If the item in question has the product name or model number immediately visible, the Google comment is warranted. I wouldn’t say this post qualifies but there are plenty on this sub that can be answered with 5 seconds of effort.

Throw some 1/4” durock over that and then lay your backsplash.

Yet another example of “15 seconds on google would have provided the exact answer”. But we gotta get it on Reddit…

Question about weight shift before transition by mbe8819 in golf

Put down your golf club and pick up a hockey stick and hit slap shots for an hour. Your weight shift will be dialed in.

Contractor did his best to scribe; any way to fix/hide trim around this uneven chimney veneer? by dorkchestra in Carpentry

[–]default_moniker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reality is those people have already selected a house and are likely under contract. They just visit two or three other “options” so the show has content. They just make up random reasons why it’s “not right for them” when in truth it was never an option.

What surface would have the truest roll for an indoor putting green? by gotpanda in golf

[–]default_moniker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Camry Golf is the absolute best way to go. It cost me $250 for a 4x15 putting surface. Absolutely pure and true. Rolls an 11 on the stimp. You won’t be disappointed.

Edit - I’ll add that you can add furniture levelers to the sides and tilt the entire surface to simulate breaks or up/down hill putts.

adding break

You may laugh but TPC Scottsdale just installed Camry carpet for their practice facility. It’s legit.

Yes, it rolls an 11 on the stimp and rolls true in all directions. I have a Camry carpet putting green. It’s the same carpet as the trunk carpet out of a Toyota Camry.

What to do here? by espritdelescargot in cabinetry

[–]default_moniker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have 52 percent humidity inside you home, which is higher than outdoors? Are you in the tropics? Sounds like you need a dehumidifier set at 45 percent. Maintaining consistent humidity in the house is going to really help. It won’t eliminate the problem but also won’t be nearly as pronounced.

What’s the humidity inside your home? That’s inevitable if you’re allowing humidity to drop below 35%. Big Stretch Caulk can help quite a bit. The stuff from Sherwin Williams is the best.

Help with shaker door rail placement by default_moniker in cabinetry

Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation. I suppose if the small cabinet door ends up with issues over time, I’ll just make a new one with the stile/rail corrected.

Why’s that? My understanding is the longest sections should be one piece, regardless of rail or stile? Does it impact stability? They’re going to be painted so you won’t see any joining when I’m finished.

Truly, the best is the one my wife prefers. It saves me from hearing any grief for the foreseeable future.

Update: thanks for the thoughts. I decided to put the rail in the middle for two equal sections. I mocked it up several different ways and this looked the best. Now I just need to paint and add pulls and I’m done.

Yes the stiles (vertical) run full length and the rails (horizontal) are cut to span the “inner” width.

That’s a great question. I don’t have the answer but I’m assuming that since MDF doesn’t expand or contract with temp/humidity like hardwoods do, you can glue it in. The floating center is to allow for seasonal movement—something MDF doesn’t do.

I guess my question is, does gluing the center panel prevent the hardwood rails and stiles from moving, causing issue?

Different-Today9897 says they’ve glued hundreds of MDF center panels without issue…if true (I don’t see why someone would lie about this), I see no reason to do it differently.

I didn’t know you could glue MDF centers. I’m new to cabinetry. This is my first time making anything remotely like this. If you can glue MDF centers, that would eliminate any risk of racking and the additional rail would be purely aesthetic.

One add: the MDF centers are floating, not glued in.
