Sorry Drew but your post doesn't even deserve a response. Get some sleep tonight and maybe you'll be in a better mood tomorrow. ::) |

Read over the thread again. Specifically, see post #9. You'll see you're incorrect. "Cheap", "shipping costs" (price, again), "buy" or "rent" a router (price, yet AGAIN). The ONLY person who brought up price before he posted stated "I'm not really concerned about the price, but I thought I'd be a little different." (my emphasis added). It was a discussion of alternatives, attachment methods, ease of doing so, and looks. You yourself first posted on the looks of what you used, and didn't even talk about price issues. Your post on price issues came AFTER the thread was lead in that direction. The post that started the focus on price came across as a putdown for trying a new concept AND poorly researched/thought out, as evidenced by MameMe's immediate reply that t-molding costs, for him and others like him, WERE, in fact, quite high. Price became the direction this thread got pointed towards after his FIRST post, taking it away from the original title "tmolding alternative?????" I DO understand why price COULD be an issue to some, but to make an dismissive post as to why anyone would consider anything BUT the "ol' tried and true" and assume it's a cost issue is insensitive, close-minded, and irrelevant to requests about A-L-T-E-R-N-A-T-I-V-E-S Some of the posts are regarding the difficulty of installing the stuff, therefore, they're looking for an alternative. Those folks' primary concern IS NOT price. He bypassed those concerns and focused on the "looking to save money" angle. I found it foolish and derogatory towards people he had no knowledge of. By ignoring their concerns AND assuming they're just cheap might lead a person who is DYNAMITE in areas we have no clue in, to never offer his help or ideas to avoid being shot down in such a fashion again. I think it was irresponsible to add that post without pausing to think that there COULD be an alternative (and a GOOD ONE, at that) that he hadn't thought of. In his own words "I'm being close minded but I just don't understand the need for alternatives when the perfect, tried and true solution is right under my nose." That was taken from his first post, where price became THE issue. "Perfect" and "tried and true" ARE part of a close-minded statement, especially when the idea of the thread was specific in intent about "alternatives". I'm not against what YOU said, patrick, as you were explaining the REAL difference (as compared to the perceived difference in price) of the two bits. Your post didn't come across as "you're a cheapskate and if you don't go with my idea, you're an idiot". They were also added AFTER the thread was taken in that direction. I AM annoyed that on a board that has some fantastically innovative ideas, someone would wish to stifle further creativity and possible NEW "tried and true" ideas because of their own preconceived notions as to why someone is trying to do something. I've already given some ideas of things that have contributed to this community even though "perfect tried and true solutions" already existed. Here's one final one. Exchange tmolding and alternatives with mame32 and front end. Why does someone need to create a different front end when mame32 should fit everyone's needs? It's perfect. It's the "tried and true" solution. If you're not using windows, you should be, because mame32 is the easiest solution out there. If it were as you said, patrick, I wouldn't have posted my views against what he said. After looking at #9, you should see exactly what I'm talking about. Sitting idly by while someone says something like that allows that person to continue thinking there's nothing wrong with what they are saying when, in fact, it might be highly offensive to others. That's not something I'm willing to do. His remarks merited my response, whether you realize it or not. |

Oh my GAWD! Talk about over analyzing a post.Would someone please put a sock in his mouth ? All I did was ask a question because I wondered why some cab builders don't care for t-molding. I never put anyone down. For some ridiculous reason you're implying that I like to buy instead of build. You don't know me at all so save it. Nobody likes to see alternatives and new ideas more then myself. It just that something as simple as t-molding has been pretty much perfected. (again..just my opinion so don't get your panties all up in a bunch) If you have a better idea then using t-molding then by all means go with what you like. I happen to think T-molding looks best but that is my opinion and isn't written in stone. I never held a gun to someones head and insisted that they use t-molding. If I happen to think of or see something that would be superior then I would use it. Sorry but so far I can't think of any building material that looks better. If you can THEN USE IT ! (screaming drewkaree style) :P If anyone steered this post away from its original topic its you with your hot headed ranting and invalid accusations that have absolutely know credibility what-so-ever. Again..you don't even know me so save your long winded put downs for some message board other then this one. Someone needs to lock your "caps lock" key before you wear it out. |

Let's try to be nice. For anyone that used a router to make a simple "edge" instead of t-molding, what size bit did you use? I think someone mentioned 3/8"? |

Whenever I need a cheap tool for one job I go to Harbor Freight. They have a three slot cutters for 9.99 They're not the best tools but for one or two jobs, pretty good. |
