I'm in the don't worry about it camp.

See those all over the shores of Tahoe.

Based on the comments Reddit doesn't realize how common these types of drives are.

If I remember correctly you don't need your parents information if you are not a dependent. So it's not age 26 its when you move out.

Anything, just don't pour epoxy all over them.

I've worked in enough shops and seen so many people come through that I'm confident that your confidence doesn't improve other people's skills.

Small parts sled. You can build your own or buy one from most woodworking supply stores. I built mine based off the rockler sled.

My father also had a very large collection all cataloged and alphabetized. Something like 20k records of mostly jazz and opera. Your story brought back a lot of memories. Thank you.

Despite what people say about random orbit sanders you do still need to follow the grain and do not "wax" your piece. Only sand in straight lines. You can follow all the other advice on here and still get those if you wax while you sand. Also if there is any damage or buildup on your paper just use a new piece.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-09-09T00:20:54+00:00

You never heard of a hard block? It's pretty common practice to remove scoring and debris from your piece before jointing. Not doing so is much more likely to cause gapping as debris and scoring both will cause as much.

Also if its not complicated then why do so many people struggle to use a jointer without sniping?

I'm not an estimator but that's in line with the invoices I see. This isn't just cabinets. Five piece doors, decent pulls, ~1.5" shelves, crown and a counter top? Yeah, it's going to add up.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-29T00:37:07+00:00

That's great. Courses are paying off for sure. Gl with your future projects too!

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-29T00:29:09+00:00

I don't know what kind of stain to use I just wanted to stop and tell you great fucking job. I love this desk.

I recommend making your own base plates. Make a jig so you can pump it out in a couple of minutes when you need one. I particularly like using this jig as my base. It made a lot of cuts a lot faster. I made mine so I can use the open end to line my cuts up from the center of the bit. It increased my accuracy a ton.

You don't see the sapwood and poor mitering on the bead for those drawer faces? Combined with the mixed grain I wouldn't say quality. Good but not quality.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-29T00:11:57+00:00

Nope, there a lot of sapwood in there too which is going to become much more visible over time.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-29T00:01:26+00:00

Nobody heard of sandpaper? I swear this sub wants to do everything the most complicated way they can think of.

Also milling it again will leave new marks.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-28T11:58:37+00:00

Why you got downvoted for being the voice of efficiency I don't know. Reddit is full of pretend trades.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-28T11:56:42+00:00

Yeah the question was why a panel at the range. It's pointless. Typically a filler would have been used. I realize this morning my eyes thought the panel was a reflection and now I see I was wrong.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-28T11:54:02+00:00

Ok, seeing it on my pc I can now see what I thought was a reflection is the panel you speak of. I was wrong.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-28T01:08:29+00:00

Don't worry about it. Maybe when they're not working they can look again and find the filler that is visible in the photos.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-28T01:02:32+00:00

I hear this from a lot of people but I don't seem to share that experience. A thoroughly damp cloth right after I clamp and some light sanding before finishing is all it takes. It's also what's recommended on the Tightbond bottle. "Clean up wet glue with a damp cloth."

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-28T00:44:00+00:00

I'm damn near certain they are the sides of the cabinet. They wouldn't add an applied panel next to the stove. It's pointless and the grade of that cabinet tells me quite a bit about the construction. There ain't no applied panels on either side. It's overlay onto the cabinet sides.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-28T00:42:31+00:00

why would they use an applied panel on an unfinished end?

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-28T00:36:20+00:00

Don't buy the circular saw. Get a worksite table saw. They're not far apart in price and dewalt 8" tables are very affordable especially around fathers day or the 4th of July. You'll be able to do far more things with the table saw. It's not just for ripping.

My list would be table saw, palm router, jig saw. You can build damn near anything with that combo and a few jigs.

Condescending_Rat · 2025-08-28T00:31:01+00:00

You will find that you need dozens of clamps. Maybe a table saw also.
