I need to change the cabinet art on my #TSPP but do not have a lift / table cart, so was wondering if I could use saw horses? I was thinking of grabbing some metal saw horses, lifting and placing the table on top of the 2 horses then going to work.
Can anyone suggest a way to do this, or some horses that they recommend? Thanks!
You might have trouble with the sawhorses getting in the way when you get near the bottom lip of the cabinet.
I just use a mechanic’s creeper. It’s small enough that I can get to the edges and I can wheel the cab out of the way easily. I use wheel blocks to keep it immobile when I put the cabinet down
Quoted from mikespins:Thanks guys.
Anyone ever use horses?
Nope. I've restored over 100 cabinets and everyone was done like rotordave.
Hi restored a lot cabs and sawhorses are too high too work on best I find is blankets and put cab on that easy for sanding and installing decals ,sawhorses are good for painting it

Thanks. Blankets on the floor?

Yes best for taking off the old decals and sanding and installing new decals ,saw horses are great for filling ,painting
Quoted from mikespins:Thanks, will try that
Np when installing decals after prime and painting but down blankets so doesn't get marked
Late to this topic, but I use sawhorses for all my cabinet prep. Cabinet on the ground is too low and hurts my back being hunched over for extended periods of time. Decal installation IS done with cabinet at ground level with moving blanket.
Quoted from epeabs:I built a couple of these out of 2 x 4s. Each a different height. Put locking wheels on them from Amazon. They work awesome.
