June 14, 20196 yr Popular Post One good yard sale this morning...dodging rain squalls all day long... 12" level... small marking gauge for a dollar.....then went to a friend of mines, for a stash of Ash, again 20 pieces...and a 7/4 x 6 x 3' slab for a new saw handle....$20... Will try to get the Single Brain Cell Sketch Up back on-line...and see about a new desk to set this computer on... Average length on these boards...6'.....some longer, some shorter....4/4 x 6 with one at 8-10" wide... Stay tuned...
June 15, 20196 yr Author Going to be a couple days....bottoms of both feet have splits in them....makes walking a bit painful...let alone standing around....meds are in place...may take a couple days to get healed up.. backsaw gets a new handle made.....to replace the broken one. Then maybe start on the new desk....IF and when I can get to walking again...

June 16, 20196 yr Author Popular Post Single Brain Cell Sketch Up is now hard at work.....rough measurements have been drawn up.....need to draw a set of "Plans" next.....all while sitting around with me feet in the air... Need 3 panels like this....only 30" tall, this time around.....raised panels will only need to be 1 x6 blanks...4 per panel/side.....then we'll see about frames for the insides....( these two panels were from a chest of drawers I made. ) Thinking drawer fronts can be made with that grainy board ... I think there is enough for the panels and drawer fronts....we'll see. Need to rip a bunch of 2" wide strips for panel frames....and glue up a 3/4 x 26" x 50" panel for the top....may get a bit of 1x6 pine, for drawer frames, and sides...no need to hide the good stuff inside where it can't be seen. May have to hide the Plans from Boris and Natasha.....
June 19, 20196 yr Author Shop has issues, right now.. Dungeon Creek. needed to clean off the tablesaw, too... And clean that saw plate up....tablesaw was the easy part... A little damp under it... And, needed to get the resaw toys out... As I needed to crosscut and resaw thay 2x chunk of hardwood... Saw plate? earlier, had given it a long soak in PBBlaster...which leaves a black gunky mess....wide chisel to clean the mess off, and a slight sanding.. Can even read the Goodell Pratt Co. Toolsmiths logo. even cleaned the brass as it came out of the handle.. Handle has..issues.....can either repair it, or..make a new handle....will be trying to do both... Resaw on the tablesaw..can only reach so far....ran all 4 edges through at just over 5/4" thick...bandsaw worked it's way through the remaining spot.. This is the "cut-off" scrap. The blank also had that burnt area....WR 62 to clean that up..need a pattern... Close enough...Both are Disston 4 bolt handles, for a No. 4 back saw/mitre box saw... So, in order to trace around the "pattern" needed to remove it from the saw....and find... I'm missing a little steel? Plate's etch matches the handle.. So...bandsaw to rough out the outside of the blank, and a Forstner bit for the hand hole.. Well, it is a start....drill mounted sanding drum, and a Dremel sanding drum, or two (detail work)....May take a few days...LOTS of shaping and sanding to do, then drill the holes, and the slot 7 mortise for the saw blade.... As for the "repair"? Dremel to "fair" things smooth, and blend things together...maybe a little filler as needed...we'll see. Stay tuned....
