So I finally finished the router cabinet today!!! About 50 man hours + later!
P.S. I will never shop at HD again even if it’s closer to my house
I went there to pick up some simple drawer pulls, saw the ones I wanted, there was only one type, one tub of them, one display…. so I grabbed 5 of them. Later in the day I installed the first one fine, installed the second and put both drawers in, took a couple steps back to see what it looked like…........... they were both different sizes!!! 4 of them were 3” and that lone ranger was 3 1/2”. I was a little mad to say the least!
This was the last project I do for awhile since it costed me a little more than I budgeted for and I will never start another until the 110V outlets are installed, having only one outlet was a pain in my back, literally!!
All I need is the 2 1/2” hose and I am 100% done!!
Thanks for watching, look forward to the next project

YEA…..... you did it…!!!!! Finally got ‘er done. It looks super, bud, and a fantastic build. It looks better than store-bought…lol. I know you are glad to get that job finished. But you worked hard on it, and the hard work paid off….Stellar job, Lance. And on the one handle that was longer, don’t worry about it. Noone would never have known if you hadn’t told us…...lol. It didn’t hurt the looks of the drawer, and no big deal…..At least they all match…..:) Once again, congrats on the build and finish…..Now take a rest, and get those wall plugs in, and you’re good to go…....What’s the next project? Get that new hose, and make some sawdust.

Sweet job bro. Looks like a show piece. I’m with you on HD. Not a big fan of their door hardware section. It’s a mess. Get those outlets done so you can make some more beautiful pieces.
