Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

Then I measured the new piece, and we are looking at about .737", or not quite 1/16" different than the other piece.

Just enough to make a big difference when assembling things.







Just annoying to me. It's not catastrophic, as I can work around it. I just wasn't expecting that.

Bring out the dial calipers.

I measured the plywood bought previously.











Thickness for 3/4" plywood comes out at about .690".

After building the first set of drawers and cabinet frame, I wanted to add on the rest of the setup from the left.

In the meantime, I needed to purchase another piece of 3/4" plywood, and that's when the trouble started.







Right there is why. Different thicknesses. My plan was to leave about 1/16" between the plywood and the 2x above it, and then add a shim to make up the difference.

Oops.

Here's a pic of the cabinet setup I am doing. Everything from the arrows to the right are part of one cabinet setup.

Everything from the arrows to the left are another set.







So, why is that important?

Wahoo! Finally had just a little time to work tonight. Here's the bottom drawer for the next set.

It's just sitting in place, as the slides are not yet installed. This is just a point of reference.

Once the slides are installed, it will look like all 3 bottom drawers are the same heiht, when in fact, they are not.







I have a few more pictures of work I did tonight, but don't really have the time to post them, so I'll try better tomorrow night.

Happy weekend, everyone! :)

Must be an epidemic for computers, I have had to restore my main Lap-Top and the Desk Top. This Tablet is the only one with no issues so far. The Lap-Top is a PITA as it has some programs I installed in 2015 when it had Windows 7 on it and I can't find some of the install CDs and the registration keys. That computer was placed on the fast ring before I fully understood the implications. about going back. Lesson learned.

Yea, if you don't keep the keys in a "safe" and recognizable place, they can be a little rough. Most, not all, programs can be downoaded from the mfg's website.

Sometimes the mfg will have them if you registered the program when you bought it, but frequently, most people don't.

Looking forward to getting some more work done this weekend, I hope! Lol.

This has been a tough week for me. I keep getting call after call for computer work, and have been unable to get anything done on the moho.

I think I am getting dug out and hope to get back to work over the weekend sometime.

On the bright side, that does provide some extra funds for moho parts! Yay!!!

Thanks for the posts.

This is where the drawers are going. The purpose of the "goofy looking drawer" is to make this area like all the drawers are the same height.

The bottom drawer is only 6" deep, but the face is 13" to match the other bottom drawers.
