Trying to put together a countertop with some shelves and cabinets underneath it for the IT department. Materials weren't approved for the project so I have to mill everything out of scrap. It requires very different thinking. I am getting good experiance with the shop tools. Making lots of mistakes... pretty steep learning curve. It is fun and there is a lot of experiance to draw on from the other guys and gals in the shop.
Trying to hide fasteners is a new one for me. That isn't much of an issue in formwork. But milling down the materials also allows you to cut everything down real straight and all the edges very square. The tools of the shop make it allot easier to set up jigs so that everything is the same length. Much nicer to put together than stud grade lumber.
Also... when you go to attach something you need to have everything set up so that you can put it all together before the wood glue sets up. Not the time to run around the shop looking for something.
