The blanket chest is beautiful. Nice work.

Finally Finished with my Cabinet Box Build. SO I went from this... To This... All three units are 83" tall and 23" deep (including the face frames. The one on the far end is 20" wide, the other two are each 35" wide. Now it is time to make some doors and drawers.

For the past four+ weeks, making cabinets has consumed all of my garage time. I'm about to start on the face frames. Here is a picture of one of the ones I've been working on. It is 34.5" wide (with face frame it will be 35") x 83" tall. It is laying down so I can attach the face frames when...

Sand and Poly, again. Have another Cabinet Carcass to go.... Maybe can assemble the boxes this weekend and get to the frames. One can hope.

Over the past two+ days, I assembled the 20"x 83" cabinet carcass. I cut, milled (dadoes and Rabbets), sanded, and started to poly the two 35" x 83" cabinet carcasses and shelves. My 15 year old son was over to help on Sunday, so I should say, he cut and sanded most of the shelves. I give him...

Cut, milled, sanded, and applied the first coat of poly to cabinet #2 in my garage cabinet project. Built the face frame for cabinet#1. Finished my router table "build" complete with the electrical components (switch). It was a good weekend.

It is two base cabinets my neighbor was throwing away with the 24x36" Incra Router Table Top and Incra LS17 Positioner Super System attached. The 17" version. This will soon be my router table setup. :)

I unpackaged and started to put together, this. Now I have to affix the top to the cabinets, install a switch and wire it, attach the router to the plate, and I'm ready to start using it.

This is my version of the Ultimate Workbench. It's more "permanent home" in the garage is still being created.

Over the weekend, I cut and milled all of the pieces for the first of four cabinets. Sanded and Applied the first coat of Poly to the parts which will be "inside" the cabinet. I also cut (in the garage/on the driveway) all of the door casing and baseboards for my upstairs hallway.

1" Holes in the top may be a problem when it comes to finding dogs/pegs to fit. Most of what I have found are either 3/4 or 20mm (which is what the festool table uses). I had an aluminum template cnc'd with 20mm holes 96mm on center. Used that to make my workbench top. The center section...

I have 3 60 gallon rain barrels which I use to water my flower and tomatoes and such. A good downpour and they fill quickly. If you need the water for something, then do this, otherwise, plan on having a diverter so once the barrel is full, it runs somewhere else. In fact if you need the...
