I wasn't even aware they made a circuit finding system. It makes sense though because I've had Bell looking for "live" Bell wires before.PCShutters wrote: ↑ First item: Brand new Zircon CF12 Pro Circuit Finding System (Retails for $350)

I’m just Jelly of the Incra system. My tablesaw is woefully inaccurate for the cabinets I am attempting to build and I priced a new fence... nearly fell off my chair. Now trying to make the old one work!

I have a love/hate relationship with the Incra fence system. It's amazingly accurate and repeatable but it takes up too much room and I have very limited crosscutting capacity due to the fence. If I want to crosscut anything over 32 inches, I would need to remove the fence and it is not as easy as lifting it up and stow it away. If I want to crosscut anything over 40 inches, I have to pretty much dismantle the entire fence from the table. Yes, I could have get the 52" version but that would take up even more room on the right side of the table. We are not talking about a few inches of wasted space. My 32" version required almost 30 inches of clearance on the right side of the saw.
I am seriously considering going back to the Biesemeyer fence system that came with my table saw.

I have 100% heard the same thing from reviewers and a few pro woodworkers I know. The one review said it was amazing and accurate but also a huge PITA as you are constantly fussing with it.PCShutters wrote: ↑ I have a love/hate relationship with the Incra fence system.

I have worn the little fence slides down on my Ridgid saw (which was not cheap, but not cabinet grade) and now the damn thing will lock cockeyed if you arent careful. Meanwhile the best consumer grade saw in the world (Ryobi BT3000) fence is dead accurate and 21 years old. I may recover it from the cottage and switch saws. I dont build furniture at the cottage.

I am finally made some progress with the wainscotting. It is taking forever! I should have follow my own advice and not make my own trim...between milling, sanding, scribing, fitting and install; it is taking much longer than I expected.
Some update photos. Only half way done, still have plenty more to do.

It has been a while since my last update. No major projects, just a bunch of honey-do list that is way overdue.
Finally got around to do the curved baseboard around the stairs
Dish drying rack
My first end grain cutting board. Most likely my last.
And finally something for myself. Great stress reliever.

Yeah, tell me about it with end grain, I seem to make one per year, and dislike it every time. Also I feel like its just an exercise in creating sawdust for the most part.PCShutters wrote: ↑ My first end grain cutting board. Most likely my last.

Also, there is something about a square/straight edge wall that is just satisfying to look at. Who needs art when you can have woodpecker, stabilia and some tracks hung on a wall?
Edit, where do you buy your woodpecker stuff from? I usually get it from KJP but it seems they've been sold out forever.....

Enid grain cutting boards do not interest me. I know its a great way to blow out scraps, but I would prefer to make a 4x4 cutting board than an end grain of any size.PCShutters wrote: ↑ My first end grain cutting board. Most likely my last.

Where do you get your structural foam? Dowelmax… a man of taste!

Yes it is very addictive when you start getting into Woodpeckers and other quality tools. Most don't understand why we would want to waste our money on a piece of aluminum but we do it anyway. It makes me happy. That's all it matters.SubjectivelyObjective wrote: ↑ Yeah, tell me about it with end grain, I seem to make one per year, and dislike it every time.

Woodpeckers tools are out of stock everywhere. Last time I ordered, I had to wait 3 months only to get my entire order cancelled. I get all of my Woodpeckers online from ultimatetools.ca and elitetools.ca
I can't find a source for it locally. I looked into KJP but they also have nothing in stock.

I never like end grain cutting boards but it is one of those things we all have to do to cross it off our woodworking bucket list. I am going with side grain from here on out.
I got my Kaizen foam from Richelieu but you can get it from places like Ultimate Tools, Amazon, Elite tools, etc...
I used to use my Dowelmax all the time until I got the domino...my Dowelmax is just collecting dust now.

Broom Cupboard/Medicine Cabinet
Lately, it seems like I got nothing done because I have so many projects going on at the same time. One of it was this Broom Cupboard & Medicine Cabinet. We have this messy corner in our kitchen where we put our vacuum, steam mop, brooms and cleaning supplies. Ideally, if we have a bigger house, we would have a closet to put them into but we don't so this is how I address the issue. This will be quick 6 steps write up because it's pretty much the same thing I have been doing for all of my other cabinet builds.
Step One: build a big carcass to house all of the things I want to hide
Step Two: build a side cabinet to house my medicines & first aid supplies
Step Three: fill it up LOL
Step Four: build the doors
Step Five: Dry fit the doors & make the necessary adjustments
Step Six: Paint it & call it done.

Thats a real thing. My first house I bought a small dedicated dust collector and piped the entire place. It was amazing. The only time I made dust was when drilling in the middle of the floor. Everything had its own dedicated hookup and gate.
Have never been able to 100% duplicate that since
