August 23, 20241 yr Popular Post Our next project is a linen closet. Took the old doors off and emptied it out today. Tomorrow demo. It will involve a drawer bank with aromatic cedar drawers, two banks of lazy Susan’s and shelving. We will use maple and sapelle. There will also be three sliding doors to match the doors we just finished. Paul

August 23, 20241 yr Popular Post Paul, you are a glutton for punishment! Looking forward to seeing your amazing craftsmanship.
August 30, 20241 yr Author Popular Post Well today was demo day. All cleaned out and ready for cabinets. Paul
September 1, 20241 yr Author Now into laminating and edge banding up all the components. It was supposed to be a day or two of glue up and then start making cabinets. Then disaster struck. The bathroom gods decided to make my life interesting. I am forced to gut and remodel a small bathroom due to crummy workmanship. The tile literally started falling off the wall. So now I have two projects going ☹️ I will start a thread under home improvement for the bathroom. Not a lot of woodworking. Mostly tile work and plumbing. Paul
September 7, 20241 yr Author Popular Post It’s been a busy week and the shop is thrashed. Several days of cutting, ripping and glue up. Have one more day of it and then all the panels can be run through the sander and start the assembly process and make the 10 lazy Susan’s. I’m waiting for fixtures on the bathroom project at this point. Paul

September 7, 20241 yr is that green board behind the tiles? sigh. how about some concrete board kids? and then a coat or two of the red stuff, and then the tiles?!
September 7, 20241 yr Author Yes it is. It is unfortunate how some people will basically do schlock work and get away with it. Oh well. Now it will be done properly. Paul
September 14, 20241 yr Author A few busy days putting panels through the sander and today starting to get everything cut to size. We should be assembling in a day or two. Paul
September 14, 20241 yr Author The first carcass is mortised, routered and ready for final sanding and assembly. Getting there slow but sure. Paul
September 15, 20241 yr Author Those templates date back to the 80’s and the cabinet shop. Now they have CNC machines that do it all. Paul
September 24, 20241 yr Author I’m back on the linen closet while we are in a holding pattern on the bathroom. I unfortunately didn’t notice a couple of major defects in one of the vertical panels. I meant to make it an outside side of a panel so it would not have mattered. I decided to try and use the Shaper Origin to eliminate both of them rather than make a new panel. You can judge the results for yourselves. Paul
