Quick question about T-Molding
<< < (5/5)
AMDman13:
Thanks wrench for clearing up the under and behind CP t-molding issue. I really appreciate it! I plan on buying the 1/16th bit and route next weekend. A few extra dollars, but whats 12.00 when I'm already buried in expense anyway! (Don't tell my wife) :D Heck untill then I 'll just continue to practice with the 3/32" on my scrap pile..

Today was a pretty good day. I finished the base with casters and installed the first side panel!

Thanks to everyone for the great input and feedback!

Hey Wrench how much did the laminate set you back?? I still think that it gives the best finish! I called HD and the estimate was about 80.00 for 2 4'x8' sheets.  :o

My hd didn't carry crap in laminates,I had a lowes that had a very limited selection.They didn't even have a basic black.lowes said they could special order any brand  or pattern I wanted  but it ran close to $80 a sheet.I wound up buying from

I bought 6 4x8 sheets, as I'm building 2 cabs.The 2nd being for my neighbor who was the one that dragged me into this project(that one is about to be started,my unheated Chicago garage is still too cool to work in,just right for beer though).Anyway the 6 sheets averaged about $45 a sheet including shipping.They sell wilsonart and nevamar brand and you can have samples of any pattern sent before ordering.I did notice something with the shipping prices.There are 2 thicknesses in the laminate.I ordered the thinner one,supposedly made for upright surfaces,the thicker one is  for horizontal surfaces.there is a big shipping differential between them.The thinner stuff I ordered came rolled up,I'm guessing the thicker one either can't be rolled or can't be rolled as tight,hence a larger package and more shipping costs.
