Kev Posted May 15, 2023 Author Share Posted May 15, 2023 2 hours ago, Coop said: Kev, what is the purpose of the fourth vertical piece from the left, including the side and why is it 1” shy of the piece to the left of it? That's the pull out for the F-Clamps just set in the case. We finished the edge banding and case assembly today! Also test fit the hose real and drilled the hole for the air hose. Pretty happy so far but, not looking forward to picking this one up to get it off of the bench! @Coop, I left that pull out set in there again. I might get that mounted tomorrow. Our company is leaving tomorrow and heading for home in Louisiana so, I should be able to get after this one! I'll probably work on the systainer bay next. I need to create the walnut fronts to match the other cabinets and get the trays installed. From there, I'll probably install the hose reel, install the vertical pull out, and get going on the drawers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 Still a lot on my "honeydo" list since getting home but, I did find some shop time today.. Got the systainer trays installed with their fronts.. Not a lot of work but, at least it was progress.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Where will the compressor that feeds the reel live? Sorry if you’ve already mentioned it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will live on the left side of the cabinet near the 14" bandsaw. I wanted the ability to move it incase I needed it in the garage or something like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Worked on the clamp pull out today.. Works really well! I used 4 slides just because of the weight. If there's going to be a weak point, it will be the handle that I added to pull it out. It's set into the panel with epoxy so, we'll see how it holds up. I also realized a little more real-estate in this bay that I can use but, more on that tomorrow.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 Knocking off a little early today and just enjoying some down time.. I did get quite a bit done though! First drawer is in Woodpeckers Square Clamps installed Bandy Clamps installed Several drawers in my near future! Who's gonna come help me lift this thing off of the bench? 😅 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwacked Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 dang, this is looking good! What hose reel is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was something donated to my shop by my dad before he passed. We never really discussed where it came from but, judging by the color, I think it's a good guess.. Also, we had a local Grizzly store when I was in WA so, didn't have to order their stuff on line. I do know it's heavy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 A little later night tonight! My son will be here tomorrow afternoon and I will need his help to get this thing to the floor! So, I stayed at it a bit and got all the drawers made/installed and a coat of ARS on it Still a lot to do! Install the hose reel Build the base Install the hardboard top Install the power units Secure it in its final home Organize the drawers And, of course, all that has to be video'd 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 All finished up except drawer organization now! Oh, I also have to add the bolts to the hose reel but, that requires a trip to the big box store.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 What are the four wood 2x2 (?) strips, just to left of the dc drop? Cauls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 Getting this one finished up today! I only did some organization in one drawer. Going to live with this for a few projects and see how it works in to figure out what I want where. Now I'm just finishing up the video editing and creating the thumbnail for the video.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 That’s a bunch of space to reach over to access the clamps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 12 minutes ago, Coop said: That’s a bunch of space to reach over to access the clamps! Nope.. Clamps are super easy to get even the shortest ones. Now, adding 8" to the Roubo is a little different because items are higher but, with the bars on the clamps being lower, it's just not an issue here.

Kev Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 @Coop I went out and fired up the video so I could grab this still for you.. No lighting or anything but, as you can see, the shortest clamps are an easy reach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwacked Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Kev when does the professional model gig kick off? I was curious how easy it would be to reach over as well, but it didnt look too deep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only modeling this guy will be doing is modeling the next project 🤣 Yea, I definitely tested it before going ahead with the project.

Coop Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Kev, is that banded ply below the hardboard top? Did you glue and screw the hardboard or just screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, just edge banded plywood since it's shop furniture. Just screws on the hardboard so that it's replaceable if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Hey bud, very well done. I have to admit that I almost didn’t watch the video as I had followed the thread. I’m glad now that I did as I picked up some neat stuff that I didn’t previously. Well worth the time to purse both. I have no intention of building something like but found items that will help on future projects. This was a very well thought out project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
