    Lurking!

    Dick,
    WELCOME TO THE CREEK!! From what I can see from your work in the kitchen, the ONLY reason that you were "lurking" is that you didn't want to embarrass people like ME! VERY nice work!!

    By the way, don't EVER worry about embarrassing ME! It's the story of my life and I am quite comfortable with it! Have at it, you showoffs, give me your BEST shot!!

    Again, Dick, WELCOME!!

    Dale T.
    I am so busy REMAKING my projects that I don't have time to make them the FIRST time!

    Dick, I am glad that you only lurked a little while then joined us. Welcome to Saw Mill Creek! It certainly looks like we can learn things from you.

    Julio, I really don't have much in the line of detailed pictures.I'm a big fan of the lock mitre joint.The joint is used on all exposed ends.The back side of the island was built as one unit and installed after the cabinets were in place.

    I like to keep the inside of the cabinets smooth and clean,so the end panels are applied to the outside.These cabinets go to a 9' ceiling.

    I have to admit,that due to shop size and time constraints,this is the first job I haven't finished.There is a pro finisher 1.5 miles up the road that did the finish.But,I was pleased to see that his finish isn't any better then mine.It was stained w/Easy Wipe stain by Chemcraft followed by sealer and pre-cat lacquer by the same company.
    There will be a new wine & culinary institute by the lake you can visit this summer when your here for the art festival.

    Very nice.

    I'll look forward to seeing more pics of your projects. Think detail pics as you build, We love those.

    Dick, Welcome!

    Great looking work. I am in Fairport. I work with a guy from Canandaigua (just now getting used to spelling that). While not originally from here My wife and I really like the area.

    BTW, where do you get all that gorgeous cherry? Bristol Valley HW? Im always looking for sources.

    Again, welcome.

    For the bigger jobs,I get rough or skip dressed lumber as well as plywood from Thruway Hardwood & Plywood near Buffalo.If I need a couple boards I go to Bristol Valley,but he's close to $2/bd' more.Another place you might try is Earl Pettits Cabinet Shop,just south of Bristol Mt.He dries his own lumber,and it's good stuff, but will only sell it dressed.I got mine there when I first started.
    I did a bunch of kitchens just up the road from Fairport in the condos at New Wickham.Also did one for the vet in Fairport.
