ANYWHERE a 90* is required!

Did I mention that I used Kev’s miter sled design for the trim pieces? That sucker is a go too on most projects.

Well, after 10 weeks, we finally got the building permit and the slab forming will start tomorrow. Although the door won’t be installed for a couple of months, I got the itch to start back working on it. I took it to the glass company yesterday for them to measure for the panes as it will have tempered glass, if they measure wrong, they buy it. Today, I mortised out for the three hinges using an inexpensive jig from Amazon. It worked great and even came with a carbide bit with bearing, all for less than $15. The only down side of the jig is the thickness which allows for the bearing to ride against. This didn’t allow me to use the hinge as a depth guide so I used some scrap wood and trial and error to get the correct depth. I cut the retaining strips with a bead on the show side. Due to the bead, I found that mitered corners looked better than butt joints. But, keeping Chet’s advice about replacement in case a pane gets broken, I made several extra pieces. Whether or not I can find them if it occurs, we’ll see. A coat of ARS on the trim pieces.

I read that in the earlier presidential elections, that the person that received the most votes was President and the one that received the second most votes was to be Vice President. Wouldn’t that be a helluva deal today? ?

I see some stores, even in Austin, are boarding up their windows. And the sad part is that those that are apt to do the looting will do it, regardless of who wins. It’s just a friggIn opportunity for them. Hope it doesn’t lead to that.

Chet, I think yours are the ones I remembered.

I bought 2 packs of those last week. I was thinking about labeling and I don’t see that on yours. Does that just come natural with experience or do you measure yours before use? I.e. straight cutting and round over or actually, any of them.

Thanks Kev and I remembered yours. As I have more drawer space than wall, maybe I should have said drawer storage. And actually it’s probably a no brainer. Build drawer and drill holes into inserts. Sometimes I tend to over engineer things.

Will a couple of you guys post pics of how you store your bits please? It won’t completely change my life but will certainly point me towards a little bit of organization. ? Thanks

+1 I guess they have no way of knowing what’s inside a black trash bag or do they provide you with clear bags?

Yeah, I remember Chet doing this!

Great video Kev. The journal was exceptional but the video offers that just a little bit extra ( lagniappe). Good save on the veneered leg. Did you do the veneered piece on the bs and then the drum sander?

What experience in Woodworking do you have and what do you like to build. Mine runs the full gamut from decorative boxes to non-fine Woodworking furniture?

Welcome to the forum bud!

You had to have had your mojo going with that many pieces. Run all thru, flip them, run them thru, etc. . Certainly more work and almost as boring as watching glue dry, you’re making good headway!

Well, don’t keep us hanging. Did you get it moved without having to go to a chiropractor? Oh, btw, your wife did a great job on the pulls.

Thanks guys, appreciate the compliments. Speaking of tapered legs, I didn’t do any research but since there are 3 legs, front and back, are they tapered in the right direction. That’s actually the front of my work bench.

As I got into this more and remembering that it was to be painted, I lost more enthusiasm and didn’t take pics. So to close it out, here is the final product. Bottom drawer is not shut complete I see.

Chet, just wondering why you didn’t plan on using the Domino to begin with other than now you have to plunge cut your grooves on the stiles and come up short on each end? What are you using for panels?

Very well done Kev. That thing is awesome!

That’s a bunch of parts. Good progress!

Can the GFHP be applied over a wb paint, in my case, Behr Premium Plus, and if so, what would be the recommend wait time? No indication on the instructions. Sorry Kev, didn’t mean to hj.

Thanks, mine as well.

@Tmize had no way of knowing and I personally apologized to him. Thanks for understanding. Coop
