I never really had much of a problem with tear out. When the bit starts to dull I have issues in the socket at the end of the bit travel. It tears out sometimes and can migrate into the inside of the drawer. Plus I'm using a dovetail machine and not a jig. But when I was using a jig I still didn't really have many issues with the wood. I had plenty of issues with my bits breaking because my system uses a 1/4" shank.

Haven't used real wood for drawers in a good long time.

99.9% of our drawer boxes are either, hard maple, walnut or oak. BB very seldom.

Had a bunch of maple drop offs laying around so I glued them up instead of burning them.

Birch will have tear out issues as opposed to the stock Tom mentioned.

Church at 8 weeks, painters spray soffits Monday, roof goes on right after. Handrails are going in, hvac starts Monday, MEPs will be inspected Friday after next, then decorative concrete guy grinds, stains, seals and covers the floor. Will be roofed, windows and doors installed, MEPs completed and spray foamed before new years. Drywall and masonry start right after the first

Just like 90% of pur homes been all my crew up till now except slab rough, concrete, framing, steel work. Bring in multiple subs inside and outside simultaneously the superintendent will earn his money. It's a full time supervision gig.

Wrapped up this paneling job this week (not painted but paint ready). It’s certainly not a high end job but for a budget wall reinforcement I thought it turned out all right. I definitely wouldn’t have minded some budget to pull the base and tuck the panels in behind it but that’s how it goes sometimes.

Wrapped up a bathroom too, I wasn’t actually here for most of this job but they sent me in for a few days of painting and caulking and punch list.

Never seen wainscoting panels done with horizontal T&G. Interesting.

All prefinished MDF sheets, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it used that way before and I don’t think it was meant to run that way but it’s quick and easy.

I've seen it a few times done in beach cottages.

What is the white block under the sink?

What is the white block under the sink?

There was a weird little bit of pvc drain showing under there where it angled out of the wall and into the floor. There is another stair behind that wall, concrete slab underneath, county already shelled out a pile of cash for a co to cut up the slab and move the drains and wouldn’t give us any more so we went for a simple fix and the client was happy with it.

Made plywood template to make the barrel rest for the gun cabinets.

Little job we did awhile back.

On today's episode of "there is no illustration in the manual for this"....

Someone a while back screwed down a sheet of 16 gauge of galvanized steel over the 100 year old saddle. Did not work well at all, it had some dip to it but not much and didn't go under the shingles very much.

I pulled the steel, cut off the existing overhang between the ridge and wall, framed in the newly exposed valley with some grey but solid 2x4s then fully adhered some TPO in there.
My expectations were exceeded as far as how incredibly well and rapidly it drains.

Ripped 3 layers off and resheeted the upper section. I still have to shingle the backside and tie the funky intersection together.

Looks great, you keep reminding me why I don’t roof.
