Use a dado the width of whatever thickness your boards are. Mark the center of each board, cut that far, carefully chisel the waste square on each, then slip them together. I made a wine rack like that a few years ago with 16 cubbys and it went easy doing it that way.

We just yelled, um spoke firmly, to the kid when she looked at it. Kids aren't stupid, they feel the heat coming off it.

Well the screws at the rear of the cabinet are going to be unseen. I would paint the heads of the screws to match the color of the cabinet.

The easiest way to paint screw heads is to take a piece of corrugated cardboard and poke all the screws through the corrugated so that the heads alone show through. Then spray the face of the cardboard. You need to keep the screws about 1" apart so you can hit all the edges of the screws.

A color matched screw is probably going to be your most efficient way to join these and will go largely unnoticed.

Looks to me like you need to disconnect #1 and #2 from the switch and connect them together. Then swap the 110v plug for a 220v plug and you're done.


Everyone else agree?

Oscillating saw. You can go Fein, Bosch, Makita for big dollars and long term use, or $40 for a Harbor Freight. I've got a Bosch, and use it more than I thought I would have.

Very nice! Pretty piece of wood too. How did you do the texture?

Crack repair for less than 3/16" wide cracks.

First off----I own a number of Stihl tools and they are the BEST!

But----knowing how our soil is in this drought (northern Calif.) I would have serious doubts than this auger would have enough power to dig much of a hole.

Hadn't heard about the idea of holes and pea gravel, but guess it could work. I do know that root watering is best done around the perimeter of the tree at the fall line (furtherest point where branches extend out from the trunk).
I've always used a root feeder (narrow spike that connects to your hose)---works well with or without fertilizer. You likely will have to do this a bit at a time----wetting the soil to allow penetration of the feeder, around the perimeter of the tree. Good luck

Natural Arkansas stones are not classified by grit but by density. There is some good info at danswhetstone.com Norton suggests that a soft ark falls out somewhere around a 600 grit water stone. I keep a soft ark in the kitchen, seems fine for general kitchen knives.

Dave,
He is definitely around. He made a comment to a post on the OWWM site last night.
