I'm honored, maybe some of my 20 plus yrs of working wood can be of help. I know you have information that I can use. I have seen your projects and you are very good at what you do. Looking forward to exchanging information and ideas with you. Thanks and have a great day

Justin, I played with the blocks today and came up with some measurments for you and a plan as to how they go together. Figured it was to complicated to draw and send on this site so , I'll try another way. I'm sure you can figure it out. basically the height mesurements are figured on a standard 36 inch high cabinet without a pre framed toe kick. It is figured with a 3/4 thick top so adjust accordingly. Also don't forget that the measurments for depth is to include a 3/4" thick face frame so deduct that from the floor where the doors will close and on both end panels.
Also raise the floor on your panels to match the toe kicks of the other cabinets.
Justin glad it is of some help. Another Gentleman, David Dean, on the community replied to me as well wanting some plans. I will draw up a set tonight and get them to you as well. I never build from plans so don't have any available right now. I guess I should draw up and catalogue some plans or at least as to how I build them so others could have access to them. later and If I can answer any questions give me a shout. jay, from Oregon
When I have stain questions I am coming to you then!! I have done some restoration work, but not much. It's funny, I have never sold anything that I have made. I build things for friends, they pay me for materials and I build what I can. I would love to maybe do a craft fair or something, but other than the cutting boards I make I have no clue what else to do. You get much business off of craigslist selling the things you make?? I have never heard of Etsy.com either. I need to get in gear and make a little money off of this stuff so I can buy toys!! LOL! I hope to sell that table saw, words can't even describe!
Hi Justin
Thank you for all the details for your oak bar. My wife just looked at yours again and gave the green light to start the build. Thanks again for all your help!
Do I love my dust collector.I planned out around 100 lineal feet of ash and I did not have one speck of saw dust or chips on the floor. Although I do have to get the cyclone and garbage can because I did plug up.
Also built a portable dust hood for my router table and can be used with radial arm saw,miter saw and edge sander.
Justin is the wood already dried or it have to be put in a dryer for wood? The problem I'm running
into is I don't know what is the best way to get wood. Is that a lumber yard buying cured lumber
from the mill? Can you buy from the mill and cut the distributor out to save money? I'm trying to
figure out how to buy and save money.
Justin look what I found. Is that what you did?
Lumber Manufacturers
If you are interested in building your own furniture, house extensions, platforms, or frames, then you might want to consult the online directory to help you find lumber manufacturers that you can buy construction materials from. You will probably find several distributors listed in the directory. Some people find that the large number of suppliers makes it difficult for them to decide which company they should buy from. You can choose a company by contacting several of them and getting information that will help you make a good decision. Call the first supplier on your list and ask them if they sell a variety of boards, plywood, pulpwood, construction materials, softwood, hardwood, and other products. Some lumber manufacturers that you talk to might focus on certain types of lumber. For instance, a supplier might have pine and cedar timber, but they might not have the other red wood products that you want. It is often best to choose a distributor that can supply you with all of the boards, timbers, and construction materials that you need. Ask the distributors where they are located. If you have a truck that is large enough to carry the dimension of the dried wood, then you might be able to save money on shipping and delivery by choosing a company that is in your area. If you can get a better price from a company out of your area, though, you will want to ask how much it will cost to ship the sizes that you need for your platforms, frames, furniture, or other construction projects.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
