Office Workstations Construction Begins

[John Miliunas]

Nice and clean, Mark! There's just something I really like about the SS look. (Amazing, 'cuz even LOML likes it, too! We *never* seem to agree on stuff like that!) You have, however, hit on the one thing, which I really need to work on: Making proper jigs to make the job easier/better. I'm starting to learn that, but need to be more pro-active about it. As usual, great job, Mark!

[Frank Pellow]

Mark, I like your design, your material selection, and your workmanship (not to mention your speed)!

Thanks for showing the steps. I am sure that I will be able to incorporate some of the things that you did in this project in some of my future projects.

[Jon Olson]

Great documented project. Thanks. The designs are simple functional and easily accomplished on a much smaller scale if need be. That Kreg jig is the next item on my long list of tools needed.

Mark,

Can you tell me more about the L-shaped pieces of Al you used to hang the file holders on? I need to do this exact thing for my EC and I like what you used. Nice clean little project! I wonder if Al might be too soft over time?

[Mark Singer]

Chris,

They are from Hafele...the aluminium collection....their line of hardware is huge and reasonable they are on line

Cool...thanks!

[Mark Singer]

I installed all the large and small drawer fronts....and I am pleased with the wood grain and hardware. Now it is clear the interior of these cabinets is not visible. The edge banding is tight and looks good.

[Jim Becker]

Absolutely marvie!! The vertical grain on the fronts really looks nice...that keeps things looking unified all the way across the row.

[Keith Christopher]

Very nice Mark ! well done !

[Kelly C. Hanna]

Nicely done is right. I love the drawer fronts.

Mark,

Like everyone has said, nice cabinets. What blade do you use cross-cutting all that oak veneered board, and how is it on splintering? I need to pick up a new blade (after some unamed person managed to ruin one of my blades by using it way past the point of dullness), and was thinking about trying a WWer II after good results for the past few years with Frued.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

That is a great question. Forrest WWII is the answer. They are on sale at Amazon right now. There is another post about it. Great blade...did not splinter the Oak...did a lot better than my Festool Plunge w/ the fine blade!

Mark,

I thought that you were a big advocate of the DeWalt blades with something to the effect of half the price with similar performance. The model was DW7657

Have you changed your position? I ask as I was thinking of picking up a DeWalt based on your recommendation.

Thanks,
/Kevin

Edited to all the actual model #

[Mark Singer]

Kevin , the Dewalt is a great blade for the money. The WWII is better. Especially cuting veneered ply cross grain. At the current sale price at Amazon...I would get the WWII.

[Mike Vermeil]

Thanks for the info Mark. Do you use the standard 1/8" blade, or the thin kerf 3/32"?
