Re: Plywood Cart


I have a 4' door to go though so sounds like your A frame would work - I'll work on it. First things first though - I'm going to head over to depot and get some wheels!

Kidding! Thanks for the advice guys - it is appreciated. No cheap wheels!

Re: Plywood Cart


Sure, one or three. How about 10-12? Looks like it will work good if you just use it to feed the tablesaw. But not to store plywood too, unless you only store a few sheets. Not knocking it. But I find it easier to just handle the sheets onto the tablesaw. The cart would just get in the way. Would be nice when I get to be 70 or so though.

Casters are the expensive part.

Re: Plywood Cart


This works for the shop floor. You may want bigger casters for a driveway

Re: Plywood Cart


This is the first full day on it. On Friday I got my solid Cherry, last Tuesday I got my plywood. I always like to build my FF's and doors first then the boxes. So on Friday, before my solid stock arrived I started to built the vanity for the same house, still Cherry. Made the FF, door parts and slab drawer fronts. Today I shaped the panels. sanded them, sprayed a thinned coat of pre cat lacquer on both sides to seal it, assy the doors and sanded them (2 doors). I also picked out all the stock for the FF's for the kitchen. Cut it to width, length, jointed a face, planed, jointed an edge, planed the opposite edge and got 6 out of 16 FF's assy. I was also dealing with a lady who wants to update her kitchen and we were conversing by email about changes and updates to what we had already discussed. Probably 10 emails today. I also did a few cabinet renderings in eCabs so she could decide on how she was going to proceed.

Not use to actually working through the day. It's been a while. The time change screwed me up. I forgot to reset my shop clock and didn't notice until it said 6:30, it was really 7:30. So it was a long day.

Tomorrow I should get the rest of the FF's assy and get started on the doors. Probably get the stock cut and a bunch of panels glued up.

Do you do mostly Euro or FF cabs? Buy your doors or make them, how about drawers? Finishing?

Geez Leo, if you work a little harder the day goes by so much faster.

I'm happy to see you are busy with good work Leo. You deserve it.

Re: Plywood Cart


To many visitors today. Ya, just visitors, no customers. The lady who I am making a small gloss white Euro style kitchen for her place in NYC stopped by today. We needed to go over the dimensions of the kitchen area, the GC that is working on the place gave me the numbers and something didn't seem right. We tried to do it through email, but she doesn't like email so she came by. She is a good client, got lots of work from her and many referrals with a few that came through. We know each other pretty well now and can talk other than business. So we did, for about an hour. Continued on the FF assy. The lower FF's are more complex than the upper, plus they have a furniture style toekick, so that takes about 15 minutes each to cut out and sand up. My landlord stopped by a few times today, good guy, doesn't act like a landlord. I have a FAX machine and gets his FAXes through my machine. I received 2 for him, plus I act as his secretary (an ugly one, wife approved ) and typed up his minutes for his condo association meetings (he is a member). Takes about 10-15 minutes. Plus because of the time change I needed to change the light timers in his building, I am in charge of general building maintenance. I get $100 a month off of my rent to take care of a bunch of small things, usually about 20 hours a year. So I continued on with the FF's and got to the last one that I can assy. I left 2 unassembled, the lazy sue corner cab and the corner upper. I like to build the cabinets first and fit the FF's to them. Less problems this way. As I was gathering the parts for the pantry FF, the last one, my buddy Ron came by. He's another local WWer. His shop is about 3 miles away and we talk a few times a week. Usually about job pricing and business related stuff. He is setting up a spray booth and comes by my shop to steal my ideas. So that burned up another 45 minutes. I have another kitchen remodel coming up, he doesn't have any work on the burner and I can't handle the load that has dropped on me all at once. So I subbed all the doors out to him, I'll do the cabinets and we will both do the install. Finally got around to making that last FF. By now it was about 5:30pm. A lot of time burned up by visitors. I should have stayed and picked out the stock for the doors but I wasn't in the mood. So now I am down by about 2-3 hours from where I figured I would be. Just typical. Just so you know, I am a late starter, doctors hours the guys tell me. I usually start around 8:15. Such a Lazy Bum I am.
