Wow, that is some serious roof planking going on there. That's a real nice part of the state!

Working on this jig for my dados and finger joints. Had a mock up I had been experimenting with I've used for past few months.  Took all back apart and off to finishing room.

 

 

How is this used for dado's It looks like an elongated miter gauge with a nice stop??

Saturday was spent working on the second day of construction for the theater set.  Got the outside sign done for that show, put some sides and risers on one of the props, attached trellis to a rolling platform (after adding wheels), built a 10x8 wall and attached to rolling platform.  Worked on six 2x2x6 towers.

 

Sunday had some meeting stuff to do.

 

Monday I got a picture frame put together.  Third try.  First was great until the last piece needed two more inches.  Found some more wood and tried to rabbet the back.  Ugh, it had twists and warps once the rabbets got cut.  To the kindling pile. Found a nice piece of cherry, did a profile, rabbetted, mitered and assembled.   One more to do.

 

And 500 pegs arrived for game boards I'm making for charity in Appalachia.  Reclaimed some unused stair treads. and cut them down to about 11x15.  Each board will have 4 hole patterns (two on each side) with a total of 7 ancient games from around the world.

• Felli Morocco

• Shisima Kenya

• Mū tōrere New Zealand

• Five Field Kono  Korea

• Bagh-Chal, Nepal (AKA Goats and tigers)

• Fox and Geese Scandanavia

• Sheep & Hounds  England

Never heard of many of these games. I used to play these when I went on road trips with the family. Kept me from asking are we there yet. lol Real nice of you to do this for charity, they say Karma comes around to all.

Works good for small box dados and such.  Mostly plan to do finger joints with it.  Stops will be helpful working with the ruler on top for setting up cuts.
