FitBit stats for this week

Starting to get back into the whole running thing again. Here are the latest stats. John B. was telling me that I should get used to being number 2 on the list. 

Guess not…and I haven’t even got started. I have a triathlon to run in September.

Look out!

The house projects – cabinets

I have two projects left on the interior of the house:

1. Baseboards
2. Cabinets

In the case of the cabinets it’s more than just cabinets. It will be cabinets plus shelving and other doodads to complete a laundry room, pantry, mud rooms and two walk-in closets.

So below is a picture of the first carcase that I am working on.

1st carcase

Total cost at this point is $40 including the maple face frames (not seen)

cross-cut sled for cabinets

Last night I finally got everything put together with the table saw. The output table set up, everything calibrated.

I then built the final thing that I needed to be able to start building cabinets…the cross-cut sled. These things are pretty easy to make. I ordered a couple of guides, cut a piece of wood and screwed them on.

Bingo. The last thing to do is square the fence to the blade. I used the 5-cut method and then the dial-in method.

Dead square.

Now I’m off to Europe for a couple of weeks and when I get back I’ll start putting cabinets together.
