Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

FAILURE!!!

We have a failure. Bummer....

Back to square one as they say, although, I have never found out exactly who "they" are. Lol.







My ear broke off again.

Well, I did get an additional 2 weeks or so out of it.

Time to try a different approach with the same uv glue.

Should...not necessarily will. Can't see it from my house. :)

Professionals prefer Stanley. They are known for their precision and durability. When two or more people are involved in manufacturing which requires each to cut a part of a finished product and using different tapes the finished product is not very quality.

A 1/32" off here and a 1/16" off there has an accumulative effect on the whole assembled product.

The 'rule (pun intended) of thumb' is to use the same measuring device throughout the project. Regardless of the accuracy of the device, everything should fit when finished.

Here are the sides for the drawers which is enough for 8 drawers.

So far, I have only created the slides for the two upper drawers.

I have not cut the front and rear portions of the drawers yet.

That will be coming up next.

Then we end up with something that looks like this.

The red arrow is pointing to what will be one of the drawer sides, with the female portion of the slide cut into it, and the male slide inserted in it.

Then I started cutting the opposite side for the slide.







Say What?????

Why didn't I just flip the board and make the second cut?

I prefer to index the cuts off of the same side of the board, or in this case plywood.

If there is any variation in the width of the board, just flipping the board, will not create parallel cuts.

If you keep the same side against the fence for both cuts - both cuts will have to be parallel.

After cutting the first side on the four that will be used on the two 4" high drawers, I moved the fence.

I started cutting the male portion of my first set of drawer slides today. Here's the beginning of the first side.

Then we have trim, which covers those cumulative effects! Lol...
