I got you. I know they aren't perfect but it's likely that people on here don't have table saws and trucks. It's an option but has to be supervised. If they mess it up you can always have them redo it on their dime!

sure I didn't mean the cuts in your product, just in general people should not count on those. I've probably had 30 pieces chopped down over the course of the last decade, and not once have they been right.

Yeah... Mine was cheap MDF for some wall mounted garage shelves, so it didn't really matter. But I second the lumber yard for a lot of stuff.

Can't afford that stuff. Saw kreg had a new saw guide for ripping plywood. Gets good reviews and is cheap

Get yourself the Festool track saw and the 108" track, you'll never look back.

One time I was silly enough to mention the words “blade kerf” the blank expression I got made me feel real silly. I go to the lumber yard when I can, probably a good $10-15 more expensive a panel but the quality is way better, they can actually cut it and they help me load it in the car too. But they’re closed by noon on saturdays.

Thanks

Thanks good luck!

Pretty much! Looking forward to seeing all your videos. Thanks again!

No worries, thanks for the reply. And awesome bench you made BTW!

Nice work!

Most of the ends are cut so there is no primer on the ends. It's a strong joint I would never just use glue. The glue is secondary to the screws for sure!

Looks great! Next time you should rip a bit off the edge of the primed boards so the glue will actually bond. It's not doing much of anything on that joint so good thing you also have pocket screws.

Thanks dude!

I haven't messed with carpet ever but I'm sure there is someone YouTube that tell you how to do it. Likely not that hard I'm just no expert. Sorry :(

Thanks, I am a relative N00B at home improvement and have no idea on how to remove the carpet safely. Any source that you can point to that you'd recommend taking a look at?

Love this!

Have a similar space....

If into comics and graphic novels....

Highly suggest mounting a 30 inch tv monitor vertically (1080p or 4k). Add a small used mini pc or even a raspberry pi and you have a great easy reading nook.

Thumb ball mouse to control...works great and non intrusive.

We purposely showed the hinge. The style in craftsman farmhouse. My cut was good couldn't have done it better myself. At least this time!

What color of stain is that on top?

Apparently when I asked for 2 feet at the panel saw it's anywhere between 20 inches and 28...

One thing I'd say about getting home Depot to cut your wood is it is very hit or miss. I bought a sheet of MDF for some garage shelving. I asked them to cut it in half to make two long skinnier pieces. I didn't pay close enough attention apparently, because they were about 2 inches off center. This meant one shelf was 4 inches deeper than the other. Luckily it didn't matter, and I didn't care, but it seems like many employees don't care either.

Nicely done. Only thing I would have done different would have been to hide most of the piano hinge in the joint.

I always help out the tech when he's ripping something down for me to cut more precisely at home by punching in the code when the saw lock times out. They don't change the blades often, and usually push the blade down making the cut pretty rough.

Yep this is how it is at my store. Also blades never get changed often enough so they start to grip the wood and throw it, causing the cut to go at an angle
