Then it was time to drill and ream the holes for the hinge pins and that is where I ran into problem number 1. My parallels are .125" thick but the leaf of the hinge is only .0885". Plus I needed access to the hinge to verify it was held square. This is what I came up with and for a one off it...

Bit of an update. The prototype/proof of concept is done. I had two small pieces of 1/4"x3/4" brass in the scrap drawer. So I decided to try with that before buying material just in case I bit off way more than I can chew. once the pieces were to size I made a fixture to hold them while I milled...

The guy who built the one that is for sale really took the saying "a grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't" to heart. Though I think he skipped the grinder and went straight for the paint. I know the kit is a reputable brand but with those welds I wouldn't be willing to pay more than the...

I have vinyl tile on my shop floor got it all on clearance from Rona when I was building the shop. My shop floor is wood so I wanted something to protect the plywood. Only issue I have is I think they sold me the wrong glue. I have had many tile where the glue just let go and the tile popped...

Busy be makes 2 different 12" lathes one is the 12x36 gear head lathe looks to be quite ridged the other is 12x28 and is a variable speed bench top lathe. I assume the bench top lathe would be less ridged as it is lighter. I believe King Canada only has the gear head 12x36. This is all just...

The time for changes is now. Nothing worse than wanting to change things after the wood has been cut. I would even go so far as to do a mock up drawer front and lay hands on both nobs and recessed pulls and see what feels right to you. Or go to Lee valley and start feeling all their different...

Ordered up a 1/16" radius it will be here tomorrow. I needed a size right in between 1/16" and 1/8". I could probably have gotten away with either so I went with the one that can be here tomorrow. Now if it actually shows up tomorrow I will be impressed but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Thanks! There isn't quite the size I need but I would bet it's close enough to work. I am going to quickly play with the 1/16" radius and 1/8" radius in autocad and see what get me the closest. I can have it here for tomorrow so that works out great. Your timing couldn't be more perfect. I...

Cut your self a gear and then you don't need to modify the nut and then it is as original as it can be. Everyone knows it's not a real project unless it requires at least 1 other sub project first.:D

Looks really good. What program did you use to do the cad work?
