ChrisK Posted April 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Thanks guys i found this recipe in my utility drawer. I wrote it down so long ago that my last girlfriend had added some stuff to the back piece of paper. Two batches, one without walnuts, one with. And another batch in dough waiting for Monday to get baked. Wow. I haven't baked in over a year. Good down in the shop though! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Well @mohawkdec they were made using genuine Festool flavored chocolate so I am thinking about $47.54 each. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted April 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 John, I was going to use some tiger maple I have but I ended up going poplar for ease and cost as I may be selling our home or staying, if we sell I want to make it as easy as possible but keep the high strength of the the hardwood. I'm not sure about painting or staining. The problem is if we sell, the buyer will wa t this painted to match the cabinets but if we stay, I am going to rebuild all of our cabinets I which case I will be going with a combination stain and paint. So, long story short, beats me dude but poplar paints really easy. The case is made with high quality Baltic birch plywood. The inset piece in the doors is a 1/4 Baltic birch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have erotic dreams of it though! Seriously though i have the DF500 which my wife bought for me for a wedding present. The machine is awesome. It'll do up to 10mm thick dominos for super strong mortise and tenons and you can double them up. If we decide to sell our home and we buy a larger house with a barn I'll probably get the XL as having the ability to do really big tenons would be a nice feature. i bought a couple of accessories for this machine including the Seneca Domiplate which is great for stability when the tool is not on a table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was going to build something, Id just go down there and pick whatever wood was the cheapest, then slap something together, cause I really don't know my woods man. Thanks Protool, not really but I try! The poplar is a great wood as its in the hardwood family but is easy and relatively cheap to work with. Plus it's easy to paint if you decide to go that route and Home Depot and Lowes normally have it in their select piles though I try to get it at a local dealer. Not a very figured wood and in this case my wood has the poplar green tinge. I figure it's okay, if I do the whole kitchen over no one will notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I could see the cabinet grade plywood. But the lighting was throwing me off on the species of solid wood. At first I thought maple but in the last pic you could see it was birch. That's why I asked if you were going to paint. Looks good Chris. I hope which ever way you decide your happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about dressing up the base a little with some moulding then putting the decorative legs on. I tried a sampling of Danish oil in cherry and fruitwood but my wife wants them darker so I'll be heading over to woodcraft and getting some walnut toned oil and give that a shot.nthen armor seal baby! Then???? Then I can hang this bad boy up and fill it with all sorts of crap and potatoes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted April 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 No pics today but finally finished the cabinet doors. Waiting for the hardware to get delivered but picked up a nice thick piece of maple to turn the legs on. The cabinet shelves are done and sander. I might try finishing tomorrow wth a Danish oil and some armor seal. Looking good! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisK Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Well, I rough turned the legs. They need to be finished then I'll mortise in some rails and attach to the bottom. The new hinges should be in Monday so definitely making some progress! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisK Posted April 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Just came up from the shop. Finished turning the spindles, block planed the squares now I've got to carve out the corners. Might add a rounded cross piece. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
