"Making an Under Table Storage Area" Page 4

It is hard to put projects aside for new product reviews and hospital excursions, but I did and now bring it out to finish. Why? I need it and I need the MFT top to be off my worktable. I neglected to add another "excuse" for this tardy project and that is a hard disk crash — 27,000 pictures recovered but under one directory — yikes. Anyway, Sal shows up in time to cut shelves for both sides.
	He uses the new Kapex to make quick work of all the uprights.
Lisa is in the shop so we use the time to take the under cabinet forward a notch or two. She poses with the tools we would like to have "at the ready" in this cabinet.
	Sooner or later Lisa was sure to find out that I can make a mistake — in this case, ordered 16" slides but needed 14". Did I say that she works for my local lumberyard as their kitchen designer. A solution was only a phone call away.
A couple of weeks ago I displayed a new product from Woodpeckers — the "Story Stick." (see Woodpecker Website.) We have had opportunity to use it a number of times when building cabinets. The more we use it, the more uses we find. In this case, Lisa uses it for marking where Domino tenons will go. This white melamine particle Core board needs all the good joining techniques we can use. Dominos and glue will work well.

	This is Lisa's first look at the Domino System. She made a few practice holes and then went to town making the mortises for the uprights.
She has set up a mini-Domino work station on the MFT. She has things clamped so that she can make the Domino mortise without the piece moving.
	She tests her first joint — "spot on." She will remove it and dry fit the whole assembly when all the Dominos are done.
The uprights are in place in her dry fitting, but she won't start gluing it together. It will be much easier if we wait for mounting the shorter slides and then assemble.
