Cabinet door panel out of 1/2" Plywood, can this be done?

Remind me not to shop where you shop. My 1/4" oak ply is usually within a few thou of 0.250 inches. OTOH I just did a set of drawers with 1/2 oak ply (for strength) by rabbeting the edge to fit in a 1/4" slot. So far so good.

A woodwork newbie. Issues setting up workshop in non-airconditioned South Florida garage?

I had an garage shop in Kissimmee and really did not have a problem with rust. I kept the tools waxed and ran an 18-20 inch fan constantly. Currently I have a separate shop building in the Ocala area and have the same results using the wax/fan. Good Luck. MikeG

Barn Lumber

As a long time user of recycled wood, I suggest that you hit it with a shop vac, belt sander, shop vac, and metal detector. If you suspect metals, do the detector first. This process gets rid of the dirt and other impurities before you touch your blade to it. mahalo, jo4hn

New DIY Website

It's early days yet for this site and there is a limited number of items registered which is why your searches are showing no results. As more items are registered this will get better.

outlets per circuit question

When I built my wood shop, I leap-frogged the circuits around the shop so that adjacent outlets are on a different circuit. The lighting should be on a separate circuit, although this may not be required.

Anyway here another place to check for for a factory shop manual (no affiliation): http://www.faxonautoliterature.com/ Erik BTW, if when you ever buy a new car, as part of negotiations, get the dealer throw in a set of of factory shop manuals.

Spacers, tubing with very thick walls?

The guy who ran the set shop and a shop smith. They spent probably 75% as much on that thing as they would've spent on separate power tools. They guy spent probably 75% of his time changing the thing around to its different configurations.

Estate planning for woodworkers

I have created a list of the major stuff in my shop with the minimum price my wife should accept for each, assuming neither of my kids wants the stuff. The risk in this, of course, is that she may sell out my shop to get her car back in the garage. Larry

one file handle done

Yes - nice to have a old convection oven in the shop for shop work. I cook welding rods and cook rings to fit metal and wood. On metal, the inside part is cooled and the outside is heated. Metal - Slip it down a shaft and then into a ring area - trapped ring. Martin
