[joefusco1960]

Thanks! I kinda wish I lived there as well ;-)

[joefusco1960]

lol I agree lol

[Greeneyez2475]

Ok. Last question. I have cabinets in my kitchen that have the veneer sheets on them. Can I remove the sheets and put something nicer (cherry, walnut) on? Or can I just glue on top of them?

[joefusco1960]

It sounds like you might want to look into refacing.

Did you made that fest tools set up your self or that one comes ready to set like that ?

[mprimecoleman]

Using the festool instead of a table saw is such a great idea. Much more safe and fast!

Oh, I guess the first basic of cabinet making is buying a saw table with a bulit in saw guide and a vaccuum attachment for your saw. They are easier when you get some guy from the Home Depot parking lot who doesn't speak English to install it for you. And when you do that, you don't learn anthing. building and installing it yourself is the only way, other than payning a mint to a commerical carpenter who is bonded and licensed to get what you need done properly with a guarantee.

Self closing is a must have of course. Having numb wrists when I am done anyway will make it well worth the extra expense.

I would prefer to build a Door in Frame Type cabinet, you know the type found in old farmhouses in the 1800s or the Amish overpriced tourist shops.

I am in a bit of a Architectural "know how" crossroads, keeping with the Prairie/Craftsman and still have a modern feel on the inside. The plain and simple is ... better...If there is a way to do away with knobs and handles in this project.... I am sure to find it.

I'm going to make some bedside tables and drawers to hone my cabinetry skills. I have a major project coming up soon, building an entire kitchen from scratch myself. Thanks for the videos, you have made me more confident with this.
