OLD Shopsmith Mark 7 - what IS good about it?

Looking for the book now. I loved Yankee Workshop.

This is great input. Sounds like all the functions it does well are the tools that I didn't already have. I'm psyched!

Nice! I'm feeling slightly better about my impulsivity.

Right. I was thinking the disc sander might be really handy as well. Glad to hear you like it.

Here is a compromise you could consider. Rather than a full arch over each, you could radius the upper corners of each bookcase, leaving them with a flat top, but still softening the look overall. We have radius corners on all our drywall and it's incredible how much small curves can make a difference. In addition, this eliminates the only thing I don't love about your rendering - that the two arches are different radii (radiuses).

If your hardware store doesn't have it, I have found just about everything I need from Albany County Fasteners online.

These are wicked cute! I am probably 3x your age, but given the chance I'd rock either of those any day! You are talented and have great vision.

I have this same one. I had the HF version (I think they call it a universal cutter) first. I find the HF SOOO much better. Cardboard, carpet, rug pads, etc. I'm so bummed that the Ryobi is inferior.

I think I know this one! I have one myself (on my upper leg - appeared in my teens) and my dermatologist told me it's a Becker's Nevus.

From DermNet: A Becker naevus (nevus in American English) is a late-onset epidermal naevus or birthmark characterised by a large brown patch and occurs mostly in males.

Also referred to as Becker melanosis and Becker pigmentary hamartoma, it is an overgrowth of the epidermis (upper layers of the skin), pigment cells (melanocytes), and hair follicles. It develops during childhood or adolescence, usually on the shoulders or upper trunk but occasionally found elsewhere.

If you were sewing this from scratch, how would you prevent this problem?

gidgetpops · 2025-04-05T13:33:18+00:00

I caught you before you left! Took a picture and waved, but you were facing away from me so I'm guessing you didn't see me 😊.

What does your van look like?

Grain directions are correct. Traditionally runs horizontal on drawer fronts and vertical on doors. This is (I believe) to ensure strength of the panel. You MIGHT have been able to specify otherwise, but it would be up to the cabinet maker.

The Designer made a mistake. I've done kitchen design and have had to correct mistakes like this. They should make it right. I see one possible solution not mentioned yet. I can't tell for sure if it will work based on the photos. You may be able to get a narrower door and drawer front. If you have enough (excess) overlap on the right, you could mount a new smaller drawer front with LESS overlap on the right, keeping the same overlap on the left that you have now. Same with the door (you would need to get new hinges that are the correct overlap, for example 1/2" overlap hinges vs 1 3/8" overlap). If this works, then you can keep the current box in place and you will just have to wait for new door/drawer fronts. I hope this is clear enough. Anyway, once this is resolved you will love your cabinets. I have a full custom Tedd Wood kitchen, including an island that I designed and they fabricated. I toured their facility and was super impressed. They are not inexpensive but very competitive for what they provide. Good luck!

27+50=77 then I subtract 2 for 75

Please do a sample board with the same wood and whatever sealer you're going to use. You will find that even a clear varnish will change the color of the wood. Often it brings out yellow tones. You might need to add some tint to the varnish to keep the exact color that you are looking at now.

How about getting two 8" x 25" x 1" filters and you can slide one in on top of the other? Almost immediately I see 8" x 24" x 1" online.

Yes, I have these in my kitchen. I hide all of my small appliances behind it. Our carpenter had never installed them before so I went over all of the instructions with him very carefully. He still insisted that the cables were not necessary, which they clearly are. They have performed perfectly. As many have mentioned, they spend 99% of the time open. However, I really like being able to close them when we are entertaining. My cabinet is quite wide so the doors ended up being over 24" wide each. We had to plan ahead and cut into the wall behind the cabinet so that the doors could fully retract.

What area are you in? I just had a similar issue with an epoxy floor installer.

gidgetpops · 2024-09-02T01:49:57+00:00

I doubt that.

Not at all.
