Re: Saga of the Sofa Table - Maggie's Drawers ...

Very nice, Two big ass honkin DT's.. Is the 1" thick stock?

But I wanted to see Maggie's Drawers.

Those are far too precise, sir. Pfffft!

Wow, thick drawers. Are those specified in the Stickley and/or A&C style, or do you just prefer a beefier drawer?

The drawer sides are 3/4", but the drawers are short and wide (2 1/2" X

IME, 3/4" drawer side stock lets you bury a ~1/4" ply drawer bottom in a

The above notwithstanding, I do prefer 3/4" drawer stock for all drawers, and I do build a lot of drawers on occasion:

Yeah, they're only 1/16" thick ... and cheap.

Or how about Maggie without her drawers

Exquisite!

Looks good, you have to love the simplicity of the Akeeda Jig, I'm surprised they have'nt done better. I have a stock of spare parts just in case.

I figured they were either 3/4 or 1".

So these are your close ammo drawers? I see. ;)

Aha! The truth finally comes out.

But -red-? I know, I know. The other colors are different thicknesses.

I also have an older Leigh D4 that I've just about plumb wore out down through the years.

Although I'm much more experienced on the Leigh, and still have to refer to the Akeda manual, the fact that the Akeda makes setup between uses a breeze is a big selling point. Being able to mark the locations of the fingers in a precise and repeatable manner was worth the entry fee.

I too have bought up some spare parts myself, just in case ... it's not always the better mousetrap that wins.

Sometimes it pays not to fix what ain't broke ..

Red?? Really?

Ayup. RTF card they came on, son. ;)

I doubt there's an industry standard... who knows, maybe there is. But it would cool if all manufacturers would make their shim/spacers of equal size, the same colors. I know the tile spacers I use all have size/color coordination. No matter what the shape of the spacer, all the ones of the same thickness are the same color.

Don't need no steenking colors, Bubba. Those of us, to whom color is totally irrelevant, know how thick they are just by looking. ;)

So how thick is pink? 3/16"

REAL men don't do 3/16.

I measure mine with a micrometer. It's the only way to be absolutely sure!
