Popular Post BillyJack Posted August 17, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 I'm not sure where my daughter gets her woodworking itch from, but she is determined to be a Diyer. last house they remodeled it, including makong all the cabinets themselves, etc.. Now she just sold her bedroom set and wants to build new pieces. I give her credit,she does challenge herself.. so i guess she has two end tables and a dresser to make.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted August 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 This is another piece a Diyer has built that she wants to copy. If yo7 look close you can see issues. This would be a really good place for a Domino, but I have taught my daughter how to dowel, somI guess she will get some real experience on this one..

BillyJack Posted August 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2023 My daughter said the girl found maple 2x2’s. The only way ai think you would find 2x2 square maple balusters is if they were already milled for stair spindles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted August 22, 2023 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2023 Son in law brought the 2x2 maple over and ran 4 sides to make equal. I thought my daughter was coming, but didn’t. I went ahead and had a small discussion about my tools. I told him if I ge5 to tye point I can’t use them, he and my daughter could have them. There are a lot of multiple tools the6 could sell, but they would be good for DIY… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted September 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 When the son in law was using pocket screws, the pieces was he screwing together snapping screws. Guess he was using soft wood Kreg screws. It just takes a little something to turn a good day bad.. Told him I’d go 50/50 with him on a Domino.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BillyJack Posted September 9, 2023 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 9, 2023 Chad came over Wednesday to fit the panels. The openings were out of square but using the edge sander it's a back and forth to the sander custom fit. No Thursday because of Thursday night Chief's football.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyJack Posted September 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 I’m a bit disappointed. My daughter took the end tables home, yet didn’t make or install the drawers. That’s the hardest part because the full extension, full inset drawers. If she’s smart, she will load them up and bring them back to fit.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyJack Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 I turned up the heat yesterday while working on the night stands. Chad said he watched a YouTube video on the Festool Domino and thought it was pretty cool. So I upped the ante and sell my Dewalt 788 and stand, two Dewalt 625 routers and. Dewalt 708 sliding miter saw. He said he might have a shotgun he might be willing to part with. Negotiating 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
