August 13, 20223 yr Popular Post This weekend is going to be busy, chores chores and more chores follows by dinner with the in-laws. Hoping that Saturday night I can get out to the shop and figure out the problem with this old Delta joiner. I adjusted the leading bed when I replaced the blades just to have some working room and now the beds are not co-planar. the in-feed side ramps up to the blades so when things transition to the outfeed side the workpiece lifts slightly. I am going to have to go through, rip it down and adjust the gibs or make some shims to see if I can fix that issue. Providing I can get that resolved I have a workbench top to work on and a workbench base to get sorted out.

August 13, 20223 yr Popular Post Ah those are the inspiration for the “Don’t try this at home” thread I am pretty sure i know what needs to be done to fix the issue, and speaking of fixing issues… I had a moment of inspiration this morning and faster than you can say ‘get a round file and chuck it up in a drill’, the knockdown hardware is finessed. It is amazing to me how tight the tolerances are on the knockdown hardware and everything has to come together just so to get them to thread… Anyway all is well that ends well. I don’t think those are going anywhere but if they ever do, then the plan is to pull it apart, drawbore it and pin it in place. Next up… sorting out this joiner…
August 13, 20223 yr Popular Post All righty then, joiner is sorted. The gib screws for the infeed table had become loose at the bottom allowing it to droop which was causing the issue. Pulled it all apart, cleaned the screws and everything lubed it all up adjusted everything and tossed some blue lock-tite on the gib screws to prevent that from occurring again. Joiner is back in business with sharp blades so lets see what kind mess we can make for the top of the workbench

My chop saw table came out better - and faster, because it actually got done - when I salvaged a larger chop saw bench a fella had dismantled and gifted to me. Last week's projects were many. Another folding table, four more little tray boxes. Moved out a bunch of older stuff at the weekend vending in the park. Working on another little table now, my first lap joint top (milled on a table saw). And several more small boxes. All of the clamps? With enough glue and clamps, even my inaccuracies can be overcome.

August 15, 20223 yr Popular Post Oops, wrong clamping image. This one is more dramatic. And the other, I crosscut a piece of tight-grained scrap. Then glue the pieces together to make the base of a small tray. After scraping, sanding, then scraping again, the grain pops out nicely. Go on, click it to see at 1100px. "In the rough" now . . . AND lastly, on Friday I went to my old nemesis, InternationalViolin.com Called Denny to confirm manufacture of products. Ordered a new 32tpi fine kerf ZONA and an assortment of Micro-Mesh variety packs. Buffing sticks and pads - the assortment, which is 9 each 1,500-to-12,000 grit. I'd robbed my 'truck-kit', a handy luthiery kit for nearly any simple repair, so buffing sticks go back into it. And backups. And backups to the backups for the tools and supplies cupboard. While vending my crafts Saturday, I buffed a six-sided angular crosscut chunk of longleaf pine from 220 to 12,000. I'll get a few pics in daylight this week, but WOW, 'Hands To Work, Heart To God' + people walking by are more likely to slow down to see what I'm doing. And this piece is glowing. Looks like it has a perfectly applied coat of Rubio Pure or Super-Oil, but it is all buffing. Sometimes I scrape after the last buff. Depends on the wood.
