Home Improvement Today?

Added the DeWalt DW745 table saw to the collection on Thursday. Beast of a table saw. Laid about 150 sq feet of hardwood today with it.

 

Nice , I have 3 744's

 

Milled the rest of my door and drawer parts.

 

well done! ...I like seeing the contrasting sapwood in the pieces...

 

Is that Walnut Joshua?

 

Got my new cabinets installed, along with the under cabinet lighting. Put down a new subfloor which will get tile in the near future.

Granite coming in a couple weeks. Won the cabinets for free during a radio sweepstakes, and put them in myself.

So far no major snags.

 

Yes it is.

Nice on the kitchen win.

 

I like the look of Shaker for the base cabinets and a Cathedral for the wall mount cabinets. Well Done.

 

Looks real nice

didn't even notice this, but

 

We are in the process of a kitchen make over and I am leaning towards the Shaker look. Simple and timeless in style.

 

thank you! I was a little unsure about two different panel styles, but after I saw the rendering with the cathedral uppers, it was a sure thing. They all have black hardware now which really ties the two cabinet styles together.

Post up a picture of your kitchen as you go through!

 

That will be a while from now. We do not plan on starting till after the holidays and the start of the new year.

 

Now to figure out pulls to use on a 36 inch drawer.

 

Single pull or 2 ? Handles or D pulls ?

 

Bronze of those are the pick so far. They fit the style and have the sizes I want.

I can't have any that pertrude with anything remotely sharp since one of the dogs would probably lose an eye.

Worth it?

 

If you need a decent tile saw yes. If you need one once no.

 

I agree. If you foresee a LOT of tile in your future, it's probably worthwhile. But if you're just doing a room, it's probably overkill. I bought a Rigid 7" tile wetsaw from Home Depot. I opened a credit card account (which I never use) for $50 off coupon and got the saw for around $100. It's worked great though it's a little messy as it shoots water toward you as you're cutting. I've cut large tile with it (12x24 and 24x24). Plus it's fairly small so it's easy to store.
