When your Dad owns a few you end up getting alot of that stuff. The full size Ronald is my favorite and it scares the kids too

They are are in the mail

Yes they were on sale from $7.99 to $5.99, they have pine and oak verisions, mine were the oak ones. Even at the $7.99 I thought they were a good deal but at $5.99 I just couldn't pass it up.

No updates really, I have a few things I need to pick up and get going on. I did add a handle on the cabinet door that I am keeping but that's about it.

First you would measure your opening and then you would add what over lay you want. So if you add 1 inch. to your opening measurements you will have a 1/2" overlay all the way around the opening. You were talking that you wanted at least 1 inch all the way around so you would add 2 inches to your opening measurments for both width & height giving you a inch all the way around. Then you need to get a hinge that will allow whatever overlay you end up getting, in this case a 1 inch overlay hinge. I believe the largest overlay hinge is 1 1/4".

Not sure if you had a typo or not but your above number is wrong,
Lets say your opening is 24" width x 24 Height and you want the 1" overlay on each side. You would add 2" to each Width & Height so you would order a 26" X 26" door. the 24" would cover the opening and an inch on each side the same goes for the height 2" would give you 24" to cover your opening and the extra 2" total give you an inch on each side overlay or overlap.

There is no real difference on the hinge except that the ones that mount to the inside of the cabinet are for faceless cabinets (another word trim less) cabinet openings. I personally would get the trim or face hinges but that is what I am familar with becasue I always add a trim facing. If you do get the faceless hinges I would assume you would have to add a nailer to the inside of cabinet in order to mount your hinge to clear your trim... unless the trim is flush with the inside cabinet wall. I couldn't tell from your pictures I have.

Cuzed2 - just noticed you live in chicago - whereabouts? That's where the dad owns the stores...Rosemont, Franklin Park, Bensinville, etc.

Okay familar with Palatine. He owns the one on river rd / higgins under the Rosemont "rose painted" water tower. I lived there for a few years myself (many moons ago) in franklin park & then in barrington/deer park. Very cool, small world.
Your HT is coming along nicely, following your progress and can't wait to see the finished product. The LED light your using, was that from the big box stores? Does it mount flush to the bottom or mount to the cabinet.

Yeah that area is booming, That's the area my Dad still lives (north of Rand Rd & Lake Cook area).

Thanks for the LED info. I need some for the cabinet I am building for my full size football helmets and think they will work. I'll go check out HD. Thanks again.

Mike, I went to 2 different HD's and they did not have enough of the supply that I wanted. I was not sure if I could get away with getting two or three different production runs without an issue. I know they are all uneven and what not but I was trying to find enough with the same production run. There is another 2 HD's I want to go to before I decide to mix & match.

Craig thanks again. I did pick these up this past weekend. They should work perfect.

Sorry, been busy with the kids soccer & gymnastics and yard work. I'll post some updates when I get a chance.

Thanks for the compliments Dan.
I used the .10 thick from a online supplier named storm copper. You could go a little thicker if your doing insert panels for the sides. .10 thick could be cut with house scissors but would dent easily or shows any flaws on the wood that it was mounted to. In my opinion If you are using for only the sides I would goes with a thicker gauge. If I was to redo my top I would also goes with a thicker gauge now.

It's been awhile since any updates but i've started back on the theater and trying to finish the rope lighting in there. I did order some more copper sheets to do the top of the kegerator so I plan on doing that in the next couple of weeks. I need to get the basement pole stained and clear coated all of which will be done shortly. Updated photos to follow.
