Ron Dudelston posted a topic in Home ImprovementI recently bid a job to build in cabinets in a back kitchen of a house that was built in 1874. I bid the job way high because I really didn't want to do it. Unfortunately, the customer (who is a friend of mine) accepted the bid. The house has 10 ft. ceilings and the outside wall was out of plumb about 3/4" top to bottom. I custom built two 45" x 23 1/4" x 24 deep raised panel cabinets to go in a nook over the refrigerator, a 10" wide broom closet and built in the range. Here's the before pictures. Here's the after pictures. -
Dadio posted a topic in General WoodworkingI have been working on making a cabinet under my new drum sander , Not done yet, I have to do the drawer fronts and little shelf insert on one end. But here is what I have right now. I am going to the lumber store tomorrow and pick up some wood for the fronts. Herb

oldwoodie posted a topic in General WoodworkingI really like that cabinet in the last mag. I got. I think it would work out for our kitchen for storage. Think I might build one. Any one else got any comments? -

I bet most of us can remember the good ol sewing machine cabinet that mom or grandma used to own. They were well built, classic, and beautiful. Here is a great chance to get to know one inside out, and possibly even build your own. Have fun! -

Ron Dudelston posted a topic in General WoodworkingThis week, I finally built a case to house all of my planes that have been gathering dust and taking up valuable space on my bench. I built the case from walnut and tulip that came from my local county. I used tulip to accent the darker planes but built the dividers from walnut. The angled display board is hinged so that I can stuff extra "parts" behind it. Never waste space in a small shop. I do with that I would have built the rack at a 60 degree angle instead of 70 degree. The planes are stable but I would feel better with 10 more degrees of tilt. The sides are dovetailed for strength and the glass is simply 1/8" glass. I toyed with putting tempered glass in but didn't want that much extra weight hanging. The door has a pair of rare earth magnets to keep it closed. The case is hung with a french cleat. For those of you guys who have been in my shop, I put it on the south wall next to the window. I'm running out of wall space so I may have to build a new shop. As for the planes, there are three that I wanted to protect to hand down to my son. The Bailey 24 on the top rack was my grandfathers plane, the Stanley next to it was my father's and the Stanley next to it was probably one of the first tools I ever purchased about 45 years ago. Notice that I left an extra space next to the Firestone. My son's plane will go there so that the whole thing may be passed to my grandson. Here's the pictures empty and full.

steven newman posted a topic in General WoodworkingYep, drawer Wars. As in, a fight to the finish between me and that evil dovetail jig. Fought to get the router set up, fight to get the jig set up. Fight to get two drawers to go together..... The Jig in use I figure at least I could try to do both drawers at the same time.. Not the greatest of fits, Got the sides and front ripped and planed to size, then this mess starts up. Well, coping saw to close a few gaps. BIG ball pean to close others. Getting late Well this morning, I moved that jig out of my sight, needed to room on the bench. Drawer sides were almost 3" too long. Trimmed them for length. Ripped and crosscut a board to get two pieces for backs, and set them aside. Set up another router, hoping it would do it's job. Needed grooves for the plywood bottoms. Set up the fence and the height of the bit. Then hunted for the cord to plug the router into. Yep, that $23 router table and router. Had the bottoms cut to size and even sanded it a bit. Needed that to check on the width of the groove. Took a second cutting. Then two clamps, and a bunch of glue for the front, and some glue and screws for the backend. Once I had found how wide the back needed to be. One screw to hold the bottom to the back, two on each corner, The doveatils were on their own, though sat the completed drawers in their new homes, once I figured out which went where. Needed to make something for them to slide around on. Some OLD 1x2 strapping, with the staples removed, four pieces were cut. Drilled three pilot holes in each. Set one end even with the front runner/stretcher, and finger clamped it in place. Set the combo square to set the height for the rest of the runner, three screws, and some Elmers. Finger Clamps? By Visegrip of course.. This was after the fourth runner was added. Next? Well, the BOSS wanted a cabinet on one end, so Had some extra plywood and some cleat stock sitting around, cut one panel for the drawer end. Had to notch for the runners, as the front one would be where a few screws would wind up. Panel is a bit shy of full width, by a 3/16" or so. Screwed to the legs and the front runner. One end is done, needed a back as well. It needed a cleat or two, but it is now in place And have added a cleat for the other side panel...that I still need to cut out. Then maybe, just maybe, build a DOOR for this thing? I am thinking this will be more for "Cookie Sheets and the like" and might not need a shelf inside. Don't think shelf pins will hold in 1/4" ply, anyway. Still have to final fit the drawers, and sand them to paint grade ( Guess who wants to paint it?). Even found two Kanoobies that match the ones in the kitchen! Have until Thursday afternoon to get something else done. On Med Leave right now...

