      Advice for equipment needed to make kitchen cabinet doors

      By Greg81 · Posted

      I plan to make kitchen cabinet doors and the widest width wood I'll be working with is 14 inches. So far I've determined that I'll need a jointer, a planer, a table saw and a drill press. Am I missing anything? Also, can any recommend a planer and a jointer? I'll be making a low volume of doors per year. Thank you

      Is this fair

      I really liked these cheap pumps that Tractor Supply sells, but the reason I stopped using them was that no parts were available.  I never even looked at what the warranty was.  They were something like two for $26.   The reason I went to the Smith pumps was that I thought it was a family business.  I think I had even read that somewhere, but also parts were available on Amazon.  I just checked and a replacement pump is available there for 20 bucks.  I think I did have a pump fail with one of the cheap ones, but I think I used that exterior cleaner you see in the gallon container down on the right-don't ever buy any of that for anything. None of them really have many parts, so it shouldn't be a big deal for the company to keep some available.  Certainly if they are for sale on Amazon, replacement parts are available. I did always have trouble with some of those cheap ones because I think the seals and O-rings on those are not made from better quality materials like EPDM, Buna, Viton, and maybe other choices.  I was able to keep the cheap ones going sometimes with my box of Buna replacement O-rings. I don't have as many sprayers as these now because I've narrowed down the number of things I use for different things.  I certainly couldn't afford to have half this many B & G's.  I would expect great service from B&G, but you're probably buying that to start with.  I do have one here that belonged to my Dad, but I never use it for anything.  https://www.amazon.com/Professional-Pest-Control-Sprayer-gal/dp/B004GGNL82/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2JQ993HD1YM8X&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.b6L4E-0PIpEHg1go3Ku2EVeLpMGvFl76D6lmaEfNEnNvzmNMb5jaKNDEQV_ylmdRtFqZeHh2Jkklz9nCbVgOZZn-djXId0oI-ct7JOw59lFQQ0D4eepim5Ydo68z5ju3fQ8AaI8eckW2vqSmhejTLewN-NKGZbkUHiZXk0iiwBT_abiCzkfpb2t1biQEpV8qGyPgIoTtchlyZLX-_qjCzbfA_FbmR5GgWFh2W1-XRPIlq-ZNS2dO0V0ru8zgeH7BcwZyp9tjFxxOoV3tvSMgcMCw3TnPx7nzc-glY7HB0wI.te5cdppZBYpQJ-R2XetqTR27DNkfKO9TnyUcmkg-adk&dib_tag=se&keywords=b%26g+sprayer+1+gallon&qid=1714049067&sprefix=B%26G%2Caps%2C96&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.c3015c4a-46bb-44b9-81a4-dc28e6d374b3 That rack that holds the wands up in the air does help to keep the tips clear.  I think they drain down some when I release the pressure in one when it goes back on the shelf.  On the other side of that shed is one of those cheap plastic utility sinks for servicing them.

      moving and need some guidance

      By Skillfusian · Posted

      Renting a Penske truck and loading/unloading yourself could be a cost-effective option, but the lack of a lift gate could make it challenging. If you're not comfortable with a forklift, it might be worth looking into other options.

      Many manufacturers do that, and for valid reasons.
