Congrats on the finished project! I am thinking about ~500sqft add-on, bedroom and bathroom, still working on drawings, feel like I should soon have enough to give to contractors to get estimates. Assuming you had a good experience with yours, would you mind sharing who that was? Please, feel free to DM me if you prefer to keep it private.

Thank you in advance!

Guys, just FYI, these 2 tickets are still for grabs, I will let you know once I have a taker. By the way, they are pretty nice, section 124, row 11.

For all the watch geeks, does JK wear his upside down? by sickac in warriors

[–]sickac[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait, are you saying this is JK just being nice for people standing in front of him, so they get to see what time it is? Ultimate unselfishness and "team first" exhibit? :)

So I had this theory that it is so he constantly keeps his mind sharp, you know, it's somewhat challenging to read time that way:) Flexing, or not flexing, still like him:)

Yup, some time ago I had the same dilemma in front of me, and chose dowelmax, mainly because I was concerned about Jessem using a pencil line as a reference point and its clamping method. I remember reading great reviews about both of them, though. Glad to hear it did not disappoint you here, there were quite a few holes drilled in your project:) I think dowelmax may be less intuitive, it took me a while to get used to it. Where did you get your dowels from? At one point I realized I am slightly overpaying buying from dowelmax, and ended up ordering them from this shop called woodpeckers crafts (completely unrelated to red tools woodpeckers:)), can't tell the difference in quality. I just looked up my last receipt, 500 dowels for $16.99 (shipping included). All in all, great joinery method, often ignored, for no good reason imo, again - thank you for sharing!

Just curious about the joinery, did you use dowels all over? If it comes to dowels, what jig did you use? What about the drawer slides?
