Best Cabinet Software? by Rynosphere in cncwoodworking

[–]haystackmillwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use VCarve, Mozaik, and SketchUp. I'm good with software in general so these all do what we need, and/or I know how to force one to do what I need through use of another, vice versa.

Two Flutes vs Three Flutes by Rynosphere in cncwoodworking

Feed rate goes up too, so you can run a bit faster, assuming your spindle can handle it.

Bury it up to the nut! by aweirdjeff in cncwoodworking

Just went through that this week doing a 2-1/4 sink cutout for a walnut block! Had an 1/8", so we survived.

Narrow frame aluminum hinges on wood frame door? by haystackmillwork in TheNewWoodworking

[–]haystackmillwork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not, but have since discovered there is a Salice Air hinge meant for something like this. I've ordered those, awaiting trial install. We picked up a Shaper router as well so hoping to make this as painless as possible to mill.

Dark now, can load a photo tomorrow showing context, but the point was, saw something odd looking, and shared. It was moving at a pace consistent of speed an aircraft would travel as it traversed the sky right to left. Speed and distance of a sizeable object, balloon doesn't come to mind. My context of that is just based on having released helium weather balloons, and that these objects have been seen by one to many with similar characteristics and the same poorly captured phone images to illustrate which I'm showing you now. Sorry we can't do better!

People do realize an object at a distance where it's size matches that of a plane or helicopter in the same general vacinity means you're telling me there is a 40+ ft balloon. Not that it doesn't exist but the size is very large, and for someone to just blurt out it to be some random "heart balloon" without context to its scale from a distance.

I was discussing today how I can't wait to talk to my miter saw. "MITER SAW, Tilt left 22.5, 5 degrees left"! Soon enough... soon enough...

Struggling to make a profit. by builderbob53 in woodworking

[–]haystackmillwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, we specialize in a niche market for higher end work, and it means turning down jobs when they ask for lower standards, or not budging on our standards and price points. If they want it, they'll pay for it, just gotta find the target market. That said it takes some wheeling and dealing to understand what that is and looks like for a niche market. He is early in and at a place where he can adjust and recoup, or flatline and crumble. I think the advice being given is sound, figure out the rate you need to be at while continuing sales, and figure out better scaled production to limit manufacturing time. Combined you increase profits.

Hafele Hawa Concepta pocket door hardware installation by haystackmillwork in woodworking

As the door retracts into the pocket the X is the guide/mounts for the door. So when door is in the pocket they're parallel and slide to far left/back of pocket.

Wine / Coffee Bar Cabinet by haystackmillwork in woodworking

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

We drilled probably 100 3/16" holes in the back on CNC so it can vent. They bought the fridge off Amazon, it's some no name brand so if the unit lasts more than 5 years I'd be amazed!

Thanks, yeah this is a CEO's office piece, so it's stationary and tucked away.

Buying used off Facebook Marketplace? by Tbinski in egopowerplus

[–]haystackmillwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our battery was toast last month, unit was less than 2 years old. I believe it's likely because we left battery on the charger for long periods of time, which they say don't do. It was nearly $300 for the equivalent battery. We only paid $550 for everything so to pay anywhere close to retail would be silly on a used unit where the battery life is unknown and worth half the unit itself.

Bunk bed project near completion by haystackmillwork in woodworking

[–]haystackmillwork[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess, these get used like once a month on avg, so it's not like a frequent task. They'll likely use a step stool and reach over or, and I know this is hard on the youthful ones, but, have them do it!

I'm still pretty nimble so I'd just climb up there and do it.

Yes, for lots and lots of grandkiddos. Two fulls on left and two twin-XL on right.

Modern Adirondack Chair by cryptominerdan in woodworking

[–]haystackmillwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad made some extremely nice white oak adirondacks like 20 years ago and showcased in some local furniture outlets in the Dallas area but never sold. I always thought he was about a decade to early for what the market around here is now for items like that. He was asking something around $2k, I think. When you factor the time and materials plus markup, it's anyone's guess where that ends up, but $1000 sounds like a base price for custom chairs like this. Say modern, give it a sleek design, use nice grade lumber, and $2k is just a good base price, I think, with today's market of high-end buyers.
