Poor Tom! He works all day, has two young kids, a wife/teacher who is off for the summer, storms brewing in the tropics and he decides to take on a built-in project! Is he NUTS! Here is Tom after our marathon cutting session in the 95 degree Florida summer:

Image

We've come a long way from there. The left bank of cabinets is in-place, screwed to the wall and the base. Tom did a fine coping job against the base molding. We've flattened the cabinet front where it was proud in a couple of places. The face frame bits have all been cut, pocket screw drilled, and the first part of the frame is assembled. It's been a lot more detail work than I realized. No wonder Tom looks so tired :-D Here is the progress so far.

Don't know how much more we'll get done this week. Tom said something about an anniversary... It's like he has a life or something :-D

SLOWLY but surely, we are making it!

There have been many lessons along the way, but wow, look Ma, no hands!

Uh, Tom... you're not supposed to push the festool with your nose man...

Seriously though, did you leave a monkey-shaped sweat stain on the bench when you stood up?

Nice progress, keep the pics coming- looks like fun!

Isn't it amazing how much detail work there is?

It's beginning to take shape. Looking good!!!

Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Better to be slow and sure than fast and fouled up. :wink:

Thanks Jim. If we're still working on this in Oct. we're going to be deeply in the weeds. That said, where are you going to be? Give us a call and we'll arrange a get together.

You two have been busy, and the heat just makes it a little harder. Keep it up and you'll be done before the temperature cools. Tom could be faking it, keep your guard up. Good luck with the rest of the build.
