All your desserts went right to her ass.

I envy you guys who can do cabinetry.

Any time I try and build a cabinet, it just looks like a carpenter tried making a box. Or it looks like a doghouse. Whichever is worse.

I don't make cabinets...

Eurocabinets aren't even a whole box, maybe try one of those...

Flower hammering?

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.

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.

Super nice but my question is, how do you manage to keep all of those tools on the ceiling?

Anti grav of course.

 

[WarnerConstInc.]

At least the weather is great.

 

[WarnerConstInc.]

8 jambs and sashes in. Now on to trim, storm windows, interior trim, siding.....

 

[tjbnwi]

Looks great Darcy.

It's going to be as good as it can be with how wonky the bay and the building are.

I should have built crooked windows, blended in better. 😆

Looks great Darcy.

Sometimes the best thing to do is build it to what's there.

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.

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)

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

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 I originally made the cups just fit over the leg but I didn't like it.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.

Fits nice. I left a skosh for paint.

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.

 

[Leo G]

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.

 

[Snobnd]

Just finishing up some of the outside work I’m still waiting for the front door parts and the side window and sliding door for the porch!

 

[tjbnwi]

A pair of floating walnut vanities. The center section is a door grooved to match the drawer layout.

Leo:

Shouldn't that spline be long grain?

 

[Leo G]

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.

 

[WarnerConstInc.]

Getting closer.

 

[Leo G]

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.
