  • Twin Kitchen Hutches #64

    by bricofleur     Sunday, March 14, 2010
    Finally, the construction of the hutch’s glass doors. To cut long boards on a tablesaw, the panel cutter is the safest. And if it’s well made, the cut wil be very precise and square. The blade must be raised so one full tooth will protrude...
