Yep, it will all be here for you to see as well as on video later this year.. In the end, it's shop furniture so, this is the place to experiment with stuff like this.

Coop Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I agree. If I’m going to try something new, it’s usually on shop stuff. Wish I had made some raised panel, inset doors for the shop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Just finished the edit to the current stage and there's just no way this will fit in one video! I've got a mitered box prepped for a sliding DT and I'm at 11 minutes of finished video...lol.. I'll probably do the through dominos and then finish the cabinet in the second video.. Still lots to do! Install the slides, build and install the pull out, build the door, build all the mounting blocks, organization, finish (new finish for me!), and install it..

Kev Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Here's the exposed dominos that I just finished up this morning.. I'll flush trim and sand when the glue is cured up a bit.. For the record, these can be a PITA to make when you're using them for exposed joinery! Took me longer to make the stock than it did to cut/install them..lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 20, 2021 Author Share Posted June 20, 2021 Flush trimmed and lightly sanded.. Mineral Spirits to mimic finish.. Still more sanding to do.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to make some changes to my router table (primarily replace the top and lift) but think I will add the inserts for the bits getting them out of the plywood has always been a bit of a pain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 I don't often "prototype" things but, I thought that was the best option for the pull out on this cabinet.. I actually mocked up several different things today and I think I've landed on this. Now, this is complete junk and will be scrapped for a much cleaner build but, I think I have a much better handle on where things need to be. The only part of this that I may keep is the block for the inserts.. Seems the scrap I had was in African Mahogany so, it fits.. I'll do some clean up on it though.. The "paddle shelf" will also be cleaned up a great deal...lol Edit: I'm certainly open to other suggestions! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Marc just did a short “what is this” video on some unusual tools in his shop. What is the black handle looking thing next to your router table inserts. If I didn’t know they were inserts, I’d say it was a tool to sling skeet targets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I need to get some good quality, 12-16” parallel clamps. My son gave me a hefty Rockler gift card for father’s day so those are my next purchase! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 4 of the Jorgensen that I will never buy again and use as last resort, a dozen or so of the Jet which I really like and have never purchased or used the Bessey for no reason. I really like the release lever on the Jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shows it in his lounge chair guild build. It is in the sixth video about 25:30 in. It looks a little fussy the first time you see it but once you try it, it is actually a pretty quick operation.

I know I've seen that video but, I just didn't remember that being in there.. I may have to revisit that video.. The way I did it worked fairly well. Just took a bit of time to get things dialed in.. Edit: @Chet I went and had a look and that's pretty much what I did to create the stock. The difference is that what I did is exposed so, there's less room for error..

Kev Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 So I've had a setback but, was sitting on it hoping it would self correct today...lol Seems UPS has misplaced the glides! They were due in yesterday and the tracking now shows their apology and the hope they will be here tomorrow. In the mean time, I ordered more glides and built another floating picture frame for a family member. The frame isn't done yet but, it's getting close.. I'll post the "time filler" project here when it's done.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Pretty bummed! Still no glides even though Amazon said they'd be delivered today.. I took a deeper dive into the tracking to see that they just left Utah this morning. Looks like this project is on hold for a few more days.

Amazon wouldn't expedite a new order which I found pretty pathetic since this was no fault of mine. I've ordered 2 more sets from different vendors and will finish up the build when the first set arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share Posted June 23, 2021 Which brings up my next question for the group.... I'm going with a different finish on this one.. Choices are Osmo or Rubio... Any input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
