adjustments also.

    Too much air, not enough fluid (nomal settings for novice to avoid runs and sags) will cause plenty of dry overspray. You want to lay on a good wet looking coat.

    is the cope cut which is the cross grain cut on the two ends of the rail. It is the tool you will want to run first. After your cope cuts are completed, set up the stick cutter to run all the edges...
