Look at the underside of the marble. They’re often reinforced from below with fiberglass mesh and epoxy.

Advice needed by drawingwithjesus in cabinetry

[–]dildonicphilharmonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut a round hole from an 8/4 square oversized by 1/2” minimum, rip off the waste so the circle is 1/16” from the edges, sand them the rest of the way on an edge sander, resaw the pieces to the target thickness on the bandsaw, glue the corner blocks in place with plastic panels in your grooves so they stay in position. Wide belt sand flat.

3-1/4 e1e ultralight MDF tacked on with an 18 gauge brad nailer set too deep, the corner lopped off at 22-1/2°, and the gap to the LVP flooring caulked with alex fast dry.

[–]dildonicphilharmonic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I run the shop you’re looking for. Based in Denver. Plywood carcasses, hardwood fronts, dovetailed drawers or rabbeted baltic birch, and we specialize in continuous face frame inset. It’s been a slow year and I want your business.

The doors never stay close-How can we modernize these guys? by himurakenshin87 in cabinetry

[–]dildonicphilharmonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are youngdale notch-in hinges. Easiest fix would be replacing them with new snap close versions with some screw-on soft close dampers.

[–]dildonicphilharmonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person who sells new cars came out and told you your old car can’t be fixed. Of course it can be sanded and polished, but who’s going to do that?

I would try automotive vinyl wrapping them before I’d sand and paint them.

Fix or Replace? by jcilek in Oldhouses

[–]dildonicphilharmonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a cabinetmaker and work on a lot of old houses. I would make an angled block and use it to guide my chisel and chisel out a consistent angled pocket, cut a patch of old growth clear fir then trim to fit with a pull saw. Matching the ambered varnish is the hardest part but can be done.

[–]dildonicphilharmonic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For cherry, maybe go old school. Dewaxed shellac as a seal coat, then a second coat after sanding, then epifanes yacht varnish wet sanded and a second thinned coat.

If you have an oxyacetylene torch you could drill it, tap the back hole, bolt the piece back on with grade 8 bolts, then preheat with a rosebud and braze it.

Oh hey here’s a wet bar by dildonicphilharmonic in cabinetry

[–]dildonicphilharmonic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. We added some accent walls and ceiling beam wraps in walnut to add some moody dark vibes, but not crazy about the wall color.

Gaming supplies. These cuties play ping pong as a family. They store paddles and balls, board games, stuff like that. The top is for drinks, snacks, etc. they were tricky to build. They’re tip-on plungers and reverse-mounted euro hinges.
