Yeah, I knew there'd be a price to pay.... I'm just glad she hasn't tried to leverage this into getting another dog. :D

Cabinet doors look great though Roy!

I like that built in Yellowwood. I actually kind of enjoy trim and finish carpentry. It's nice to build something beautiful and have other people able to see and enjoy it.

As a plumber, if I've done my job well, no one ever sees my work or even thinks about me. So, it's nice to do something a little different from time to time.

Congrats on the buy, but you could have gotten about 20 of my lam grinders for that price....

You might have a little more production out of yours though :D

I'll have to post a pic of what I was using. I made a shop built attachment to my spindle sander. Actually worked pretty well.

BMorv · February 22, 2018, 02:14:00 PM

Yeah, I was really impressed with my homemade setup. I get .002" tolerance if I take the last few passes slow.

Hell... That's lookin' purty cool there Morv... Post a side pic or two... I got an extra one of those laying around...

Buemaker · February 22, 2018, 06:32:00 PM

BMorv, how do you adjust thickness on your grinder?

C. Johnson · February 23, 2018, 07:59:00 AM

This is the lam grinding attachment I built. It actually worked pretty well.

C. Johnson · February 23, 2018, 08:00:00 AM

Wow. Don't know why that pic came out so huge.

Roy tells me to take the s off https if using imgur and it works.

Roy from Pa · February 23, 2018, 08:45:00 AM

Yup that could help.
You want http:// not https://
So when you paste the url in here, just delete the S.
You can go back and edit it out.

Mr Johnson, your homemade design looks more precise than mine (and it looks huge!!)
I can't claim my design as my own as I've copied what I've seen from others in the past.
One end of the board is hinged and there's a bolt under the board on the outfeed that adjust the thickness. 1/2 turn does about .005". There's small bungee cords that keep the board from moving much. I'll more pics later if you all are interested.
