It will make sure that next time you make one of these that you'll be checking three times before progressing on any of the next steps - plus making up a check list for yourself.

Oh...and it will teach you to leave the fridge door shut until you've finished up in the workshop for the day/night

For you Harley

Gah you guys provide no consolation.

I forgot to mention. I had read in some post somebody recommended using pocket hole screws instead of drywall screws. Tremendous suggestion. They work much better imo.

Total waste of money on Bill's designs. The screws don't even need to be left in once the adhesive has cured. Most of the builders now use pneumatic brad nailer.

Sorry, bro. I don't do touch-ey-feel-ey. Straight-forward, no nonsense, no B.S. from me.

O.K., maybe some B.S., but not about the designs!

We let you off lightly - Mr Green is the best consolation you can get Once you're part of the furniture here, you normally get for your cock-ups.

No doubt the PL is plenty with all the glue surface involved. In fact with my 18" wide cabinet I'm surprised there's even a need for the braces. But even if you plan to remove the screws they're better. They go in much easier (self tapping) and are thinner so they don't bust out the wood so easy.

Moving right along. The end is in sight.




What a damn mess.






Dead soldier

Tried to look up "cobber" in the online dictionaries, failed. I will take it as a kiwi compliment

cobber [ˈkɒbə]
n
Australia and NZ informal: a friend; used as a term of address to males, similar to "mate" also meaning friend ( in the male sense ) from dialect cob to take a liking to someone

So you're spot on!

it's strange to think that some people in the world grew up without the influence and education provided by Neighbours and Home and Away.

I grew up with another language, that may also be a factor

Man I just realized yesterday that I got some pretty crap baltic birch. I'm finding more and more voids and finally noticed that the outer ply's are about half the thickness of the others. Guess I won't be going back to that lumber yard.

Use a bright flashlight in a very dark garage. Shine it down the space in the adjacent panel all the way to the bottom. Look down the opposite side of the panel. If you see light apply more PL if not light move on, you may have to use a stick or something to get the PL down. It is a huge pain. But I found and fixed like 10 leaks on my 27" T60 doing this, and is better to find them now.


BTW Where do you ride? I used to live there and mainly rode in Aliso Woods, never had enough stamina to go from the bottom to the top of the world but had tons of fun going down the hills, total adrenaline for a newb rider like I was/am. Also did some riding on Santiago past Blue Jay Campground not sure the name of the trail. Lots of switchbacks, tons of sweat, fun climb though.

I love Aliso! My favorite ride. I also do a lot of Whiting/Luge.

2 more panels! 2 left to go.

I had a major cock-up tonight. Cut the angle on the wrong side! Luckily I had my old baffle that I had screwed up and it fit perfectly. If it wasn't for that I would have had to go get a whole new sheet of BB because I'm out of scrap.







Trying to saw through your workbench is bad mmmmmmmmmmmmmmkay?

Seeing your build makes me really happy I invested in a cheap compressor and brad nailer for the soon to start pair of T39's. I'm not a patient man. Stubborn yes, but not patient. And the amount of clamps needed would almost finance the compressor.
