[quote user="SpaceMouse"][quote]My background is building furniture and kitchen remodel work and I simply use "good" woodworking construction methods and materials for my bench work. Some examples (for reference only) are at" <P><A href="http://www.calanb.com/kitchens1.html"><FONT color=#3a4c96>http://www.calanb.com/kitchens1.html</FONT></A></P> <P>I retired from kitchen work in June of this year and got back into HO trains then (after a 13 year absence).[/quote]</P> <P>Nice work. I was in construction in a former life. I did a lot of finish work, but no cabinets except in my own home. Did a bit of furniture though--mostly for fun. Now I only work with wood when there is a gun to my head. But when I do, you can bet it is solid with no wasted effort. </P> <P> </P> <P>Edit. Alan, Did you screw it or staple it? </P> <P> </P> <P>[/quote]</P> <P>Thanks.</P> <P>Glad to see that you have time to re-join the group; your layout input is important. I hope that whatever has been keeping you away, has resolved itself and was not painful (in any sense).</P> <P>The RR benchwork is glued and screwed. About all I use staples for is "rough" work that will be out of sight and "to hold the joint together until the glue drys".</P> <P> </P>
