May 23, 201214 yr Well I have a project I have been working on in between my cutting boards. I am building porch swings. I have five to build and have got most of the patterns worked out on the first one and hopefully will get them going this week and weekend. I forgot to take pictures of the arms and supports, but I will do that tonight and post them later. Last night in the shop was working on slats. I have cut them 1 1/2" wide and will take them down to 1/2 thickness. So I had them standing up here as I was running them through the planner. I had already run one side across the jointer. Yep 30 of them so far. These are white oak from some of the wood stash. And here they are after taking them down to 5/8's I will do the rest at the drum sander with 120 grit. These will then be ready to trim the ends and put on the braces, ends and arms. I should have this one ready for finish this weekend.
