June 24, 20188 yr Popular Post Going to try to get that 3 drawer dresser built...BEFORE July 18....Went and priced some lumber today. Not counting the plywood..right at $40 for the pine boards. Three 1 x 10 x 72, three 1 x 8 x 8' and eight 1 x 2 x 8' Pine boards....sides and top to be glued up panels, take doesn't take as long as a frame and panel build would. Webframes into sliding dovetails in the sides. Face frame on the front. may add a bit to the top panel... Now have a pair of Cut-resistant gloves...son brought home a pair from the glass factory he works at. Waiting on Uncle Sugar's Army to pay me my monthly allowance...then maybe a week to build? No pictures, just yet...that will start when the lumber gets here...stay tuned..
June 25, 20188 yr Author have to wait until next weekend on the Pine. Decided to try and resaw some scraps into a fancy-schancy box... Did NOT go well...got to the point I even tried this thing out.. Was too much like work. Turns out the lower (drive) wheel on the bandsaw needs new bearings.....IF I can get the old ones out. And IF I can even find the new ones... Well, today, decided to clean the scraps up....with a #5 and a #4 plane.. Mix of Ash, Maple, Oak, and Cherry....had to build a jig to hold things still had one more piece of Cherry.. Was a tad long. so it was cut into two roughly the same length halves, then a try at ripping them, to see if a thin strip could be done.. Seems to be burning just one side of the cut? I have some 1/4" panels I can put to use.. And a larger panel I can get a lid out of.. Have already ripped along the glue line....may turn the lighter one into a side panel? I also swept the floor, again.. Well, the can WAS empty, before all this happened, today. Closed up shop for the day, after I dug up the model number on the bandsaw No. 113.27350.....Emerson built, 12" Craftsman Bandsaw. NO...buying a new saw is NOT an option right now. Will see IF I can get the old bearings out, find out what they are, and find a place that sells them..locally. Maybe by the time the Pine gets here, I will be ready for it? Stay tuned...
