Router Techniques AskWoodMan.com In this video I use a flush cut trim bit to edge trim the top of the plywood box and banding flush to the sides. I used my farrier file to smooth the uneven corners before rabbeting. I use my Festool router to rabbet the back of our plywood boxes using a Whiteside rabbet master router bit. I talk about both my Festool and Makita routers. I explain why I prefer using the Makita for certain operations. You will see me demonstrating or discussing the following tools and machines: Farrier file, Festool router, Makita router, carpenter chisel, Whiteside rabbet master router bit, Whiteside over/under flush cut trim bit, Whiteside spiral fluted 1/8" upcut bit.

Plywood Boxes AskWoodMan.com In this video am going to make boxes with drawers to go beneath my existing desktop. This technique for building plywood boxes can be used for cabinets, bookcases, and anything requiring a box shape. This is the 2nd video in the How To Make Plywood Boxes series. In this clip I talk about the goals of the project and that I recommend creating full size drawings to avoid error. I like to draw on scrap pieces of plywood and then reuse later.

Hi!!
My next project is to update the kitchen cabinets. I plan to remove the trim strips, strip the carcases and restain and varnish the face frames. I will construct my own new doors and drawer fronts (perhaps the whole drawer). New hardware, different style doors (more of a craftsman style) and new color should look pretty good.

It is the sides of the cabinets that concern me. I don't think they are even oak. I think the cabinet maker used fir plywood and an oak stain. In any case, they are pretty scroungy looking. They are also not perfectly flat. I am somewhat distrustful of the thin veneers on the market. I can resaw my own veneer and have an 18" Rikon bandsaw for just that purpose. If I were to resaw a bunch of quartersawn oak into 8" wide and 3/32" thick strips, how would I stick them to the sides of the cabinets with any expectation of them staying put. Also, with wide strips of wood over plywood, what do I do about wood movement. Will my thick veneer buckle?

Finally, how do I smooth out the surface of the cabinet to create a flat gluing surface?

So, 4 questions:

1. Should I be so intimidated by the stick on veneers on the market?
2. How would I attach 3/32" veneer to the sides of cabinets without uninstalling them.
3. What about wood movement in thick veneer?
4. How do I create a flat gluing surface.

many thanks,
STEPHEN
P.S. I taught Industrial Arts for 8 years but never certified in woodworking. I was a plastics and metals kind of guy. I did get used to having those wonderful shops around for my own projects and have acquired some tools over the years.
