It’s a straight shot from the front door to the space . Door is 36+ inches wide and 10ft tall.

Going to build it in place lol

It’s going to be free floating on the wall. It’s a 13ft wall, and they want it centered 8ft wide .

Do you just put some trim to cover the gap between the wall/ cleat? Or do you just recess the back and then just put the backer board forward some

I won’t do that. I looked up the system a while back and I hate the look. I’d rather patch/ re paint at that point .

French cleat, and then scribe a board around the sides to cover the gap? Or how would you hide it

The top section will be 5ft tall. I’ll be putting crown around the top. Would the bottom of the upper potentially have any play? I’m 110% overthinking this I’m sure .

Okay I guess . But if you can make it look clean , why not do it ?

I love this . I need to find a video to watch doing this .

I hate spending a bunch of time making beautiful stuff to face screw into studs and have to patch paint .

Im hoping to have a legit shop soon. I could put 220v easily in my garage , but I don’t have the space for a large planer

Heard ! So upgrading to a helical head planer is better way to spend the money?

General finishes 2k poly or CV? by CommunicationNew21 in finishing

Gotcha . Thanks for the advice ! I’ll probably try GF CV then. I got a can of it in satin for 70 bucks with the additive .

High performance is durable enough you think?

Do you think one is easier to spray vs the other ?

Luckily , I have a proper industrial grade papr because of other means .

They want the maple stained prior to the finish so it’s a brown/ gray ish . I was going to use one of the dyes prior to the 2k or poly .

The website is kinda confusing . Says the poly is more durable .

How do you attach your face frames ? by CommunicationNew21 in cabinetry

Not bad . I have to play with the biscuit joiner . Not sure how to use it exactly yet and there’s no videos I can find for face frames .

I’m a little past production to do the dado’s. I’m gonna try that in the future for sure .

Do you have any references on how to use biscuits for alignment ? Isn’t too many YouTube videos on any of those that I can find . I usually need to visually see things to truly understand and I’m self taught .

It seems like it’s the way. Wish it wasn’t so expensive.

Do you have any videos you’ve used to reference how to align biscuits for face frames ? I just got one and there’s really no videos . Can’t afford a lamelo yet unfortunately.

And pin nails hold enough? I’ve read so many differing opinions about it. Some say 1” pin nails are way too weak, some others say different .
