But that would solve several cutting issues, if I began hand-resawing some of the larger timbers, just to get manageable pieces onto the table saw. Cleared the table, finally getting to a small folding table for vending; got the frame rabbeted, will glue'er up crack of dawn. It's legs will fully fold into the base but the table may be height-challenged. Some college kid will want it next to the bed. Yes, some of them do outgrow milk crates but still want portable. Here's the crafts output for the 'week': A pile of smiles 'll be coming my way. Thad, HARO50, steven newman and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Woodman Posted October 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 The Bahcos got here today. Nice scrapers, and with the exchange rate, only $10 each delivered. Shipped perfectly burred. Medium-carbon steel, I think. Swedish steel, made in Portugal, by a French company Cut it a little too thin. .035" according to the caliper. I pushed a hole in it. But she's hanging in there ... A freebie bonus to a Saturday buyer. Found a couple NOS on the bottom shelf of a cluttered hardware store. Non-marked, but USA-production. 20% off. Started cutting into this old old floor joist. Likely early 1800s. Thought it was poplar. But am now thinking ... White oak? VERY heavy, dense wood. Ideas? We're cookin' now, mamma!
