Funny how much work my dad did with no work bench or clamps. "Son just hold this board right here while I cut. Don't let it move..... G*damnit I told you to hold it still."

Don't let it move..... G*damnit I told you to hold it still." So true. I remember my dad saying Tom, hold this while I cut this. Here I am 8 years old holding down 2x4s and stuff so he can cut, drill, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vyrolan Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Children have to be the only thing that the Roubo could be compared to and be the cheaper option... I mean the BC hardware is nothing compared to a child or two. =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 I'm an idiot. I referenced off the top instead of the bottom for lining up dominoes for the left side so I had to glue dominoes in and flush cut em on one side. I'll plunge new mortises later. Love that about the domino. Yay for self squaring joinery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Plowed some new mortises on the left panel. Next up floor cleats, then cut the floor of the cabinet. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Back on track. Got cleats done for the floor. If you're wondering, the reason I'm using cleats is because the transfers the weight of the cabinet floor to the floor of the installed location reducing stress on the sides.

Tom Cancelleri Posted September 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Tom wondering why the grain runs differently on the panels? Maybe the back that no one will see?Mike, The outside of the vanity will not be seen as it will be installed between 2 walls. The inside will be the only visible part, it will be covered by doors on the left and on the right. There is going to be a bank of drawers in the center. Being that the vanity is 77" wide, using the construction method I wanted to use meant 77" long piece of ply. Sadly they don't have it with the direction running the other way. It will never be seen unless you're really inspecting the piece. I could have split it to have multiple pieces, but that adds complexity and time. Both unnecessary. Besides, when I finish this, I can go back to working on things built with real wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Prefinishing panels before assembly. ARS for the win. I will say it again. No more plywood projects ever again. Small ply panels are ok if you're cutting channels or rabbets to hold them. No giant cases anymore.

No more plywood cases, or cabinets this large. It's such a pain to move around, plywood is cumbersome and unwieldy to work with. Joinery is no fun with ply, worrying about sanding through our chipping the very thin veneer. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estesbubba Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Rift sawn walnut definitely has a much different look than plain sawn. Funny how rift sawn makes red oak look better and walnut not as interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2015 Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Rift sawn walnut definitely has a much different look than plain sawn. Funny how rift sawn makes red oak look better and walnut not as interesting. Actually i really like rift sawn walnut - but my taste is more modern. I prefer straight grain in all species.

Tom Cancelleri Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Another coat, this ply is just sucking in the finish. Never seen that happen on the second coat of ARS. This sheet had some interesting issues with the walnut layer. It was rather rough, and even after some sanding with 320 grit it was still rough. Not wanting to go through the veneer, I decided I would just smooth the finish. After the first coat dried I lightly sanded with some 400 grit and it was nice and smooth. Might need 4 coats of ARS for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
