very unexciting flatwork.
I thought Id get to hanging the folding shelf Im going to use for the left side sliding mitre today, but had no assistance and its something I wont be able to do by myself.
Although incredible heat and humidity today, like a fool, I devoted the day to the Tom Clark style shop cabinet Im putting under my new work bench.
The only things I did a bit different from Mr. Clarks build(besides not build it as good as Mr. Clark), I added castors, and did not lay out the pieces side by side to mark drawer slides, I made spacers for each one. They all seem to line up fine.
After I attached the face frame and back, I measured corners for squareness, and all seemed good. All the pieces were cut together and it all fit nicely.
when I finally finished and added the castors, the level showed off a bit, but I laid it on the floor, and the floor is off also over there.
Tomorrow, I will begin my nightmare, drawers, something I just cant seem to ever get right. Heres some pics of the build and progress.
Again, thankyou kindly Mr. Clark, ideas with pictures are just fantastic for us woodworking impaired.
*its not that big since I want to roll it under the work bench, and also need to have room to roll an 18x20 top mobile router table.
I had half a sheet of sapele ply left, and assorted sizes of birch ply, so instead of buying plywood, I just used it. Half a sheet of sapele costs around 65 bucks, oak ply for a full sheet is 50, so I didnt feel like spending additional dough. I dont think Ill worry so much about plugging nail holes and such, or finishing as per Mr. Clarks cabinets. Im a slob and Im sure this surface will be all marred up and stained within months.Hardware used for assembly, 1.25 inch and 2 inch PC brads, 16 5/16 lag screws for castors, and 22 inch slides.
