Lol, yeah I've known about the fritz and franz jigs long before I had a slider. To be fair I first strongly considered a buying a slider 6 or so years ago and read up on usage as much as it made sense at the time.
I like the idea of parallel stops for ripping on the slider but want a more accurate method of setting both stops.
If anyone has and interest in balanced "Dancing" winders or French wood windows. I ordered these from France on Wednesday and they showed up today. So far I'm impressed.
I was actually trying to find the window book when i was in Paris but couldn't. The stair book (by the same author) was a recommendation from a instagram account I follow that dives into historical building design and geometric layout for carpentry. Since I found both at the same place and shipping was the same for mutiple books I pulled the trigger.

NOAA issues severe geomagnetic storm watch for only the second time in nearly 20 years
A strong solar flare is heading for Earth, and it could impact high-voltage transmission lines for power grids and satellites.

I heard they are viewable in Big Bear. Nothing here.

Jar, by all accounts we had the northern lights over us here in London/ south east last night.
Obviously I missed them but I have been sent a photo literally five minutes before my daily GJ check in.
You’ve seen it, I see on another thread.

I've used that on cabinets and doors and it always turns out nice. My paint company owner buddy got me hooked on it, and lets me use his company account too which like you said makes it even better.

My only complaint is the sheet is one level below what I'm used to with advance. The semigloss emerald is closer to satin advance. The other being it does not level out as well as advice, but it doesn't run nearly as bad, so I'd say that's an overall neutral difference.
The previous owner of my saw apparently used the rip fence as a hammer, crowbar or spacer to jack up a car.. I've never seen an aluminum extrusion abused and bent in odd places like that. I looked around a bit and oddly a felder fence was the cheapest option. I ordered it Monday afternoon and arrived today. It's considerably heavier in cross section and overall better designed than the original. I will need to modify or replace the fence knee as the t-slot is lower on the Felder fence.
Edit:
I also ordered 8 of the bessy 48" I-beam clamps that have been in homedepot.com shopping cart for the last 6 months since was finally ordered dewalt flex volt batteries for the miter saw I picked up this last summer. And since I don't have any dewalt cordless tools other than the saw I also added the cordless router because I needed a charger for the saw batteries.. (this made perfect logical sense to me..)

I've used the SW emerald urethane extensively on all trim and doors in my house. not sure if you are spraying or brushing but I brush. I mix in Floetrol and it will level perfectly every time. my wife and anyone else that looks at my painting swear that i spray based on how well it levels.
more broadly, i now mix in Floetrol (for latex) and Penetrol (for oil) for all paints now rolling and brushing and won't ever go back. spraying is a different animal so this may not apply to that.

I have used that Dewalt router and I was surprised how easy it was to use with the battery being on top, I thought it be awkward.

I think you will like it. I picked one up a long time ago on sale as a "if I don't want to break out the big corded Bosch" I'll just grab this. Now I honestly can't even remember the last time I dragged down the ol' Bosch and used it.
I knocked out a few doors/end panels last night for our master bedroom coffee bar that we will never actually use..lol
I started to set the cope cut on the saw/shaper, but realized the spindle it tiled rearward slightly. The benefits of having 4 shapers is just using a different one.
Cutting and then coping some cute little rails (I run the sticking first, and cope with clockwise and counter clockwise heads. The sled makes even these tiny rails straight forward.
Ready to final size. The end panels are 1" thick, the doors and drawer are 1.150"

You make this look so damn easy. Nice work!

We *will* have a coffee bar, it's just unused space currently..
It's an artifact of remodeling the master suite to curve out a laundry room and reworking the doorway. It left a space that we didn't have a use for (that was next to existing plumbing for a sink)
As for making it.. I may not make it. My wife just mentioned we should have planned for a beverage fridge and possibly a microwave.. (not kidding) also not happening.

She might just put your very impressive skills, your kitchen besides the stuff you post here is amazing and shows great attention to every detail to work.

I wish I had your skills, you're my spirit animal

It's really just having the right tools.
Speaking of tools, it's nice to see home depot takes care in packaging heavy items.
Two of the 8 clamps were in the factory packaging. 4 were loose in a the large box (with the smaller factory box) and 2 were in the slightly smaller vut still excessively large box.

I feel your pain.
my 4 - 82in Bessey,s arrived in a very similar way from Amazon. The boxes were not even taped the entire way.

Really nice work.
You do make it look easy!
Sounds like that new slider will allow different methods -- hopefully better use of your limited time as well.

Thanks.
I will say that having the panel saw/shaper makes a lot of things easier and or faster. Even though I do have a couple sliding shapers, neither have a outrigger and easy 90 degree fence. It made cutting the top/bottoms a one step process.
I previously cut them with a crosscut sled on my cabinet saw or track saw if they were too large, then ran them across the jointer to clean up the saw marks/set the gap. The shear cut shaper head leaves a better finish and is less finicky to set up. It also never tears out.
I'm also liking this cordless dewalt.
And for anyone taking notes at home; insert carbide bits for the win. This bit has done every cabinet door I've made for the last few years and is still sharp. I'm really a fan of insert carbide over brazed for tooling. It's shaper and lasts longer, upfront cost is higher but inserts are cheap.
And funny you mention limited time.. there is a ticking clock to get these projects finished, and the realization I'm going to have no time about one month from today.

Well congratulations! Life as you knew it will cease to exist. 
And I learned something new. I had no idea there were inserted router bits. Care to share a manufacturer? Please

Would you mind doing a beginners level walk thru of your finishing process on those cabinets?

Congrats on the upcoming family addition!
The most relevant tip I've got is get a cheap pack and play for the shop. Nap time in the shop is a great way to give Mom a break and let you have some "quiet" shop time for thinking, drawing future projects, cleaning and putting away.
