Nice!

I have made literally thousands of cabinet doors over the years. The ONLY time I wise clamps from rail to rail is to set things in place, nudge them into alignment. Usually, I apply a bit of stile to stile pressure and tap with a mallet and block.

Using two clamps per door means I can clamp twice as many at once!

I got a Makita on Craigslist for $15. It replaced the Cummins grinder I had for 10 years that I paid about the same for. Both grinders do the job. The Makita doesn't seem to vibrate as much.

Remarkable! Ought to post this in the basement. You'd probably get more interesting replies. It is woodworking though - I guess. I think I'd charge him almost that much to take it down.

What was the price?

I have that saw and also saw that information about riding the bottom of the gullets on the center of the tire. That works for me. I found that tension pointer to be useless. The little stub just pops out of place all the time. I do have a tension meter to check blade tension but hardly ever use it. I just crank up the blade and use the sideways deflection to gauge how tight it is. I try some cuts and fiddle with it a little until it cuts right.

I think all you need is a t-fitting and another regulator. Your compressor's regulator will act as a one way valve as long as you set it lower than the low limit switch that turns on the compressor. Plumb from your compressor regulator to one leg of the t-fitting and put your new regulator on the other leg. If the the low limit of the compressor is 90 psi then set the regulator to maybe 75 psi. Set the new regulator for whatever pressure you want to spray at, or maybe 5 or 10 psi higher if you have a mini regulator at the gun. The compressor will keep the tank at 75 psi all the time, assuming it can keep up with the flow you draw off.

Should have mentioned that the plywood is undersized for 1/2".

MDF is the correct choice as you are painting the units.

I dislike the very permanent shelf placement. build in adjustable shelving and you can gain more useable space for storage

As for construction rabbets and dadoes and glue would be my first choice my second would be biscuits.

Pocket screws will cause more time covering holes than they are worth...

That's what GF recommends, mostly because it won't turn yellow over time. If your application doesn't need a high level of chemical durability HP Poly is a great choice. It goes on very well with a foam brush and sprays beautifully. If you need a high level of chemical durability, however, I would use GF's Enduro Clear Poly (not to be mistaken for EnduroVar). Enduro Clear Poly is water clear, like HP Poly, but has a much higher chemical durability and abrasion resistance. Enduro Clear Poly is recommend for spray application only, but I haven't had any problems applying it with a foam brush on small surfaces. Admittedly, I've never tried doing it on something as large as a table top.
