Any wordworkers out there willing to help a brother out?

[sixstringsteve]

I'm building a set of drawers for my van. I'm copying this setup.

http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/47516-LATEST-PROJECT-Truck-Drawers-Sleeping-Platform


I sold my table saw a while back, and it's the only piece I'm missing for this project. Does anyone here have a table saw they'd be willing to help cut some pieces for me? I'll bring the pizza.

This is the step I'm stuck at:

I have the wood I need for the drawers, but I'm unsure how I want to join the frame at 90*. I'm thinking a dado or even simple butt joints. I'm open to suggestions.

Tools I have to do this at home:
skill saw
band saw
hand sander
router (not set up in a table right now)

I'd love any advice and/or tips, Living a minimalist life doesn't lend itself well to projects.

Awesome, thanks. If I can't find someone closer I'll probably take you up on that. Thank you. Are you set up to do dados?

I have a portable saw I'm not using right now if you want to come pick it up.

 

[moab_cj5]

We can do dovetail, box joints, dados, whatever you want.

Awesome, that's definitely worth the drive. What evenings are good for you?

 

[moab_cj5]

My time depends on the week. This week I'm open Tuesday. Next week Tuesday or maybe Thursday. I'll send you my number and we can work something out.

steve, you are always willing to borrow my table saw. You return stuff.

Good thing you're not an English teacher.

HAHAHA. Awesome!
Although, I am sure Steve is always willing to borrow my table saw.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Hey, I'm willing to borrow it.

apparently I english suck at too.

 

[sixstringsteve]

while I swing by to borrow it, do you have any blue coils I can borrow too?

Any wordworkers out there...

Seems like a fitting title to the thread...

 

[sixstringsteve]

Hah, great catch! Fat fingered it again.

 

[moab_cj5]

When are we finishing this up?

Hah. I won't put you through that abuse again.

I've got 4 of the 6 drawer slides working right now. I'll have all 6 done by tonight, then I need to make the inner drawers and latches and catches (still not sure how I'll do that part).

Wow. Overkill much on the bearings?

I'm happy to help. I'll have time Thurs or Fri nights this week, or Sat afternoon. I have had a few ideas on the catches for the drawers.

This entire thing is overkill.

I really appreciate the offer, but i feel terrible that I stayed so long last time. I think I'm almost caught up on sleep now.

I was thinking of doing the latches like a house door, with the spring-loaded doohickey that goes into the plate. I just don't know what I'd use instead of the doorknob.

I sure like the way arb does their handle/latches. I wonder if I could find a similar part.