Cliff posted a topic in General WoodworkingMy first go at hand cutting DTs. The drawer material is 3/4 pine from the BORG (2 drawers 24" sq outside on Blummotion heavy duty slides) The project is a pedestal for a front loading washer dryer It's made from mortised 2-by material. Shelled in with half inch birch. Will be filled and painted to match the appliances. nothing fancy Rise height 24" or thereabouts (emphasis on the thereabouts) The wheels in the rear are swivel type the ones in the front are Great Lakes Casters that pick the wheel up off the floor when I rotate a little star-wheel in the caster in order to lock them Three in front three in the back. I used my hand made DT saws. Note one is brass backed the other still has the back that came it from the BORG when it was a sheet rock mud scraper. I got lazy. Both are 24 TPI. Getting the "hang" for the handle was a bit of a trick as I didn't even know about "hang" when I started. I made the saws mounted handles and when I started a cut they just stuck solid like they were nailed to the wood. The handle's angle and location is important. The project Some tools My two DT saws The first Drawer all glued up with the bottom ( half inch Birch) Just stop and think about this a moment. All kinds of guys looking at some crappy pine drawer cobbled together with hand tools the fit is - well - - hey it's an effort - and it's some guy's first effort at cutting the joints and some people find this interesting? Really??? REALLY????? Well you may just BE a woodworker = coz ain't no one else going to find it interestin' ~!!! I haven't built a moxxon vice so I just used the project to hold the drawer sides. Marking out the pins or are they tails - - it gets so Konfoozin Ohh look~!! they might just fit. Fitment detail to follow And the thing is square too -
Ron Dudelston posted a topic in General WoodworkingLast month my daughter's refrigerator died so she bought a fancy smancy side by side with ice in the door. It is also three inches wider that her old one so her upper cabinet came down and the base cabinet had to be remove to accommodate the frig. My job was to remake the upper and lower cabinet. Originally the cabinet to the right of the refrigerator dropped straight down and rested 18 inches above the base unit so instead, I built the upper cabinet all the way to the wall and built a shelves below the cabinet. I then remade the base unit without a drawer (her request and I didn't complain). Though the pictures don't show it, I'm installing a LED dimmable light under the shelf to brighten the dark corner. Next job........ a communion table from reclaimed pews.

Warped & Twisted posted a topic in General WoodworkingThe face frame and raised panel door are to be made of either African mahogany or Sapele. What's the difference between the two. Is one or the other easier to work with? More stable ect? I'll be doing my own stock prep. -
John Morris posted a topic in General WoodworkingI am starting on a job, this past Friday I headed on out and picked up about 200 bdft of pine from my favorite lumber dealer Reel Lumber in Riverside CA. My customer wants a solid pine lower cabinet, and upper as well. The lower overall height is 36" and the upper overall height will be 41". There will be another smaller cabinet at the other end of the room as well. All the cabinets will be painted antique white with the interior's left natural, and we will have a dark color butcher block for the tops. Saturday I completed my cut list and glue up of the 12" wide boards, then yesterday Sunday I started assembling. The first lower cabinet case is complete, I need to install the rear boards, and the doors of course. The photo below is a 10 length of butcher block that will be cut in two, one piece will be installed over the cabinet above, and the other piece will stretch between two walls and over a front load washer and dryer. I am going to strip the finish off the butcher block and stain it a dark color, perhaps a cherry stain. Of course I had my helper by my side most of the time, below is my hard working 8 year old son taking a break and drinking a juice after we unloaded some of the pine. My son liked to hang out under the shade of the pine boards, you cannot tell but it's hot this day, and the sun would peak out and with the monsoonal clouds, the humidity would hit the upper sphere of the barometer. After a while my boy took to using a hand saw to cut some pine boards and with a Veritas low angle block plane, he squared up the ends to each other. He and I have really been working closely this last year in the shop, and it's paying off, he understands, and he knows the steps, and he is using hand tools with a lot of pride. It'll be a matter of just years before he passes up the ol man in the skill of woodworking. After planing the boards flush to each other I was very proud to notice him pick up his square out of his pouch and check for accuracy. I was in the shop quietly observing him, he did it perfectly, planing, and checking for square till it was all perfect and 90. He is light years ahead of me already when I was his age. I'll keep the pics coming as I get the work done, and hopefully my son will be out there with me.
