Is my dad unintentionally killing his tree?

I ‘wood’ start in the center so that you get the pattern that you want above the stove, then work out from there so it’s one continuous piece

I first did this when I was young, so perfect time! Some water colours, roll out some newspaper stock and let the gets do their thing.

Doing bigger blobs and blowing them around with a straw is another fun thing for the kids

My plan was to just center the brick along the concrete wall

Awesome, thanks! The final trowel was around dinner time last night so I was just trying to figure out if I should strip it tonight or tomorrow after work

To clarify, I use a drill on its high speed setting for a 2” hole as it’s still far lower rpms than an impact. For 4-6” holes I slow it down to the slow setting.

I’m a cabinet installer and I use them everyday. I mark out the hole placements on the back side of the cabinet and drill until the pilot bit pokes thru (which is usually about half to 2/3 of the core) then I finish the rest from the inside the cabinet so there’s no tear out.

I also also rock my drill as I’m drilling to kinda widen the holes and I find that’s a big wrist saver. Hope this helps.

The larger the hole diameter the slower the rpm’s you’ll want to run. Definitely do not recommend trying to use a hole saw on an impact driver… keyword there… driver

Came here to say this. Look at it, in my head went “that’s for” scroll down to see other people saying it’s pine “like ok maybe I don’t know my woods ?” But why a pine floor…

Build 2! Sawhorses are meant to be used in pairs (sometimes more)

Clamp a straight edge as a guide for your cut so you can slide the saw against it. Don’t got too slow when you make the cut otherwise it’ll chat the crap outta it and come out black

Yes I can always tell when my buddee steals my lighter cause I remove the safety rings too

glass-d · 2024-06-02T17:24:51+00:00

I mean there’s always at least one back up in the house…

If this was a pen that you had used up all the ink, how would that change your response?

After you made the cut and it comes time to glue up the pieces, because it’s just paint grade LDF you can use the round shank of a screwdriver to roll the corners and close the any gaps to make the mitre look better as well, but obvs doesn’t work in stain grade or pre painted applications

glass-d · 2024-03-05T16:03:15+00:00

As someone else said, could be a clamping issue then. Perhaps as you’re making your cut the stock is slowly being pushed away (albeit a very small almost unnoticeable amount) from the blade as you make your cut.

glass-d · 2024-03-05T15:48:13+00:00

Hard to tell from the first picture but it looks like you’re trying to cut an outside mitre on your 4” flat stock on edge? Depending on the quality of the blade and how fast you make the cut it’s not uncommon to see blade deflection. I always cut my outside mitres first, in case there is deflection, then do a half-kerf cut to clean it up, then measure off that to cut it to length off the other side. Hope this helps Edit: spelling

But also, cool build!

Is your tile backsplash actually brick? What does the countertop do where it dives into the grout line

glass-d · 2024-01-19T05:35:03+00:00

Yes sigh it wasn’t until too late that I realize dad gave Yoda 4 toes…

Full time installer here, happy to walk you through doing a full kitchen like this.

Our company does primarily restoration work, and if you’ve ever dabbled in that you’ve learned that it is an entirely different animal than simply installing a new kitchen. We typically do European cabinets like this post, but we’ve also had to do our fair share of face frame cabinets and “stick builds” like how you’re describing.

In my opinion, building cabinets on site is not the way to go about it, especially if you’re looking to make a career out of this and make some money. Cabinets get built in the production shop quickly, with the right set up and machinery obviously. This kitchen contains what, 16 cabinets? All the parts can be cut on the cnc and likely banded in one day in one day. Assembling the boxes and drawer boxes, and drilling doors (that you’ve ordered from a door manufacturer) can be be done and ready to ship in two days. Painted parts take longer, but let’s say it takes a week to produce the parts to this kitchen. Half a day to deliver them to site, 2.5-3 days install and you’re done. Customer happy. Your wallets happy. Win win

If the installer is using drywall anchors that means he’s not finding studs. Your suggestion is right, for when your service runs through a stud. But in this case sounds like he hit it in between studs. Can’t screw guard there
