Or maybe a tornado shelter. You do GREAT work WOW! I am so impressed, but not jealous, no not all, nope not one little bit, mine are particle board. smiley=thumbsup.gif

Michael DeWald Senior Member Offline What? Posts: 323 western NY New York USA Gender:	Re: Shop cabinets in progress Reply #7 - Mar 31^st, 2012 at 12:21am Nice. They should handle the weight of tools well. That can be a problem with used kitchen cabinets. Particle board sure does warp nicely under load.

Did you cut your tenons or use floating tenons? Your cabinets show all the quality of a cabinet makers bench.

Donald...loose tenons. Much easier that way! The joints all have a dado or rabbet to support the joint in one direction, the tenon aligns it in the other direction. Good fit on the tenon thickness assures alignment, the width of the tenon not so important due to the dado/rabbet. Using epoxy any gaps in the width are filled with strength...not foam Wink

The "mortiser" is an old tool & cutter grinder. Handy for sharpening, but works pretty good for mortising too. I did have to make the end mill holders for it, and top speed is only 3500, but that is plenty fast in actual use.

Took me a while, but have been doing a lot of bike riding. The top is 3/4" plywood with 1/4" hardboard glued on top. Oak edging screwed on so it's a little easier to replace. Now I got to finish those collet holders!
