Drawer runner drilling jig.



Remember this you'll need it later.

See I told you. Pre drilling as many things as you can before assembly makes things go a lot faster.







Time to set the drawers and doors to finish the island.




This is a base I built while you wern't looking.



This consist of 3 cabinets, two panel ends and a back panel along with the base.

Looks almost as good as my Sketchup model.





If you use Sketchup and haven't tried Sketchup Viewer it is hand to have on a tablet or phone for shop reference.

Mark, you do the best work ! Good seeing you take the time to share your expertise ! Is your “new” Powerpro unit still getting it done ?

Yes Bill it hasn't given me any trouble and I use it for something almost daily. Love the power and smoothness!

It is so nice seeing these units come together. I hope you show them after the finish has been applied, too. They look awesome and I wish I had the skill to do the quality work you do (and your awesome shop).

I'll try to get pictures but 99% of the work that I do these days is for a larger shop. I build the jobs and drop them off to their finishing shop and they take it from there. I rarely get out to a job site which is fine with me!

It seems like Rev a Shelf changes these about every year or so so my old template no longer works with the new hardware.






No problem I'll just glue the new template to a board and save it until the next change.

Next step is to drill 1/4" holes in the template on the Mark 7 to accommodate a Vix bit.



And finally cut the notch in the template to align with the front of the cabinet.

Now we can drill for the Lazy Susan hardware.











The lower hinges have to be offset to clear the bottom tray.

Here I fit the backs but they will be installed after painting is done.




A little specility drilling for the doors.




No it just looks like a mistake!





This is called a bi-fold hinge.





All ready to install onto the cabinet.
