July 19, 201213 yr  Not every day that I can get out there, so I make the most of it.  Sharpened a few irons, re-habbed a Handyman set of handles, Turned a couple front knobs out of Black Walnut, Made a tote for my KK7 out of more of that Black Walnut, Built a little TV Table, and watched a couple Thunderstorms roll through the area. The Knobs?It is dusty because it got put to work. Still needs a finish, and a little sanding, but it does fit that KK7 nicely.  Since i always turn two knobs, a Union #3 got a new knob as well.  Lumber is Black Walnut. The KK7 also needed a tote on the rear deck.   A Stanley pattern didn't work, this is a Union style base. Fudged around until i got something that would fit, and shaped it down to fit my hands.   Still needssome more sanding, and a finish...As for the whole picture?The reason this ( and others) are so dusty?  This one got put to work, as a Jointer Plane.   I jointed five boards for a glue-up, got them into the clamps, and started tapering four legs.  I laid out the waste area on each leg, and bandsawed the waste off.  Then it was off to the leg vise on my "new" workbench.  I used a couple planes to smooth the tapers, with a Parts Plane doing the final pass. Tapering the two inside faces.   Top came out of the clamps, so the planes gave it a work over.  Two jacks went at it, then a #6, then the Partsplane#4.  I cut the tenons on my tablesaw, and then chopped the mortises to match.  The table came together after a bit of clamp time...Just some old barn wood.  just enough to hold that TV...Nothing fancy, unlike that table i see every time I come in the front door.....at one time, long ago, this was just an oak pallet someone threw out...

July 19, 201213 yr Author  There isn't anything better than to walk around ankle deep in wood shavings.    If I can get out there again tomorrow, I will take a camera along.   That floor was deep in shavings. The new workbench got a workout as well.   Iwas using it to plane items all day long.  About 8 hours worth of work got done.   Still need another 8, but there is always the weekend....
