Well, while the saw til sits at a slight lean back....I wanted the front of the door vertical/plumb, as I have a few saws to hang on the door.

Cut one of the 1 x 4 x 6' planks in half....stood one straight up, and against the side of the til.   marked a line for the angle, and another for length...Mitre saw cut the plank for length, and to cut the plank in two....then the bandsaw made a cut..

Wide end is the top of the door....other board will be a stile...something like this?

Need to move that tablesaw back where it belongs, instead of right in the way at my workbench....

Boss wants to go shopping..so I guess I'll open the shop after that....

Stay tuned

About 3 hours in the shop today....plus taking the Boss out to Wall E World....sitting  here, having a cold one...might get up and get a second one?

had edges to joint...Stiles and rails to cut to length, and rip to width.  Jointer plane is a No. 6 Stanley..

Had the Stanley 45 cleaned up, and set up with a #14 cutter..

.

Stiles and rail got a groove plowed..always seem to find a knot...

Tested for fit with some plywood scrap...

 

Double lines?   first set was off a bit..

.

Had to re-align   joint is a half lap, and has a mitered corner...when viewed from the front..

This is what you'll see...lot more glue area than a simple mitre joint..got all the stiles and rails milled..

Then cut the plywood panel to size...then the real fun began....fighting clamps that wanted to slip back off....gaps needed closed...corner checked for square..

Yes, it was square... Made a lot of use out of the bandsaw, and the 3 Mitre Boxes...

This when parts were too long, or the angle was hard to cut...

Cross cutting 90 degrees, and short piece mitres...will let this mess sit overnight...add the "collar" and hardware tomorrow....maybe see about hanging a few saws in the door?

Stay tuned..

Because I earned it....may go for a second one..

 

 

Alot of work for 3 hours.  Have a 3rd round, you earned it!!

 

Clamps came off today...and nothing moved.

Used a Parts Trimmer to cut the top and bottom pieces to length..

Top one needed a bevel made, to match the side boards..

Follow the shavings,.....

A Stanley No. 4c...actually, a No. 12-004, Made in England....just like the ones Paul Sellers uses.

Then clamps and glue...hinge side..

C clamps seemed to work better

This is the bottom of the door.  Spring clamps were just the thing.  F style clamp to pull the sides to the bottom.

And the latch side.  4 small f clamps across the top. 2 more to pull the sides into place.  Let this sit a while....while I figure out how to hang 4 saws

Like an Atkins 24" skew back, or...

Sheffield (Atkins) rip saw.   and..

Something like this?  Without the square sitting there.  May add a pine strap across to fasten any hangers to...plywood is 5/16' thick, BTW.

 

May reinforce the corners with screws...and cover with plugs...maybe.

 

Stay tuned.

Glad I viewed this before I took my medication.  Might have gotten dizzy.  

Halfway through posting this, lost the internet.....because set up of a new modem took a while to do....might be the cause of that extra photo...happened right when I was posting that picture...

Only thing missing is s shop animal.  You need proper supervision and approval before moving on to next task or project.  It's compulsory.  

 

Have a couple....they sneak in through the crawl space vent, drop down into the shop....then, with a disgusted look at me, they scurry up the stairs, and meow LOUDLY until I let them out.  

ah yes, fun times

 

Used to have a tiger striped Tom that would lay on the bench. He'd wait until I was ripping at the saw and then, jump on my shoulder and lick my ear. The first time he did that it scared the crap outta me. He's long gone, now. The coyotes probably got him. Now, it's only the dog. She wanders in, takes a disdainful look at the mess, waits for her ear scratch and, leaves for more interesting pursuits. 

Hardware has arrived in the shop today..

Only needed one latch...may have another spot for the second one.   Black handle like on the Tool Cabinet, and a 30" Piano hinge...

other issues today....buy and assemble a new mower( old one isn't worth the repair bill)and buy and assemble a new grill, to replace the rusted out old one.   Then MOW the backyard Hayfield....

 

Test fit of the door on the case..

Had a bit too much lean back with the case....shimed the back of the case, until the door front was plumb..

Shims out in front to hold the door up, until the clamps can hold the door in place...latch location ?

Door front needs sanded down, and trimmed out.  May attach the saw hangers to the door from the out side in.   Then hang the Frame Saw to the front of the door...

I'm whooped.  Found out the OEM spark plug wires ( put on by Dodge,at their engine plant 2010)  need replaced....gonna call that mechanic up Monday morning,  and see how much replacing the wires will be...when I hand the set of new wires to him....#1 piston, random misfires...Check engine light came on.  Autozone to check it out....rather, they handed me the reader, then did the print out...so, I bought the new wires right there, under warranty through them.

Burgers and beer....burgers were cooked on the new grill...Got almost to 80 degrees this afternoon....I ain't ready for that, yet.

Stay tuned..might get a little something done..tomorrow?

Might check the plugs. 2010 probably due for them. Don't be surprised if the electrode is almost burned off.

 

Cabinet looks good. Started on my fan box mod for fan in finishing room. Half done.

When we replaced the plugs earlier this year....#6 was almost burned off.   Plugs are about 2 months old.    Wires...about 10 years old.

A new word added to our lexicon of woodworking lore. A saw tilT.

And, as Ozzy was wont to sing..."No more tilts.."

Waiting on the glue to dry.....

A block party?

And....

So true?

 

Edited May 3, 20206 yr by steven newman

Awwww shucks, Steve. That tilTed box was pretty neat. 

Just a tease, until later today...

3 out of 4 moldings are done..

Glued and nailed, too.   Will sand out all the marks...

Was a busy night/morning..

Hand planes were at work?  

Counter bores, screws to reinforce the sides and the corners...big circle is where a blow-out from the #45 happened....hit a knot about 1/2 way into the groove's depth....

Edges were rounded over with a plane...all glue joints cleaned up with a plane...couple spots needed glue and sawdust filler. 

Looking like a full day of sanding this afternoon....depends on how Monday morning goes...

Stay tuned...

 

Was a busy morning...then a Migraine ruined the afternoon...finally was able to do a little work for about 2.5 hours....

Monday..took two tries to get the last 20" long molding cut..good thing I had 8' to work with..

Glue and nails, and nail set...then try to make enough plugs for the counter bores...

Got all the holes plugged, trimmed flush, and everything sanded smooth

Hinge was next...lot of cussing involved here... But somehow managed to get the door hung...latch wasn't any easier.. but..

 

Then the real fun can begin...

Trying to keep the screws from going through to the outside...grrrr.  Hard to hold everything in place long enough to drive the first screw...

Other two weren't much better to do....using a metal "Keeper"

 

Swing them down to "engage", and...

Swing them up out of the way to release a saw. 

swept the floor, clothes into the dryer....called it a night...

 

Maybe add the Witch's Brew...before I hang the saw on the outside of the door?  Tomorrow?

Stay tuned..

Ok...the main problem with mounting ANY of these shop cabinets to the walls of the shop....there is zero open areas to use....also, the "walls" are Field stones, with a thin layer of "parge" ( thin layer of rich mortar trowelled onto the stones)   very rough, and uneven.   Any attempt to drill any mounting holes just flakes the top layer off.   Do I really want a wood cabinet onto such a damp wall?   House is a Rental....I'm not about to sink any money into framing out a wall.

 

 

Need to get me shoes on..and go and add a coat of the Witch's Brew....today.

Well we don't want you bored so grab some paper and draw up a plan to refurb that ENTIRE side of shop. 

 

Keep you busy at least 2 weeks.
