Hello,
Week of the 12th:
First picture is the cabinets before.
2nd picture is what I woke up to on Tuesday morning. ~ 2 to 3" of snow - and a ~ 75 lb drill press I needed to transport to the jobsite.
3rd is "the iron beast". My $78.00 closeout benchtop (if ~ 75lbs can be called benchtop) borg drill press.
I needed to use a 1 1/4" Forstner bit for the hinges which meant moveing "the beast" into place. The ~ 2"/3" of snow didn't help matters much. Thankfully I got the beast into place before we got the additional 10 + inches later in the week.
4th shows the dance I had to do attaching featherboards to the Hitachi. a standard 3/4" miter slot would have made life a lot easier.
5th shows the false panels being glued and tacked.
What I did was take the existing plywood doors and ripped a false frame for them, then glued and nailed them in place.
Over time, movement may be a concern, but this is really a temporary solution for the time being. If I get 2 or 3 years out of it I'll be content.
