    if at all possible you also want support on both or neither sides of a HCM bit,  that would be tough to do after the first plunge with a nut shape

    I agree, I just don’t know why this pops into my head every time I see it done.  I totally own the strange inter workings of my brain!

  2. So watched the video, vise came out great.  Every time I see someone chisel out a nut, I always have the same question pop in my head.  Would it be possible to use a HCM instead of a chisel.  I have no idea why this question enters my brain, I’m strange I know.

    Bryan, go back to the pic I posted 17 hours ago. That pic shows the upper cab and leaning against and in front of it is the dry fitted legs and rails ( no stiles) of the bottom section, and the panel is not in this yet so you can see thru it and see the stiles of the upper. So so far, there are no planed stiles in the lower section. 

    Coop. I looked at that photo several times before my first response, it is hard to tell exactly what the width difference is between upper case stile and legs without the panel.  From the angle of the photo it looked like both assemblies were the same size, which is why I asked if the top was narrower than the bottom.  You answered top is 1” difference.  So if you add the stiles to the bottom assembly, how wide will they be?  Are you going to have them flush with the legs or thinner so to create a reveal for lack of better term?  If flush that led to my comment about legs being chunky.

  4. Is the base wider than the top?  If it is, I would center the top on the bottom and not add any stiles.  I would think that may look strange.  If they are the same, then adding the stile should work, but you may have a new issue that if the stiles make the leg look really chunky, may through off the design/result you want.

  5. Coop, it looks like the top section is a lot taller in your drawing than the photo.  I think 2 panels would be fine but to me the smaller panel on top would be my choice.  Wife wins, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

  6. Coop, I’m not following the 1 drawer thing.  I get your making it basically the width of the case, but if your going super deep, I think that is a mistake from a function standpoint.  If you made exactly like above, I would do 2 full width drawers, for the top portion, I would keep as 1 raised panel per door, I think 2 would look strange with the wide drawers.

    Copy and pasted to my notes as well!  Although being water based, it is pretty simple....lol

    I get it’s simple, but someone new watches this, then you have just proven to be a subject expert

  8. I know this is going to sound very simple, but may be useful and really haven’t seen these 3 covered often, not just you, but other content creators.  1) Do you and how you strain or thin your finish. 2)How do you store excess between coats if you have extra in the pot. 3) Cleaning at the end.  This may add too much time or work, but it really seems you are shooting for an extremely comprehensive series with these.

  9. Coop the five cut method isn’t that difficult, when I built my sled, I raised the blade, put the Woodpeckers square against the blade, then put the fence on.  That was probably accurate enough but then did 5 cut, made adjustments with feeler gauge and did again.  Whole process probably took 10-15 minutes.

    I wish I would have made my 45 cut like Kev, maybe I can fix.
