Well, I knew the glue-up didn't go smoothly, but I wasn't prepared for this. Somehow, the already-glued carcase was pulled out of square during my struggle to get the face frame pieces into place. I only noticed while I was measuring for the inset door frames. There is a strong 3/8" difference in the diagonals now, and no way is it going to rack back into shape. I'm considering my options for going forward. 1. Build the doors to fit the rhomboid openings. The scale of the case makes it all but impossible to see the corners aren't 90*. 2. Trim the face frame to produce a square opening for the doors. 3. Split the difference to avoid the frame pieces being too crooked at any one spot. 4. BBQ. Any suggestions from the collective? -
The PWs are great, and having several layers is super handy. -
Like the temporary puzzle table I made a while back. It’s wobbly but still being used frequently. By replace I meant more of that physical location. I’ll shuffle this around and use it until it falls apart. Might put it in the greenhouse at some point.

An update on my MDF "Moxen Block": I was curious to see how the dovetail slots in MDF handled pressure away from the the surface of the block, so I made what is basically a planing stop. I put a piece against it and planed away. It held up without any apparent problems. Right now I'm trying out leaving the block on one end of my bench to see what uses I find for it. -
Finished up the wings for the Kapex. Only thing worth mentioning is for the stop block, I wanted it not to spin so I could operate it one-handed. So I inserted a couple 3/8" dowels inline with the hold down. With a little sanding they fit snuggly into the dovetail slot and keep the block from spinning. (5/16" dowel might work without sanding but it felt like it might be a little loose.)
