Finely getting to work on some Cabinets for the Barndo

[Jay Caughron]

This has been a long time coming but I am finely on the cabinet builds for the Barndo. Starting with the master bath vanity and tall cabinet.
Prepping and sizing face frame material this is supposed to be hard maple but I really think it is just red leaf soft maple.




This is what happens when you cold store belts for over 5 years, Went through 3 16X48 belts in 10 min.

Good to see you’re getting some shop time in.

Great looking sander. I hear you on the long term belt storage issue. I think I am saving money buying in bulk but 5 years later I am just throwing away the savings. Better to let the retailer store the product for you, buy at a higher price per belt BUT, get to use them . . . The wife and I are adjusting to food shopping in the same way. We were used to buying the "large economy size" but found with our kids grown and on their own we were throwing half of it away because we can't consume it fast enough. We still mess up here and there but we are getting better at it.

Good to see you out in the shop Jay. I've done the same thing with belts.

I discovered that sanding belts also have a best before date if one should call it that way with my hand held sander, I had a bunch of them and they kept breaking by the glue joint almost inmediately, so I had to go and buy new ones. Looking forward to see the whole process Jay.
