@robinpatterson8754 14 күн бұрын

Nicely done. Simple little tricks like this, are so thoughtful. It's like the screw trick, tha avoids cross threading. Putting the screw at the old opening and turning it backwards until it bumps into the thread, the turning it clockwise as normal. You never cross thread the hole.. Its critical for wood and plastic parts and even metal.

Can you please let me know which blade to use for cutting melamine without chips on a circular saw or a portable table saw

@henrymostert2125 Ай бұрын

There are two types of laminate blades. One is a triple chip blade the other is in high - ATB 80 tooth blade. There's a company called FS tool that makes this. This is the type of Blade I prefer. It will give you a decent cut on the back side of the melamine in one pass. The other blade is very good but you won't get a good cut on the back side. It works best with a scoring blade

That is a good question. If I'm painting the melamine what I do is put automotive bondo in the hole and then sand it and prime it and paint it.

I generally will take the cost of each cabinet would be one sheet of material whether that is plywood or melamine. Then I calculate how many doors I need whether I'm making them or ordering them I have to factor that in. Then I calculate all my drawers and how much time it takes to make one of those and the amount of material. Then I add in finishing and how much time it takes. Then moldings and panels and the finishing required on that. The last thing is a profit margin. Generally I try to be about 30%

@henrymostert2125 2 ай бұрын

Those are very good questions. Yes I have had it where I have left the product in the cup for actually about 2 days. I came back and it was like hard Jello at the bottom. Gun wash and the reducer that I use for the finish was able to break it up. I tried to spray all the product and then mix up another batch. That way I don't have too much product that can go off. I have about 45 minutes before the paint starts to degrade. But yeah don't be like me and leave paint in the gun it's a bad idea LOL

I needed one more piece for a drawer bottom and the scrap was 1/2 larger and was a perfect cut to fit. The other one was terrible. The walls were really uneven. Also needed to use a scrap piece but this time it was 3/4" too short. Had to buy another 4x8 sheet just for one drawer front. Dropped every other screw. Battery went dead twice. One of those projects. When that happens I stop and go outside and just breathe. Force myself to slow down and calm down. I tell myself I'm retired and I'm not breaking my back anymore and it'll get done.
