Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?
- Thread starter mimico_polak
- Start date
Need to call some Polaks with no future to take care of that for me.

Yeah I want one but I rarely have the need for one, so I've never bought one. You are right though a multi tool would have got this done easily.
For this cut I used a jigsaw for the verticals, and the good old Bosch mini chainsaw for the horizontal.
I didnt think anyone other than ave owned that thing.Yeah I want one but I rarely have the need for one, so I've never bought one. You are right though a multi tool would have got this done easily.

Yeah I saw it in an AVE video and bought it in like 2018 or 19. I've used it probably half a dozen times, and it works but not that well. It's like if a sawzall and a multi tool had a baby with a learning disability.
Its hard to buy - they only sell it in the EU and the batteries are different then the ones for tools sold in the NA market.
I want a mini chainsaw. I have no use for one…but I want one now!
There are better mini chainsaws. That bosch micro chainsaw is a toy and not all that useful.

Put your half empty bottles in the centre. Full ones outside. Thats all I got.
As you've found, thats to wide of a span for glass shelfs. We've been asked to do that span a few times. We refuse.
Maybe replace the glass shelves with painted wood ones.
If he can get wiring through the structure, underlighting each shelf could look ok. If he cant get wires there, it will get really dark.
I had a plan for a previous friends place but I doubt he ever did it. Bottle locations with a pressure switch to control an uplight. Placing the bottle turns on the light and illuminates the bottle. Could be cool with the right bottles (and easy to see level). Complete crap for red wine and a few other boozes.
What a way to go.
In a previous house I built a big glass front booze drawer. I used four high-capacity drawer glides to make sure it took the weight. Wouldnt do that the same way again. Drawer was suspended between two independent cabinets. What a prick to get everything lined up.
They are making some rediculously good undermount drawer slides now that take phenominal loads , its changeing the way furniture is designed.
Sadly the Blum version has about 28 holes for various installations and they publish a guideline for installation , and I still see them with 2 screws in them.
I've seen glass shelves done with a stainless steel channel along the back edge fastened every 4" to take some of the span load , shelf slides into channel , looks pretty unobtrusive , but you need to plan for that prior to the install

2 solutions.Yeah I’m really not digging the thought of a glass/plexi support in the middle though. I was thinking somewhat of a thin metal or two bar that would go underneath the length of the shelves but haven’t found anything.
The upper liquor shelf doesn’t bow as much because half the bottles are only half full
1. Get the glass guys to do it correctly.
2. Invite a bunch of us over, we'll lighten the load on the shelves.
Both solutions should be free,the latter eill be faster.
He may still have an issue with depth of the shelf. He could easily have hundreds of pounds supported by tension in the glass. Thankfully he doesnt have that many boozes on the shelf.
It's been a long time since I tried to dustd an establishment. The last time was unsuccessful as they heard we were coming and stocked up. A whole lot of drinking but we couldnt clear them out.
I’m in! We can make short work of that collection. And IIRC lots of space for tents in the back yard for stumbling after.

Extruded aluminum channel works the same way. Any glass door place will have it.

2 or 3 3/4" #8's they will never move. Go through #%# loads of tandems a month.
I really like those low root flush head blum screws , I dont use them often but I have access to a 5x10 cnc , (and a guy that can make it go) so I give him my gables , he drills for the tandems , its so nice. I order maple dovetailed drawer boxes from Distinctive in Kitchener, they set them up for tandems , boom done. I can dovetail a dawer by hand , and own a huge Porter dovetail jig , but they make a perfect spaced drawer and it doesnt take three attempts to get it right .
I'm starting a quarter cut white oak vanity for the powder room , I feel like I'm cheating but Heldman in KW will veneer the panels in size so zero waste, We have a small pile of solids left from when we had a hardwood business ( long story) and the bottom drawers will come from Distinctive , they will custom wood them if I supply the wood . I'll make the two doors so i can claim I made it, there a rail & style bit set buried in the cellar somewhere
