That may not help with heating coffee, though. Where does it get air? Is there enough air infiltration in the blind that you won't suffocate?
On another note, I finished the cabinet for my table saw. I set the saw and the frame for the fence on it and aligned them together so that when a piece of wood us cut, there is ~ .004 difference in width from one end to the other (3' long). That's considered serious overkill in the wood working biz. It's easy to get that accuracy, so why not?
Yeah air no prob in blind. There slight gaps on all windows.
4 thou is waaay overkill for wood. You get that much swelling with humidity.... But yeah - why not if ya can?
Oh, I agree it's overkill. But I build wooden chests that I want the drawers to fit in very well, as in not rattling from side to side when opening or closing. I account for swelling due to temperature and humidity by selecting quarter sawn wood, which is the most stable grain configuration, and run the grain of the drawers and carcass in parallel. Everything expands and contracts at the same rate, so that the drawers fit nicely in all seasons (such as they are, in California).
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
