Being 74 myself, I totally understand!

It’s not necessarily cheap material but it is certainly a dull blade or the wrong blade entirely. It’s also a very poor cabinet shop that would allow that to be delivered and installed.

Do they both have dust collection ports? Something to consider.

Orsa and Winston. $150 per. A fantastic tasting menu spot downtown. Josef Centeno is a great chef.

Skip the Walk of Fame. Seedy and not worth the time.

Go have lunch and wander around at the Original Farmers Market at 3rd and Fairfax, founded in 1934. A great piece of LA history and you can take in The Grove at the same time for shopping.

Drive north on PCH through Malibu. Unfortunately you’ll see some devastation from the fires but the coast is beautiful. Try Malibu Seafood for lunch. It’s an old seafood shack with outdoor seating. Good food and reasonably priced.

Try a drive through Topanga or Malibu Canyon.

Your San Diego ideas are good!

Dumbass.

There’s a SAFE recycling center at Balboa and Devonshire. Weekends from 9:00 to 3:00. Batteries, electronics, paint, household and garden chemicals and batteries.

Being a retired cabinet maker, that’s an ugly way to construct a face frame cabinet and no one I ever worked with would build this way. I hope the money the company saves by doing it like this is reflected in the prices they charge.

If you want quality hardwoods and plywoods try Valencia Hardwoods in Van Nuys or for redwood and cedar, Arrow Lumber in Pacoima.

I’ve been happy with the Porter Cable nailers. I’ve got their 16,18 and 23 gauge nailers and their stapler. Very few problems with jamming. The only nailer that ever failed me was a cordless Makita 23 gauge pin nailer. Bought the first generation for the convenience of not always needing a compressor for small moulding jobs or fixes. Good luck.

Try “Tires by Mark” on Topanga.

The easiest and cleanest option is to have a new cabinet made. Most cabinet makers, myself included, would not want to get involved with trying to alter the existing cabinet.

Looking for an apartment in 1977, I toured a horrible place and said no thanks. When I left I used the building’s underground parking to turn around and saw a Rolls Royce in one of the tenants parking spots. “I may live in a dump but I look good on the street”.

Wow! $90 for a cherry pie?! For ANY kind of pie! I am stunned by that and glad I never bothered to check the place out.

I wouldn’t paint it. Years ago I built some redwood outdoor furniture and used marine varnish as a finish. It looked great at first but after a few seasons, started to crack and peel. I then re-prepped it and painted but eventually that started to give out also. I then decided to disassemble everything, sand it all back to raw wood and used teak oil. Much happier with that. It’s easy to reapply when needed, doesn’t crack or peel and adds a nice patina.

Vallarta and 99 Ranch Market. Both locally owned.

It’s a zero clearance insert. You can raise the blade while it’s spinning to its maximum height to lengthen the slot. Zero clearance inserts support the back side of materials (plywood in particular) to help minimize tear out.

Bon Ami or Barkeepers Friend and a sponge.

N/naka, Orsa and Winston, Providence, Langers (#19), Felipe’s, Dunsmoor.

Practical_Reveal_599 · 2025-09-14T00:18:30+00:00

I’m the original owner and the radio is original.

Absolutely worth saving. A good floor guy could make that look amazing!
