“I’ll have what you’re having”! I forget the movie?

No offense bud, but unless I read this wrong, you contradict yourself? If I were to build a unit, regardless of drawers, doors etc, I would build the carcass first, due to it’s mass. Gotta get that mother in it’s space. Then I would build the face frame and scribe the outside edges to fit the space. I can sand the edges of the ff easier than trying to sand the sides of a piece of ply to thickness. I bet I am missing something, somewhere?

I have always done it this way as well until I mentioned on a project like yours and it was suggested otherwise. I have only done one other project since and it was a “makeup table” for my young niece that had drawers to the right of the knee space. I did build the face frame last on this. Chet and Kev, would you have done the same in this case? Didn’t mean to hj you Tmize.

I watched their minute and half video and I can see the value. The micro adjustment on the flip stop is neat!

Good idea Chet! I now feel that my calls to the councilman were counterintuitive. Probably pissed off someone and put me at the bottom of the pile.

Hey bud! Welcome to the forum(s)!

I might have told this story before? Six weeks or so after we turn the plans in for a permit and after a call to my councilman, the permit dept. called and said that the permit was ready to be picked up. The contractor went to the fifth floor as instructed and the lady handed him the paperwork and told him to take it to the clerk on the first floor. He’s thinking that’s where he pays for the permit. He takes it to the first floor and hands the papers to the clerk and she tells him thank you. He asks where his permit is and she said one more person had to review the plans and she would call when approved. He asked her that he had to drive 30 miles just to take the plans down an elevator 4 floors and she said yes and turned and walked off. 6 weeks later and another call to the councilman and we finally got the permit. Tmize, you are right about the power trip, got you by the nads! And on the structural inspection, the inspector told us he was the electrical inspector, filling in for his bud. He takes a couple of glances, says wow, and signs off on it. Can’t beat city hall!

Wow, that’s pretty intense! I didn’t know that site existed.

As our house was needing a new roof anyway, I had the contractor re-roof it while he was roofing the addition. They were roofing today when the inspector came out. He asked if we had a permit for the rest of the house as the building permit was only for the new addition. The roofers had to stop while their boss got a second permit. All about revenue!

We got our coverup final today on the electrical and plumbing inspection is tomorrow. If all goes well, we will get sheet rock next week. Hopefully the door will make her appearance in less than a month.

What’s your usual thickness if you have a choice? I realize this one was using what you had at hand.

+1 I agree. Good looking enough to leave out on the counter but not so dainty where it’s “ too pretty to use”! Kev, what’s the size of this one?

Your mom sounds as appreciative as my mom was. Glad you got to spend the shop time with her. You are fortunate!

Well worth the sacrificial fire wood. Good job bud!

Anyone know off the top of your head, what the differences are, except for Bryan’s ?!

I have the V120 with the extension arm and it works great.

Now you’ve started something! Both look great!

It’s just that I usually don’t have time during the day to participate in the forum and try to catch up in the evening and am surprised at the limit. Maybe I should limit my enthusiasm?

Back in my days, there were no limits. Pissed me off back then but grateful now! Kev, what are the limits of likes?

Sorry, no more likes but by golly, I remember wearing them when the schoolmarm would slap our hands with a 2x! ?

Yep, that’s what they used to call chain mail. Almost identical to the armour used by the Romans, even before my days!

I currently have 4 ea. 8’ double lamp fixtures in my 24’x24’ shop and would really like to not have to move them but to make better use with the led tubes. I’ll go to HD tomorrow to see what my choices are. Thanks all for your help. Anything to get rid of those darn ballast operated machines!

Yeah, a goldendoodle. I was being facetious about the gloves. They would have to be made of chain mail to help. The vet today gave us some helpful hints on the biting and recommended a powder to apply to the wounds to stop the bleeding. ?

I’ve had Labs in the past that were useful when there was a duck in the water but I fail to realize the value in this mutt other than to provide companionship to my wife when I’m in the shop. Luckily we have agreed to not breed her, although it would be nice to recoup the purchase price.

Well, sometimes, out of cameras view, only to appease the wife. I also have second shift at 5:00 damn a.m to take her out to potty. Happy wife, happy puppy!
