You can still use packing tape.

You're not getting it with spring clamps either.

Not much information. Would have like to see the shaper cutter in action.

Work is slow for a bit and I'll be getting my wisdom teeth yanked so I'll have some recovery time with that too so I figured what the hell I'll refinish another sks stock. It's snowing and cold out so my outside hobbies are done. This time I'll probably do some kind of unusual color seeing as I've only done Walnut stain with the other ones. I've got a spare that I bought that's already blue so I don't want to do that. I've got a water based stain in green I could try but I'll have to take a look at the Cloverdale stains and see if there's anything else fun to try.

The Tandems are piss'n me off. I always have an issue with the tops of the drawer fronts tilting out a bit. Enough to notice. I make sure my drawers are are square in all directions.

I went on WoodWeb and asked if anyone else has this issue and within a few minutes someone said, yes, same issue.

So after the island I decided to add a .027" shim on the front of the slide to push it up a bit and tilt the slide and that seemed to fixed the issue so far. Might have to go to .030" because the sheet good pullout was a tad bit forward at the top.

Got 23 drawers/pull outs working today. 8 more to go tomorrow and then onto doors which are soooo much easier.

That would make it worse, the tip out at the top.

It's already tight to the slide.

engineer went old school. Its a big field, much larger than it looks now, they just started

Be glad to get this first one done. Taking raw land and developing with well, power, roads etc... is time consuming when it's a side gig. I have another one I want to do on 6 acres in Ancient Oaks, that will take 5 years I figure at the rate these are going [emoji38]

Cool. I just used the Blum HK-XS on a refer unit. Very small inexpensive hold up hardware.

That's what I'm using it for now. The hinges won't hold it up. I used it in a cabinet with a 8 3/4" opening which is smaller than it says it can handle. Just don't follow the mounting instructions and mount it how it can work.

There are 3 weight groups. I've only used the smallest ones. They have an adjustment on them to balance the door so where ever you leave the door it stays. And they are inexpensive.
