Tom Cancelleri Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 You building a vanity or a shed? That thing looks like a beast to wrestle around. Looking good though! It's a bear to move around the shop. Right now it's on to of the Roubo, it's practically the same size.

Tom Cancelleri Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 BFB update... Toekick installed, got a nice ply splinter in my finger. This helped straighten out the floor, it's just about square now. Once the drawer box is built and installed everything should square up nicely.

Why did you install the toe kick before installing the vanity? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 What is BFB? Why did you install the toe kick before installing the vanity? Because it supports the floor in the front, and I needed the extra support to pull the bow out of the floor before I install the drawer box. The floor it is being installed on is nice and flat, and level. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Go home clamps you're drunk! Don't mind all the wet, that's the glue squeeze out. It's inside the drawer bank and will never be seen if there is glue in the pores. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Impostor clamps in orange in your midst!I have 2 40" original besseys and 2 24" Jorgies. I do like the Jorgies, and I just can't see getting rid of them to replace them with the same clamps. I do like the Jet clamps the best though.

shaneymack Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 All that wet is glue? Did you apply the glue with an hvlp?? Or is it that you hate this vanity so much you are drinking yourself silly everynight and that wet spot is a glass of JD you spilled? Be open with us Tom, we are here to help.

Tom Cancelleri Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 Your still working on the case? Figured you would be knee deep into the doors by now<grin> Spent 2 weeks pre finishing the visible panels. First coat of ARS took 3 days to dry, being that i had so many panels i had to do it in 2 separate batches, essentially a week each. The non visible areas will get brushed with waterbourne poly once it's all assembled. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Drawer box installed. That was fun. Countersunk spax screws. Lots of odd clamping to get it all flush. <3 the Festool drills Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Cancelleri Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Case is complete! Sans some finish. With the audible needed for the drawer box, it really brought this big sob into square. Here's a view from the top, since it's laying on its back on the Roubo.

wdwerker Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Adding a 3 or 4" wide x 3/4 strip across the front and back of the sink openings will stiffen up the case. dominos, kregs whatever. When they install the sinks and top they can cut deeply into the strips without affecting the strength.Fairly big triangles in all 8 corners will work too. Installing a frameless cabinet it needs to be plumb and level to.keep it square. Shimming if the wall is out can put stress on the squareness of the openings. Strips or corner triangles stiffen the large openings in the top. Quick and plenty of glue will do the trick.Scrap ply or solid wood, even softwood will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Thanks for confirming that for me Steve, I was thinking about doing 1 in the front and 1 in the back. I do not like frameless cabinets at all, face frames for me from now on. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Frameless does have a learning curve, but after 20 years or so its second nature to me. It's actually easier with melamine , particle board etc than ply. But that stuff doesn't last anywhere near water and just doesn't stand the test of time .

But that stuff doesn't last anywhere near water and just doesn't stand the test of time .Those pieces in the front are not yet attached. Before I attached them I actually wanted to make the front pieces into L shapes for added strength. After talking with the person who would be installing it yesterday he said "Leave the top open for the sinks, no need for any pieces on the top, when I mentioned what I had left to do on the case.

wdwerker Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Make the "L " shape first is a good idea. Add,the strip in the back too. Tell him to cut out wherever he needs to ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
