Popular Post steven newman Posted June 16, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 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..... FlGatorwood, LarryS, p_toad and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven newman Posted June 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2019 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....
