Yep, as much as I like the Kreg Hinge jig, I am yet to find a set of hinges the mounting hole guides actually align to! Using the one sheet and grain matching was definitely the right idea. The only thing I wouldn't have done is glue the legs to the cabinet base. Think of it like a coffee table top, you've put a restriction on the expansion and contraction of that wide solid panel. The screws in extra wide holes would have been enough. Should be ok, just keep an eye out for signs of cracking as time goes on. Overall an awesome build and I am now up to date with your back catalogue. Your build and editing style are both developing at a remarkable rate.
It's funny because I was going to reply 'wait did I glue them?' as I didn't remember doing that till you mentioned it. I just went through the raw footage and I put glue on one of the legs. I honestly don't remember what I was doing maybe on autopilot to glue one of the legs? But for sure I will keep an eye out. So far so good tho, can't see any issues. I don't think I put alot on it, I could probably remove it ok if I had too.
Good job mate, there’s nothing better than working with my daughter in the shop too
Great vid table saw out feed might be the next build
How did you know!....
Love it, and I appreciate seeing you make mistakes too, gives hope to the rest of us.
Thanks Alex, now get back to Bannerlord.
Great job mate. Love grain matched fronts. Could have repositioned the drawer or the runners to get around the spacing issue. 😃
