Preparing , preparing , you're always preparing . OZ-T's "Just build the damn shop already build ".

Game on

Over the next week I will transform this neatly stacked pile of 18mm Birch C2 plywood into a random assortment of different sized pieces according to my cut list that will take up far more space in my shop awaiting the day I will get around to assembling them into something that resembles cabinet boxes

 

Is the shop toasty warm ? Have you heard from our other contractor 23Skidoo ?

 

One of my favorite threads is active again, Merry Christmas indeed.

 

yes

not recently

 

Merry Christmas, seal beater.

 

Started breaking down my plywood today . Used my TS55 track saw and TSO parallel guides to crosscut my panels as required . I cut right off the stack by putting a sheet of 1" styrofoam under each sheet as I was cutting it




Phase 1 is done , all my full sheets crosscut as necessary . I'll rip all these pieces into their individual units next session




Especially at this time of year , its important we remember the less fortunate homeless members of the systainer community . I pledge to give each and every one of them a home in the Festibule

 

Do you watch Scott Brown carpentry on YouTube? He just finished up a plywood kitchen build for his house in New Zeland and your cabinet stack of plywood reminded me of his videos.

 

yes

if I start my own Youtube channel , I thought I would start every exciting episode by saying "Not Scott Brown here"

 

My wife and I always say that when the videos start lol. “Scott Brown here!”

 

Ah, The Festibule. Lovely ring to it.

 

Aboot time this got back underway with the required vigor!!

 

*vigour

 

Phase 2 of Project Plywood Cutpalooza done except for my stretchers , I'll cut those all up tomorrow no problem

Next step is to mill up the solid wood edge banding I'm going to apply to the plywood , I'm going to use some old vertical grain Fir flooring I pulled out of a previous client renovation I did ages ago , you can kinda make out the bundles on the floor to the right in the foreground

 

Thanks....I'm not fluent in Canuckanese yet, I haven't yet snuck over the border north yet so I haven't earned my BJ card..............................................................................(border jumping)..........

 

This is like waiting on Christmas.

 

Got sidetracked yesterday but today got my stretchers and kick ladder material ripped up

Have a design change announcement for the bored averse community subscribed to this thread ~

instead of vg fir banding for these cabinets , I'm going to use western red cedar on the uppers and possibly yellow cedar on the lowers

I have lots of all three and just want to mix up the woods a bit to represent the material I usually use in my work , plus I'm kinda vg fir oversaturated , plus the darker red cedar will look good against the birch plywood on the open shelving

 

I think that will look good. My dad just trimmed out a building using VG fir for base boards and redwood cedar for all the door and window casing. It looks fantastic! I think you'll be happy with the results.

 

Lookin good OZ

 

Banding milled up

i decided to mill a bit of the VG Fir as well for future use while I had my machines set up

Left to right ~

Yellow Cedar , Western Red Cedar , VG Fir

Darth Systainer approves

 

I was going for a 5mm edge banding



not bad , not bad at all
