That MW caused me holy hell too. The stone was only so big and I had to keep the island under a certain size so the slab would work. Then I looked at the specs and it said it needed a full 24" of depth in the cabinet. So I changed a few things around replace the two end cabs backs from 1/2" to 1/4" and cut a hole in the MW cabinet so it would have that extra 1/4" so it would just squeak by.

I was there when they went to install it and the damn thing was only about 22 1/2" deep. I went through all that redesigning and material swaping to make the damn thing fit and it was a lot smaller than the specs stated...grrrrr.

It is also a pull out drawer MW, not just a standard hinged door.

so now i can always say i made a boat, you guys know i can or could of built it bigger if i wanted too hahaha

i gave the little guy sensory overload today, should of done it different than i did . i told my kid how he would react and i was right,

his big sister tried to hop in and he turned into mr mean jeans. i can't blame him. this is probably the best this kid has had it so we splurged, we i mean i splurged, no she spent my money too , it's we just not we's money that was mine hahahaha,

so after two weeks a couple 3,4,5 hundred dollar bills and you'd be stylin, i'm kinda mad i didn't make it bigger wouldn't of cost much more lol

to get where i got involved taping, it's tedious kinda fun and you can screw up fast, usually because paint fumes got ya lol

if they look off its because i just laid them down by eye, i was gonna lay them out but that is a crazy amount of time to spend on it imo

i should of showed him the boat first, but the truck was in front like it was towing it, i got him on video honestly i think it took a little while to realize the boat was even there and then it was a quick look over,

to see a kids face light up like that is the best thing in the world, i am glad i was in a position to hook him up, can't wait to see him in the parade and car show

thanks for looking guys

This is what got me hooked with woodworking just after High School. With all the racing I did nothing helps make your day than putting a kid in the boat to see the smiles on their face.

I love what you've done for your son there.

[FRAME2FINISH]

thanks guys,

i really appreciate it, i had all girls i raised them like boys but its not the same thing, this boy is my stepsons kid. i started raising him when he was 8 and i was 20 so i am kinda grandfathered , er i mean POPPOP'D in,

so first things first he had to kill the batt on his truck, he went mudding got stuck, and the best was his trip down the ditch, i thought he broke the wheel off, he's just sitting in it matted to the floor, he got right out and looked over his truck so he was mad about it. it was a haul to drag it out up 8' lmao

so we went to the river and i was afraid he wouldn't get in, well theres no need for that. he is a waterbug thank god that would of sucked if he didn't like it ,

it floats nose heavy, with him in it, but it will hold 2 so that will level it out, and then when the trolling motor goes on that will do it and then if needed the batt also. i think it will be fine it does weigh a few pounds though, i have to figure out that trailer quick . heres some pics in it's element, oh he said in the van i love my boat, so that was good to hear, and he was brave enough to start rocking it so it is stable. thanks again

The start of some round cabinets.

 

[FRAME2FINISH]

nice job leo as usual, you get to build some cool stuff for money even lolchris , have fun with that one make sure ya post up pics or even a thread

 

[chris klee]

I managed to get the boxes built. The 1/4" backs didn't bend easily. Took a few relief cuts to make it work.
The side will be against walls so I get to screw the sides and they won't show. I am using trex PVC trim to make the curves for the face frames.
I made a jig for the router to make the curved plywood pieces, nothing hard just a long pivot arm (6' 3"). Worked great.
