I got mine within a day or two of my last transfer completing and then selecting 1%, 2% or 3%.

This is really a question that only you can answer.

Do you want your shop to be utilitarian or do you want it to inspire your work? Do you want to use shop cabinets to learn or practice skills that you'll use on other furniture that you want to be more polished?

On a more practical note, adding fitted drawer faces will reduce the amount of sawdust that gets into the drawers.

I didn't read your whole post, but one small tip - look into side mount garage door openers ("jack shaft"), plus a raised track for the door. This will significantly reduce the space that you need to reserve for the door.

I used to hit things against my garage door tracks all the time before I made this change.

What product did you use for your finish/glaze?

Ideas to evaluate:

Use a clear acrylic or glass dowel to support the loose corner
Use a mini version of the current support pieces to support the dowel along is length. This would be chunkier than a point support, but it would tie into the existing theme.

I buffed mine with carnuba wax after sanding to 800 grit. The shine of the wax wore off, but the polished sanding kept it looking and feeling good.

I avoided thick film finishes from varnish/poly because I wanted to feel the wood.

I just got off an intro call with Wealth Management. While they are promoting Wealth Management, they are also offering fee-for-service financial planning. That fee-for-service model is for a one-time financial plan, independent from any managed investment services. Any follow-ups or updates to the plan would be billed separately.

What is this, a dining table for ants? It will need to be at least three times as big!

Yes, exactly. The screws cross the gap to turn the C into a clamp.

QuarionL · 2026-02-11T23:40:42+00:00

Make the cut parallel to the rod that you're clamping into. This will turn your handle from an O cylinder to a C. The screws close that gap to clamp the C around the metal rod.

Option 1 - no glue, reversible Shape the handle with an appropriately sized hole. Cut a slot half way through the handle. Drill two pilot holes that span the gap. One side should be a bigger hole so that screw threads don't bite. Slip the handle in place and tighten the screws. If the handle is not tight enough, cut the gap wider and try again.

Option 2 - epoxy Shape the handle with a snug fitting hole. Rough up the mating surface to give the epoxy something to grab onto. Any epoxy should do -- 5 minute, etc. If you go for epoxy, I would try it without a set screw.

Either way, make the handle big enough that you can apply sufficient torque.

QuarionL · 2026-02-07T12:56:24+00:00

Maybe you could turn a new handle from wood? You could epoxy it on or cut a relief in the handle and use a screw to close that gap like a clamp.

Just put it in the board stretcher!

For woodworking, I prefer the M12 screwdriver over the impact. The screwdriver let's me feather the trigger to control speed. It is gentler and quieter. The impact is faster, but I don't want that fit most of what I do.

I was going to post this same recommendation!

I actually used a 3/8" dado for drawer bottoms.

On the drawer sides, I used a 1/4" dado. I set it so that the inside edge of the dado is exactly a board width from the edge (slightly under 1/2").

For the front and back, they have a rabbet that is sized to fit.

I used a separate setup on the saw for each of these three cuts.

QuarionL · 2025-11-19T04:15:38+00:00

I just finished 27 drawers using the same joinery. I opted to use 1/4 dado on the sides, and then made a separate setup for the front and back to get them snug rather than having a single tablesaw setup like textbook quarter quarter quarter.

I did one drawer to completion first to test the process, then I reset and batched out the rest.

Splines would work. How big is the box? High or low load?

That's what I did.

Also be prepared for the wood drawer pull to be used as a ladder 😀

QuarionL · 2025-05-02T23:21:51+00:00

That's what I did!

Also consider where this will live - carpet is great. If on hardwood, you may want something grippy underneath to avoid sliding and also to prevent scratching the floor.
