The Hungry Saw

I regularly get "we don't know anyone else who will do this" projects. This particular one is stair tread ends that stick on the other side of the glass railing panels so the treads look like they go through the glass. The mounting system should fit in the indentation but the installer ended up using an extra bracket for reinforcement and the indentations were not deep enough. Also they weren't centered so the bottoms needed to be milled out further.

So it's a matter of making an appropriate jig in order to get them done as quickly as possible, because neither the tread installer nor the glass installer wanted to deal with figuring it out.

Usually when my wife has a gift idea she commissions me to build it, but this time I figured she could do it herself, with a little guidance and a jig or two. So cute! (And I don't just mean the project.)

A simple refacing for a bathroom that confirmed I shouldn't reface this particular style of cabinet, which I have encountered once before. The cabinet face is made of plywood, and there are no sides or back, because it's just built into the wall like trim. This particular one had things coming loose or sagging, and some pieces were really crooked, so the whole thing felt like putting lipstick on a pig. But after paint I'm sure it looked pretty good.
