Thanks, Han!
... I've been testing various naming conventions for bringing my old
90's 1.0 website into the 21st century by converting it into a possible
"blog" (plus perhaps more exposure on G+ when it's opened to brands),
and no better place than here, where some more woodworking content,
albeit slightly rehashed, will hopefully not be amiss. :)

I don't mind being reminded of previously published nice woodworking
stuff. I still need hints at what can be done, how it should be done,
and how it looks ...
I am in the process of constructing a wide (77") and high (32") window
seat with a step in front of ~10" wide and 12" high. The darn thing has
to also be storage and (steam heat) radiator cover. Spouse induced me to
use left-over pieces of particle board and melamine parts of an old
bookcase for the 5 uprights (1 in the middle for support and 2 times 2 to
flank the radiator). There will be cushions on top of the thick pegboard
seat (with pine moldings for support and show). But now I have to find
ways to make the openings for the air circulation presentable, finish the
edges of the uprights, and make doors for the storage compartments, a way
to make the step able to flip up to access storage under it, etc. The
whole thing also needs to be put together in situ at my daughter's, and
it'll be about 7 times too heavy to transport as a single piece.

Cute. But what's with the concept?
End tables/nightstands for a hutch? Go figure.
P.S: I like the scale. Height and setback are just right.

Check your G+ incoming ... just +'ed you in a post, re: window seats. I
really like the way this guy does them:

There are a number of shots in a row, just keep clicking.
(I don't know whether they will show up to those not on G+, they should
if they've been posted "public")
"Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die..."
Like I've said before, C-Less, I just build'em like they want, don't
color them, don't ask too many questions, just put my head down and
fulfill the contract.
> P.S: I like the scale. Height and setback are just right.
I designed the original, so it damned well better be!
Thanks! Just kidding! :)
G+ is really turning out to be a cool place for those interested in
woodworking, eh!

Thank you!
Although this was "by request" in this case, it is also my personal
preference (I always ask).
I've found that on FF cabinet's, and for "knobs" that's where most
people want them, and where most trim carpenters will place them absent
instructions to the contrary, for cabinets in other parts of the house,
bath vanity, etc.
IOW, centered in the square made by the junction of the stile and rail.
On Euro style cabs, since it's often a "pull" rather than a "knob", I
generally center on the top of the door, in line with adjacent drawers
if possible, thusly:
What I like about this approach is that it give you a "clocked" looked,
much "clocking" the screws in a piece of fine woodwork.
This can be a real touchy thing to some clients, with some firm ideas,
so prudence is the better part of valor, and not something I would take
for granted.
I've never seen the pulls done that way. I am not a cabinet builder
but spent lots of time in cab shops and of course every home kitchen.
I would find that confusing, looks like hugely deep drawers. Yes, I
would ask first.
When-the-hell did you have time to do THAT?
NICE!
Done which way? In that bunch of various kitchen photos, there are
kitchens with many different knob/pull configurations, all done in
accordance with the client's wishes.

Those are not my projects, they are another cabinet maker on G+ "Douglas
Heffner".
If/when you sign up, circle me "Karl Caillouet" (or gplus link in sig

OK Larry describing some ones hard work and effort as "cute" is gay.
How do I know this, I had a gay neighbor that described my work as cute.
;-) I know you did not intend to be but when you are on the receiving
end it is kind of insulting.
Look GREAT!
Remember all the stops oe the way up to Austin or was that the Deer
Blind? ;~)

Oh, pleeeeeeeeeeease, Sister. You'll soon have me crying.
Wait a minute, isn't liking an unscary table saw gay, too?
Are you trolling, sweetie? <bseg>
P.S: I'm hetero. Can you confirm that if you go BI that you double

Swingy hears it often, after he finishes a job for a female client or
maybe even a guy who's not afraid to acknowledge his feminine side.
Compared to the massive hutch, the little side cubes were "cute" in
comparison. I think he has enough confidence in his fine work that he
doesn't need to hear accolades for every cut he makes in wood, either.
Karl, tell him. You didn't get offended by that "cute" comment, right?
> Karl, tell him. You didn't get offended by that "cute" comment, right?
Not a'tall, C-Less ... Leon was just pulling your leg. He'll do that. :)
LOL I think it was the mother of these two pieces on that particular
trip. Can never have too much rope, or tarp.
I'm about ready for a trip to Taqueria Chihuahua myself.
I just looked at the first pic that came up, a shot of the sink wall
and I see what look like deep drawers under the butcher block top but
I assume are the cabinet doors you spoke of with handles at top of
door set like a drawer
>Larry your are a hoot!
Jewelcome.
I was not at all intending to be mean Larry. Your comment just reminded
me of my "different" neighbor that still lives with his mother.

No worries. I'm odd anyway, so that kind of thing doesn't bother me.

The big one at the top (under the butcher block) is a garbage can
pullout, and the rest are drawers.
The only doors on that run are the two under the sink.

I could use a day off, we should drive up there one morning just for
breakfast. ;~)

Fitting, especially at a duck blind, deer.

I've been off pork for many a decade now, but when I was partaking, we
used to go down to the little taqueria across town on Sunday mornings
for fresh carnitas tacos, complete with fall-apart pork, chopped fresh
cilantro, and freshly diced serrano chiles on a pair of soft, hot corn
tortillas. MAN, those were good. Hmm...I'm getting hungry for some
of those again. I wonder if any of the Mex restaurants here make 'em.
