    You’re a doer

    Dave Campbell [email protected]

    M y wife got me one of those wristbandfitness gadgets that monitors myactivity (“10,000 steps a day!”), soI’ve been out walking more, especially withthe beautiful springtime weather in Iowa. Callme snoopy, but as I navigate the newish neigh-borhood near our house, my eyes seem tolaser-lock on any open garage door, curious ifI can glean a storage or organization idea, Iguess. More often than not, though, I’mstunned by the absolute lack of stuff.

    Where are the shovels, rakes, and spreaderfor taking care of the lawn and garden? Whereare the mechanic’s tools and floor jack fordoing basic service on the car? Where are thesawhorses and DIY tools for painting, plumb-

    ing, and patching drywall?This generation of homeowners does more“hiring” than “doing.” A lawn service keepstheir lawns trimmed and tidy, the car dealersends emails reminding them of needed ser- vice, and angieslist.com provides them withhighly rated handymen.

    While I’ll admit I can’t do much work onmy car anymore (too many computers inmodern vehicles), I still prefer to do most of

    the work around the lawn and house myself,whether it’s knocking down a wall, building anew one, or working on the pipes and wiresthat run inside them.

    That goes for the furniture between thosewalls, too. Mine may not be as perfect as thefactory-made stuff, and it costs more to buildthan to buy, so my brain sometimes asks,“Why?” But my heart knows—it’s the journey,not the destination, that counts for us doers.

    So here’s to you, if you like to do. We’ve gotyour back with another issue chock full ofunique and practical plans. If you’re new towoodworking, check out the latest install-ment of Idea Shop 6 on page 36 , where wehelp fill your garage and build your skills,

    $150 at a time. And if you’ve got a few years’experience under your belt, Jim Heavey’sarticle on page 20 is a must-read.

    See you in the shop!

    You’re right, Michelle. Addingto the confusion are the pencillines inP otoC , which looklike cutlines, but in factindicate safe gluing area.

    “It’s really distracting to work atthis drafting table,” Chris says jokingly. “I’ve gota view rightup into the Arizona foothills. Ifthis was a hom e, this bum p-outwould be a perfectspotforakitchen table.”

    Rolling up the 9×10'overhead doorreveals Chris’shop garage. Here, he can cutdown sheetgoods forhis woodworking projects orw ork on otherhobbies, including his ’63 Corvette and’07 Harley-Davidson StreetGlide.

    A lthough it’s a fully functional w ood-w orking shop, C hris also considers it hism an cave:“It’s notu nusualfor m e to spendthe entire evening in the shop.I’ve gota T V,a stereo,and a bathroom .There’snotm uch Idon’thave.”

    Chris lifted six cabinets from hanging cleats in his old basem entshop and relocated them to hiscurrentshop—this tim e using a differentarrangem ent.

    G o for serious adhesion w henattaching a granite topI have a granite rem nant left over from akitchen rem odel,and w anttouse itasa top fora coffee table.M y challenge:H ow do Iattachthe slab to m y table assem bly? I’m guessingdrilling into the gran ite isnotan option.

    — N eilThackery,A llen da le,M ich.

    You’re correct, N eil; drilling into graniterequires special tools and expertise, andcould fracture the slab if done w rong. Wechecked w ith severalcabinetand countertopinstallers, and they all suggested using anadhesive.So w e asked experts from FranklinInternational(m akersofTitebond adhesives),DA P, and Liquid N ails.T hey allagree thatthe best choice w ould be a polyurethaneconstruction adhesive, such as: TitebondG R EEN choice Prem ium Polyurethane C on-struction A dhesive,DA P Sm artBond H eavy-DutyC onstruction A dhesive,orLiquid N ailsLN -950 Polyurethane A dhesive.

    A lthough your installerm ighthave used asilicone-based productto secureyourkitchencountertops to the cabinets— a popularchoice am ong the installers w e surveyed—ourexperts advise againstthis.Because yourtablew illlikely be in a location w here itm ightbe bum ped or m oved around occasionally,you need the reliability of an adhesive w ithm oregrip than silicone can provide.

    C apture squeeze-out. O utline the base’s foo tprint w ith m asking tap e,an d m ask the ba se too .W ipe aw ay excess ad he sive an d rem ove the tap e be fore the ad hesive dries.

