But in this hand plane example - I can't think of a power tool that I could do the same work in the same amount of time and have a better result (or the same result for that matter - a sander would be worse..) --- End quote --- Well a jointer, However they are incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands, and have sliced the fingers off most shop teachers...But get what you are saying, Nice work. |

A sander (or preferably sand paper on a hard sanding block) would have been my second choice BTW... However - the hand plane is faster and cleaner than sanding. |

Oh yes I see...For some reason I thought that was taken apart, yes the hand plane would be quite awesome for that then. 8) |

Small update today - but at least its a milestone.. I made the leg leveler blocking about 1/2" thicker than the original. The screws in the blind nut go through pre-drilled holes into the bottom and there is a little glue to hold it. Once the feet are in place - they will not be able to retract to the point where the plywood can hit the floor and get ruined.. again.. To line up the hole - hold the blocking in place from the inside with the leg leveler. This made it easy to screw in too... Here are the old shattered edges of the plywood. They are actually worse than this looks... Cabinet back on its feet for now - I have a few more dings to fill and then I can prime/paint. |

Wow! VERY good work. That looks amazing. I did not know something like that could be done. J_K_M_A_N |
