Brilliant!!! Way cheaper than vacuuming too(gonna tear up all my carpet eventually landlord be damned, this fucking oreck xl uses 1500w)I've been procrastinating but I got off my ass and cleaned my grow rooms floors !
Beautiful work, you're a true artist. Wish I could do that . My wood working sucks !Back in the shop today working on face frames and cabinet doors, really nailed these mitres. With a sharp hand plane and the help of a jig the cuts can be shaved to fit perfectly. My client wants the drawers to match, which isnt really going to work. You never tell them that of course. You just say, "sure, no problem". Even though it's a problem. I will have to come up with something, just not sure what.

Looking good bro. Have you thought about just ordering the doors? Fast Doors makes good ones.Back in the shop today working on face frames and cabinet doors, really nailed these mitres.

Thank you. Yes, I made the shooting board a few weeks back for the first set of doors.Those mitres are really nice. Is that some sort of home made shooting board? Nice work.
Thanks. That is a world war two era #5 Stanley plane. It belonged to my friend's grand father. War era planes are easily identified because there are no brass parts or rose wood handles. They used a domestic hard wood instead. I would love to see pics of you grandfather's planes if you ever get the chance.Beautiful work, you're a true artist. Wish I could do that .

There's something about wood that I love , it's intangible. It's a vibe of sorts. By the way, love your plane......the wooden handles/design , reminds me of some my grandfather gave me....very old.
I dont mind making them, and it is good practice, which I need right now. I haven't turned anything on a lathe in over year. I'm a little worried what that will be like....catch, grab, twist, yank, toss, bang, ouch!Looking good bro. Have you thought about just ordering the doors? Fast Doors makes good ones.
That’s what my buddies shop did and what i’d say 95% of cabinet makers do nowadays. Saves allot of time.
Just have the client look through the door company’s catalog and choose.
I had a local company do the island. He gave me a tour of the facility. Cnc machines, everything was crazy new tech. Orders doors.
Yeah it’s been since like 1989 on a wood lathe, junior year highschool woodshop class lmao.I dont mind making them, and it is good practice, which I need right now.

Cool man. You’ve inspired me to make a board. If the weather lets up I’m going out to the shop and get it done today…..but it’s not looking good for right now.Thank you. Yes, I made the shooting board a few weeks back for the first set of doors.

This is coming from a guy who hates wood. Actually framing with wood but still. I betcha bisquits woulda helped with that. I bought this stupid thing, had one before, just for the mantel. I should return it now lol.View attachment 5160806
Here’s a pic of my cock. And also the frame I made last week. I harvested the tree , milled the lumber and processed it in my shop. After curing it for several years the moisture content was around 15% . I had the joints nice and tight but after assembly and being brought into the house with the a/c the damn thing opened up.View attachment 5160839View attachment 5160842
I used a glue spline for lock on corner.
You have storage in the island also?I guess it’s finally polyurethane time. Gonna wait a couple days to grout. I’m burnt out playing with the mud and don’t feel like making love to every square inch right now. But i’ll probably start cleaning up the joints today
Will be nice to pin this fucker up there so i can finally get the kick ass stove up in there

Why yes i do. A little.You have storage in the island also?
I have a biscuit jointer and didn’t even think about it. But I actually wanted to do the espoused spline joint. However I think having a biscuit more centered on joint would have probably preformed better.This is coming from a guy who hates wood. Actually framing with wood but still.
