who has built a PERFECT box before?

[MrSwiss 10+ year member]

Even with a table saw you wont get the perfect cut. The last box I made, I had my uncle who is a carpenter for something like 30 years cut the wood on a table saw. It was **** close but you can still find flaws.
But I guess to the normal eye its about as perfect as it will get.

thats because its **** near impossible to rn each piece through using exactly the same amont of pressure against the fence.

The shop i work at has this huge ****in automated saw. it DOES make precise cuts...altho its metric, and everytime i ask the other guy to cut me some 4 inch strips.....THEY ARE NEVER 4 INCHES!

purple kush is over-rated.

real deal purple kush is not over rated imo. its quite the smoke. but again, to each his own. personal preferences are quite unique, and what i may find amazing, you may think is crap and vice versa.

however, it doesnt matter as i ****ed up the joke anyhow haha. i meant to post purple haze.

its an inside joke about purple haze being poisonous between bdawson and me. some kid claimed he smoked purple haze all the time and i told him his dealer will call anything with a purple tinge to it, purple haze just to get it sold (as is with almost all the purple strains, and even some that arent). then somehow it turned into me saying it was poisonous, and bdawson believed it lol. sorry bdawson, the cats out of the bag.

donpisto: 35-40 mins?! i might be able to do it in an hour if i used nothing but wood clamps, but there is NO WAY i could get even close using screws and predrilling everything, then assembling it to see if it fits, then taking it apart to glue and finally reassemble it. usually takes me a good few hours to get it done to just how i like it. i thought about buying clamps but they are like $30 each at lowes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

clamps?...pre-drilling? that's for people who use circular saws...LOL.

purple haze poisonous?...maybe if you used Miracle-Gro. just because it's purple doesn't mean it's a purple strain. i've had purple colored blueberry strains before.

pre drilling is for people who use circular saws? clamps too? unless your doing dove tail joints of something like that, i dont see how you wouldnt use clamps or screws. to snug the wood together.

i think the purple haze comment went over your head, or you didnt read it. like i said it was a joke. and like i said dealers will sell any purple strain as purple haze to make money...and then i also said "and even some that arent" meaning, that they arent naturally purple, but had purpled up for the cycle due to environmental circumstances, and will be sold as purple haze anywho.

A buddy of mine owns a sign shop, and has this giant wireless table router. It's basically a computer-operated drill bit that spins as fast as 24krpm and you can put whatever bit in it you want. We sit in his office and lay out the exact size of every piece including the sub hole cutouts, and it is accurate down to 1/1000th of an inch without burning the wood //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Takes about 10 minutes to cut everything out and then we throw it together! We made a pretty sick Alpine logo out of 4' of plexiglass for a blowthrough I did about 6 months ago as well. I'll see if I can dig up some pics. But tablesaws are the best way to go otherwise. Skilsaws **** fat hairy balls!

So what exactly constitutes a 'pro' grade? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i cant really afford a box built by someone else. most of my boxes i can get out of 1 sheet of mdf so thats roughly $25 plus wood glue and screws, and my builds arent that bad at all. my cuts are usually spot on, however i just have never built a perfect box, meaning 1 or two cuts are always off by just a smidge. i simply cant afford $1-200 boxes for myself. thanks for the offer though!

^^ That must be nice

no shit eh

 

[ngsm13 5,000+ posts]

I have.

It's tough, especially when you have to crank them out quickly. I usually would get them **** straight... and DA them to be perfect if I needed...

ScottieJ... now his boxes... his were PERFECT. Period.

When your playing with the big boys, they have to be though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm not talking about his walls or anything, even though they were sexy...

I'm talking about ones he built for locals and customers...

Then again, he had an entire cabinet shop at his disposal.

Excellent craftsman.

Not much really other than the tools used to cut and machine the parts and the people behind the machines with the knowledge to run them and the craftsman with the experience to build what is cut.

However, their are skilled craftsmen that can build just about anything given the materials their working with to what their building, but skilled craftsman doesn't wholly totally rely on machinery and computers to do ALL the work for them.

Unless were talking about complete hands off production millwork which doesn't required much thinking at all, just load of the machine, punch a button, the program runs, the parts are cut.
