After doing mainly ply and face frame stuff, wanted to try my hand at all hardwood and glue for my fourth project, no nails or screws, other than the ones in hinges. It is all solid teakwood (local) finished with matte oil based polyurethane, applied with spray gun.

Gotta say I enjoyed every moment I worked on it, from picking the wood, ripping, planing, glueing all the way to to finishing.

There were many firsts for me on this, first time making panels and shaker doors, took my time and tried my best and it came out better than I would’ve expected.

Just loved the way everything turned out and wanted to share with y’all since I don’t see much teakwood on this sub and I’ve learned a lot just scrolling through this sub.

Couple years ago I got a Karcher VC2 for tile, has been perfect until last week it just became obnoxiously loud even after deep cleaning, out of warranty and its not worth fixing. I have a big DeWalt stealthsonic and its quieter than the VC2 ever was, works as good on tile, so I've been thinking, can I just get a 5 gal stealthsonic, thats just barely bigger and heavier than the karcher, throw a HEPA filter and a canister style hose/handle/tile tip on it and just go? I know it won't quite be HEPA rated but is there any other con? Or should I just get another canister style vacuum? Honestly I would just get another VC2, but DeWalt is on sale and I love the one I already own, feels like its a better/more lasting overall product too.
