Sometimes things line up. A day off + nice weather + new supply of lumber means I will get something done. I moved my working platform outside, since the goal today was to cut all the plywood down to small pieces needed for the next cabinet project.

While it looked nice out, it wasn’t quite as warm as I had hoped. But I added a layer and closed the garage door so all the sawdust wouldn’t blow back inside. Swirling winds had the dust going every direction.

All of the sheets and framing material ready to go. The sink arrived today as well!

The top and bottom cabinet carcass frames are done, while the cabinets side panels are glued and being pressed together. I used two 1/2” sheets for each side so the cabinet will be sturdy. I learned from previous cabinets that the 1/2” plywood is too thin by itself to attach materials to, hold screws well and resist warping.

After a day of cutting with the new track saw, I am completely impressed by how easy it is to make very straight cuts now. I think I watched a dozen review videos of all of the different saws. Like most tool choices, you can decide to spend infinite dollars or be realistic and choose a budget based on how often and for how long a tool will be used. I bought the WEN corded track saw which I think is pretty near the least expensive choice. I added a 48 tooth blade. The saw has worked perfectly. My only regret is not buying it last year. Live and learn.
