Ed,
We are our own worst critics. Just realize that few will ever look at your work the way you do. As you said the customer is pleased, but we usually look at a project with ideas of how we could improve it. That shows we care.
Be sure to take pictures of the completed job for your portfolio as this is a piece that should prove to be very popular. More people are going to wide screen TV's which won't fit in places where the old ones did. And I think it's beautiful too.
Roy

For your two wall situation, be sure the face frame going to the side wall extends enough past the cabinet carcase to scribe it a little. Likewise, you need some extra stock where the cabinet side wall can be scribed to the back wall. Get the cabinet close to final placement so it touches each wall. Use a simple pencil compass to draw the scribing line, setting the pencil just a little wider than the largest gap. Do the side wall first. Hold the point against the wall at the top of the cabinet side frame and draw a line to the bottom, holding the compass perpendicular to the wall. Remove the cabinet and plane the face frame to the line. Re-hang the cabinet and once it is tight to the side wall, repeat the process with the back wall and you've got it done. If the material is plywood, I'd cut off the excess with a jigsaw, being careful to maintain a smooth line.
Hope this helps.
Rob

great job,
We always see our mistakes, the customer rarely does though. Very clean lines. Be blessed friend

Like you I was really disappointed with the stuff. I've purchased their sandply before and I think the quality has gone way down hill. I had some aweful tearout with this batch and I was using a new 60 tooth blade. I'm guessing you saw the same tearout and voids. So... where else can we go to get sandply, apple ply, birtch or poplar in your area or mine?
Ray I have used aurocco (sp?) from Lowe's life and had much better results than the sandiply. Just my opinion | |

I've had better luck in the past with the sandply but this load seemed particularly bad. I'll try the stuff you suggest from Lowes. I still have a couple more cabinets to make.

I'll definitely keep that in mind. I usually prefer Lowes to HD, but the lady I made these for had a HD card she wanted to use for smoe of the material. Thanks for the tip! | |
