Second, thank you for the tool recommendations! I’ve never been quite able to manage a circular saw; I’ve always found them too heavy and unruly but I bet with the guide, it changes everything. And I keep meaning to get a Kreg — someday! Lastly, thanks for the great sawdust/glue idea. I am definitely going to give that a whirl. Thank you so much and I’m so thrilled you’re here!Flipping the Fliphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15227745256321418042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977598181264970040.post-394409934164903442018-01-17T19:27:10.163-06:002018-01-17T19:27:10.163-06:00I love your blog and just got to your most recent ...I love your blog and just got to your most recent post, after going back to the very beginning and working my way through. As a woman who loves all things building, DIY, and tools, I have a couple of recommendations for you to check out, specifically because of your bathroom cabinets. First, a circular saw/track system. IMHO, Festool makes the best and I have one, so even though the price is a little high, I can't recommend this tool enough. Even when I had a fully equipped woodworking shop, tablesaw and all, my Festool was my go to when I had to cut sheet goods down to size. I believe DeWalt also has one of these and probably at a better price, and DeWalt makes great tools, so their saw is likely just as good as Festool. I just got mine before anyone else had one on the market. The second tool is a Kreg pocket hole jig. For cabinet construction, it's the bomb! You could screw together boxes like your cabinets in a jiffy! And the screws actually hold better than if you are screwing into end grain or the edge of sheet goods. And these are super reasonably priced. As for stainable wood filler, I never found any I thought worked, but a slightly better and vastly cheaper solution I use occasionally is mixing fine sawdust(like from around your miter saw)with regular yellow wood glue until you have a thick paste, then shove it in the holes. Once it dries, the glue is clear and the sawdust will sort of take a stain. But you might find that to be a moot point if you check out the Kreg pocket hole jig.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03436569437082485926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8977598181264970040.post-50681482100516468992017-06-02T09:23:20.835-05:002017-06-02T09:23:20.835-05:00Thanks Tania!
