She's pretty. Not drops on porch, just an eighth slope I decided for ada ease. I'll kerf flashings behind the rock and Sauter the corners to make sure a pressure washer or something doesn't get water agaisnt the plates

Came early this morning and got the form trailer and hauled it off, brought back an empty goose neck for the rest of the forms.

Going to have lunch with my wife and then I guess I'll come help these guys wreck forms, still short handed for a few weeks.

That came out nice. Looks good and will be functional.

Built a set of cabs for a GC who will install them in RI in an inlaws apartment. They can't have a kitchen so the cabinet was built big enough for a kitchen sink and the upper still has a medicine type cab with a mirror but larger storage on either side. I have to install the pulls still.

Image


Here's the upper. It is upside down on the cart so I flipped the pic. It'll have a small crown on it which I've pre-assembled the 3 pcs that go above the mirror and the other two will be fit to size in the field.

Gonna be building a vanity for a GC for a project in NJ.

This is the pic they gave me that they want it to look like.
Image


Because of the dimensions of the vanity it's going to look more like this. The color will be Ben Moore Prussian Blue (CW-625)

Image




Started to work on the base and legs. I have brass cups that the legs will be capped off with
Image


Used Maple for the square frame. Used Red Grandis for the legs because that's what I had for thick material that is hard and paints well. I originally made the cups just fit over the leg but I didn't like it. So I went through a process to get the cups to fit over the leg and just be ever so slightly proud of the leg at the band on top. Looks much nicer. 6º angles and then an angle for the taper which is on the two inside runs of the legs. The outsides are straight with no taper.
Image





Fits nice. I left a skosh for paint.

Image





Not exactly sure what I'll do for joinery. Maybe a spline for the base and then a screw into the leg and then drill a hole and insert a dowel.

Apparently I'm using a spline for joining the 45ºs. Used a strap as a clamp. Nice thing about that is if your 45s are true, then it's automatically square.

Image
 
#10,038 ·
Yup. But it's just for alignment so I didn't really care. The legs will have dowels on either side of the 45 and there will be a pc of 1/2 plywood screwed to the top leaving a 1/2" margin around the top. Nothing is going anywhere. It's also not a stress joint. All it has to do is sit there and take vertical pressure of the cabinet and the countertop.
 
#10,041 ·
Gonna look really nice in the end. You have paneling going on the bottom?
 
#10,040 ·
Not exactly what I wanted but it'll work. I wanted to put two 3/8x3" dowels in through the top but I just don't have enough space. Between what the plywood will cover and the taper on the legs I didn't want to chance something breaking because I'm pushing the limits on being near the edge of the miter joint and the legs. So 3" screws it is. One on either side of the miter. So between the leg being glued to the base, the screws on either side of the miter and the spline I'm pretty confident this joint will stay together for a while.
