Traditionally, I build drawers with 1/4&quot; bbply bottoms that are dadoed in the drawer sides, back, and front up 3/8&quot;. This method makes the inside of the drawer at least 1/2&quot; less than the opening. My thought to save space, was to simple glue the 1/4&quot; bbply to the bottom of the drawer. It would be long grain to long grain, with no problem with wood movement. Does anyone see a problem with this?<br /> Tim </p> http://www.wwgoa.com/forum/topic/workbench-question#post-1793 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 19:46:26 +0000 Tim1 1793@http://www.wwgoa.com/forum/ <p>Hi, I have come into some 8/4 maple which I was planning to use for a workbench. The problem I am having is that boards are only 4&#39; long, but I would like my bench to be at least 6&#39; long. Would it be OK if I glued the boards together to get the length I would like and what would be the best approach to take to accomplish this task?

I started introducing wwgoa site to my friends who happen to be in love with woodworking, and they went nuts about it. We, my friends and myself, graduated from USA back in early 1980s so most of us have reach the age of 50 and started to look for something that fills our interest with joy and there&#39;s nothing like woodworking. George has opened the doors for us to enjoy woodworking and of course the whole team there in wwgoa but because we see George all the time doing the episodes thus became a very famous person among us&gt; People might think what pushes rich people like the Qataris to do mingle with wood instead of buying the finished products off the shelves with ease? The answer is the smell of the wood dust, the noise of the router it makes, the saw cutting the stock, the scroll saw making the puzzles stuff, the drill, .... and the list goes on for ever. Every time George introduces a new episode we jump right away to watch it and apply it. We even buy the same products or tools he uses in the movie clip. The amazon.com is a great place to buy them and all it takes is four days to get it to Qatar. Many people here in Qatar love woodworking but there&#39;s nothing to to make them know each other better than spreading the legend (George) news. Now we talk about tools, projects, and many issues pertaining to woodworking and if we need to know anything we don&#39;t know we jump to wwgoa.com. George and company....THANK YOU for the making things easy for us and we extend our appreciations to all members of wwgoa.</p> <p>Ahmad Buhazzaa<br /> Doha Qatar<br /> P.S graduated from Seattle university in 1983 majoring in mechanical engineering. </p> http://www.wwgoa.com/forum/topic/table-saw-extension-mdf-or-34-plywood#post-1768 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 01:41:24 +0000 jwsailor 1768@http://www.wwgoa.com/forum/ <p>I am looking to make a folding tablesaw extension table for my old Craftsman contractor saw. I plan on adding a ten inch extension to the saw itself to get past the motor which hangs in the back of the saw. But then I want to add about a 35&quot; fold down extension to the ten inch fixed extension. I plan to make it out of two layers of 3/4&quot; MDF or plywood with the top out of formica laminate. I have read that MDF has the flatest surface and will not warp. However my local big box hardware store has cabinet grade 3/4&quot; plywood for the same price. I am thinking the plywood would hold the hinged hanging portion of the folding table better than the MDF, but not sure how flat it will stay. I need some advise on this please. </p> http://www.wwgoa.com/forum/topic/addirondack-chair-plans#post-1766 Sun, 31 Mar 2013 17:11:04 +0000 dndwood1 1766@http://www.wwgoa.com/forum/ <p>Saw the add for the Adirondack chair video series.

Using water based poly is my finish of choice due to faster drying time, more limited flammability and durability. What I don&#39;t like is that it doesn&#39;t bring out the color and clairvoyance of the wood like oil based poly does.</p> <p>I know you can use water based poly over oil based poly as long as you sand the first coat just as you would when recoating with oil poly. What I can&#39;t find, is how long after the first coat of oil based poly do you have to wait until finishing with the water based poly? </p> http://www.wwgoa.com/forum/topic/garage-kitchen-cabinets#post-64 Wed, 21 Apr 2010 15:30:49 +0000 Member Comment 64@http://www.wwgoa.com/forum/ <p>Jul. 17, 09 - 02:18PM </p> <p>I am going to make my own cabinets (3&#39; high by approx. 27&quot; wide by 18&quot; deep) for the garage (just like kitchen cabinets).
