I’ve been waiting to get to my own closet since we moved in here. The existing closet is like all the other storage in this house. A study in tacky particle board. I started laminating up the first of the panels today. It will be maple panels with sapelle trim to match the rest of the house. Paul
July 28, 2025Jul 28 Author Popular Post It was a long weekend of milling, gluing and surface sanding but the panels for the first part of the closet are done. Today and tomorrow is cutting to size and routering before assembly. This is about half the cabinets for the closet. Paul

July 29, 2025Jul 29 Author Popular Post My wife periodically does me the “favor” of purging all my old work clothes. Problem is it’s always my best stuff. A work shirt that only has a couple of glue spots is just getting comfy. Besides, the glue spots just keep coming. Not like you can stop them. 😎
July 30, 2025Jul 30 Author Popular Post My crosscut shoe of many years gave up the ghost while cross cutting the big panels. So time for a new one and onward. Paul

August 11, 2025Aug 11 Pal, speaking of lazy susans...is that a giant one in the background of that pic?
August 11, 2025Aug 11 Author Popular Post Yes it is. It’s articulated so I can swing it out over the bench or swing it out of the way when I need to use the entire bench. It holds all the tools I use on a daily or frequent basis as well as fasteners. Paul
August 12, 2025Aug 12 Author Popular Post Progress today. The corner unit should be done tomorrow. Paul
August 14, 2025Aug 14 Author Popular Post Finished the corner unit today putting on the last of the trim. The rest of the closet is fairly straight forward. Paul
August 15, 2025Aug 15 Author Popular Post Today was a long day of gluing up panels to make the rest of the carcasses. Paul
August 16, 2025Aug 16 Looks great so far. And people tell me my builds take a while and are complicated......🤣
