July 28, 201510 yr Got the narrow end thingy squared up, got the front footer squared away. Dragged out the slab of a top, ( two board glue up) and decided to try to level things a bit.. You'd think that a plane 3" shorter than that big #6c would be easier to push around....not. Got both faces flattened out Plane is a Stanley No.5-1/2 Type 17 Jumbo Jack same width as a #6, but is only 15" long. Got these flat, maybe a test fit of thingys? Just a few clamps to hold it in place, until I can do a few things with the tape measure... Will need a filler there to keep the top spread out above the door. Yep, the door will go here on the end. Need to make cleats to hold the floor/shelf. Debating on rounding off the corners of the top. Top had two knot HOLES, not just knots, these are through holes. Will make a plug to fill them. Router might get a workout later, as the Boss wanst a fancy edge....MIGHT have a bit for that. Going to be a Biggem...