    B ecau se it’s difficu lt to c lam p a n a ssem bly suc h a s this, w eigh do w n the basew ith heavy objects untilthe adhesive has dried for24 hours.

    Just Shut Up!by Jim Heavey

    W e teach ou r kids that saying “shutup” is inappropriate. But, forw oodw orkers, that phrase is anim portant adm onishm ent to yourself.Thenext tim e you hand a w oodw orking gift tosom eone and they offer sincere thanks, Isuggest saying,“You’re w elcom e.” A nd thenshut up.

    A dm it it:M ost of the tim e this is w henyou offer disclaim ers such as,“No big deal.”Or “Not bad for the first tim e I tried cuttingdovetails.” Or “The finish w ou ld havelooked a little deeper had I used oil.”

    M aybe the recipient said that this m aster-piece m ust have taken you forever.A nd youcounter w ith:“No,it w as actually really easy.I had som e scrap that I w anted to use up,and this seem ed like a good project for it.”

    Shut up!Friends and fam ily know how m uch you

    m ust care about them to have handcrafted agift.D on’t tarnish that sentim ent by deni-grating your w ork.You are a lot better than

    you give yourself credit for,an d those w hoknow you hold your sincerity and crafts-m anship in h igh regard.You m ight just asw ell have said: “This is nothing special.W hen I m ake som ething that’s really notthat good,I think of you .”

    Shut up!A ccepting com plim ents m akes m any

    w oodw orkers uncom fortable, especiallyw hen they are given in person. So w edeflect those kind w ords by m inim izing ouraccom plishm ents.Or m aybe w e are so inse-cure about our skill that w e im m ediatelypoint out ou r flaw s,figu ring that som eone is

    going to see them anyw ay.

    Listen: A nyone w ho looks for im perfec-tion s in another’s w ork only reflects backtheir ow n character flaw s,not your w ood-w orking m istakes.(A t any rate,if that’s thetype of people you’re m aking things for,consider a n ice gift card instead.)

    A t a w oodw orking show aw hile back,anattendee w anted to show m e his subm issionfor the w eekly contest. A s he opened thecardboard package and un w rapped hisentry,he told m e that he had a bit of troublew orking w ith that particular species ofw ood. He explained that the finish w asaffected by the naturaloils in the stock.Heapologized for not backing up the m aterialw hen he cut the dovetails.

    Slides com e in lengths from 10" to 28".Atoo-short slide prevents the draw er fromopening fully,and one that’s too lon g w on’tfit in the cabinet.To determ ine the properlength, m easure the interior depth of thecabinet (behind the face fram e,if there isone)and choose a slide the nextsize shorterthan thatm easurem ent.

    Because the thickness of draw er slidesand the w idth of the draw er opening arefixed,bestpractice isto bu ild the drawerboxto fit the difference betw een the tw o afterassem bling the cabinet.For exam ple,m ostroller slides and side-m ount ball-bearingslides requ ire 1⁄2"ofm ounting space on eachside.To use these in a 12"-w ide draw eropen-ing,bu ild the draw er11"w ide.

    For shallow draw ers or a pu ll-out tray,

    buy a slide no tallerthan the draw eror tray.

    In s t a lla t io n c o n s id e ra t io n sFor fram eless cabinets,just screw the cabi-netprofile to the cabinetside,parallelto thecabinetbottom .O n face-fram e cabinets,thefrontof the slide attaches to the face-fram estile, to photo.To align and secure the rearofthe slide,m anufacturersprovide bracketsand standoffsthatfasten to eitherthe side orback ofthe cabinet.You can also create yourow n standoffsfrom w ood scraps.

    Begin by cutting four 1 1⁄2"-thick,7"-square blanks for the body (A). Jointthe faces to ensure they’re flat;any inconsis-tencies willproduce unsightly gaps betw eenlayers. Glue the four blanks together face-to-face and let dry.

    2 Lay out the body or adhere a copy of thepattern ( page 56 ) to the face of the bodyglue-up. Bandsaw it to shape and sand to theline. We found a tall spindle sander (orsanding drum m ounted in a drill press)w orked best for this.

    Next, m iter-cut the roof panels (B)[Exploded View ] and glue them together
