Cordless Tool Station
Week 4: Make the adjustable shelf and doors. Drill and install doors.
Overview Video
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Each of these steps should be worked on prior to our live session so you can bring any questions you may have to our live stream.
STEP 1: Make enough banding to cover the front edge of the shelf and all four edges of the two doors.
STEP 2: Cut the shelf to size and band the front edge.
STEP 3: Cut the doors to length and band the top and bottom. Carefully measure your cabinet and cut the doors accordingly for 1/2″ overlay and a 3/32” gap between the doors.
STEP 4: Cut the doors to width and band the edges.
STEP 5: Bore the cup hole for the hinges. If you’re not familiar with Euro hinges, it’s a good idea to cut a piece of scrap exactly the same size as your door and do test holes in that to make sure they’re correct. Start with a cup distance of 3 mm.
STEP 6: Install the hinges in the doors.
STEP 7: Install the doors on the cabinet.
STEP 8: Align the doors using the adjustments available on the hinges.
I'm disappointed that both the instructional video for this week and the live video (which I didn't get to watch live) glossed over the installation of the Euro Hinges. I've never used them before and this would have been a good chance to learn how to do it.
Does putting the casters at the midpoint of each side rather than at the corners make the tool/cabinet easier to move around?
I cannot renew for some reason. My account states gold but you discontinued it.
If MDF won't hold screws well, why can we expect screws in the sides of the cabinet to adequately hold drawers?
I also did not get an email for week 5 or week 6
Looking for last week class (week 5). Thinking I missed it somehow. Please tell me how to access. Thanks - Jay Stackley
