We gotta see up close pics of the doors and the grain now.

- corelz125

I ordered the slab doors, but was impressed with the grain on the fronts. I will take some pics.
85% of the faces have some curly/fiddleback/figured (whatever you want to call it) grain to them,
It was totally unexpected but I was happily surprised.

The 1/8" hardwood edgebanding on the doors is made from about 5 layers of wood. (I didn't count them)
I'll show some pics of that too.

 

Waiting on a band saw delivery - yet again.

LeeRoy - the cabinet guys are coming today to finish the job (been 4-5 months?)

I bet there is no way they will finish today.

Could you step in?

he didn't have time to respond here but he called and told me to tell you he's on the way to the airport now and should be at your house first thing in the morning to get the job done ! what a guy huh ;-))

 

Here we go.

 

That looks nice, bet your ready to start using it.

 

Just landed at the airport… no one here to pick me up?
Guess I'll go home. shucks….

Nice Saw Petey, Congrats, I hope you will enjoy it.

I'm always glad to help in any way I can as far as your cabinetry goes.
I don't really know what I can do from here though?
Anything I can do, just ask.

Can't blame him. If I had a brand new band saw to put together I wouldn't have gone to the airport either.

 

Just saw this, probably nothing new but thought it was cool.

False bottom drawer. Anybody ever hear of one?

Drawer splits right at the top of the drawer slide,
top portion of the drawer hangs over the guide 3/8" which hides the seam.

Piano hinge on the back, and probably needs some way to keep it lined up when it's closed.

 

Slick idea, great hiding spot.

 

LeeRoy - are you n Vegas? Left there almost 4yrs ago. What area are you at?

- Hammerthumb

I m out at the speedway now.
I remember when you were here. Asked you once if you knew Mark Snodgrass? Being in the flooring business.
I ve done a lot of work for him. I ve bought a lot of material at Virginia Hardwoods.
Any of that ring a bell?

Sorry I missed this Lee Roy.

I worked for Virginia for several years as operations manager.
Mark is one sharp cookie when it comes to stair building. He did all of the stair building for Brian's Masterpiece. Do you know Ed Garcia at Peterman Lumber, or Gerry over at Woodworkers? Ed is a good friend I use to golf with a lot.
I bet we met at some time or other.
So I got a call from Virginia Hardwood home office a few months ago letting me know they were closing down. Very sad.

 

yeah thats damn cool.never seen that trick either.

 

If you could lower the split between the upper and lower drawers, you could hide the seam just below the top edge of the draw slide and that would likely serve as alignment between the two as well. Having only a slight purchase at the top of the smaller of the two drawer, you'd probably need some kind of reinforcement to make sure the two could be safely supported to the max capacity of the drawer slides.

 

Have a new trick to build into the next cabinet build Leeroy

Sorry if you hadn't heard, Ed passed.
His son Eddie is still at Petermans.
Joe Lombardi took over Ed's position. (don't know if you know him or not)

I've known Gerry (and Christian) since about 85'
They just shut down Woodworkers… (that sucks for me) went there a lot.

I still see Mark on occasion. He's a good guy, lots of high end clientele too.

That works.
Hard to tell but the drawer member sticks up about 3/16" or so.
I think it would cradle the upper portion pretty good.

Didn't want to take over your thread here with more personal stuff. Had not heard about Ed, but had lunch with him before I left LV and he told me about his medical issues. When I last spoke with him about a year and a half ago he said he was doing ok. I'll give Pete Peterman a call. Known him for longer than Ed. This makes me sad.
Sorry to hear about Gerry and Christian also. I've been going there for years and would spend money there just to help support their local business. Hope they are doing ok, but will give them a call tomorrow.
Last thing, have we met before? Virginia Hardwood? Woodworkers?

 

LeeRoy love that hiding place in the drawer!

Line the inside of the drawer sides so that when closed it goes down into the lower box and holds tight into the lower drawer.

Do the top part of the drawer like I would do a humidor lid. The lid is "indexed" into the lbox. fits real tight.

Might have to raise the bottom of the top portion for the indexing wood.

Make any sense?

 

Thinking about an adjustable platform, for undermount drawer guides,
that you can mount your existing drawers to.
Sketchup prototype.

 

I can't tell what this will do?

Is it a platform that pulls out on the slides?

 

I like your idea LeeRoy. I could have used it when I installed file cabinets in my credenza. It would have made that part of the build a lot easier!
