Buyer beware

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


Do not attempt to buy any tool from this guy.Name:Joseph Villarreal,Address:2926 s mabbett Ave Milwaukee WI USA 53207.
He appears to be a fraudster. He may go by the name ( @David Katz ) email: Davisnoir5220@gmail.com
BRIEF SUMMARY:During my search for a mobile base for my lathe,I was given his name by a member here that goes by Johnielse3. I contacted Mr. Villarreal at the email I was given,. He stated he had a mobile base for sale for $150.00 including shipping. Iagreed to purchase a mobile base for $150.00 shipping included. When I asked for a price and picture of this mobile base I was told it was already packed up and ready to ship. ( First red flag ) Having dealt with people on this site many times I decided to trust this clown and agreed to the $150.00.
I asked about payment as I have paypal and Venmo. He stated he had neither. I agreed to send him a money order since there are many older gentlemen on the various woodworking sites like me, that don't have paypal etc.. I have never had an issue with anyone on this site or any other woodworking site for that matter. So amoney order was obtained and sent with a tracking number, as he requested. He received the money order, but suddenly states he requires an additional $50.00 to ship the item because he was"told" his packaging was not good enough to prevent damage. ( 2nd Red flag ). After some conversing I finally agreed to pay the extra $50.00. Then he tells me "his Wife has pay pal and this was that paypal address:(brian.nowak1967@gmail.com )(3rd red flag). When I questioned that "Wife's" name he stated it was her "surname".
So when I checked with Pay pal I received a paypalmessage this was a "scam" and directed me to the section dealing with scams.( Final Red flag ). So to recap: first he says he has a mobile base to sell for $150.00 including shipping. 2) He states it is already packed up and ready to ship. 3) States he does not have Pay pal or Venmo, then later states he does in fact have Venmo and PayPal. Or at least his wife does. 4) sends me a pay pal address with clearly a man's name. 5) Now refusing to send the item despite the fact I made my concern clear and agreed to pay the extra fee only upon arrival of the item. I realize it is only $150.00, but in my mind it is the principle of it all and I wonder just how many other people he has done this to. SO buyer beware.

Structural integrity melamine shoe rack

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I asked a question previously about using melamine for a shoe rack and a couple of people suggested using confirmat screws. I have another question.

I was planning on making the dimensions of the case 4ft wide and 4 ft high with about 4 or 5 shelves. I had planned on drilling holes in the sides so I could use adjustable shelves, so the shelves would not be glued or screwed into the sides of the case. I had also planed on not attaching a back to the case. My question is will the case be structurally sound if I only have screws at the 4 corners of the case or will the case be subject to racking. Will the internal shelves help with racking or not since they are simply supported with pins in the side of the case?

I'm not wanting to have a back on the case to save money and reduce weight. I thought I could attach some corner brackets on the back of the case if they are needed. Anyone have any thoughts on this. The shoe rack would not really be move once it is in place in the closet.

Thanks
