May 16, 20251 yr Author Popular Post comment_356345 Lumber Supply? Should be enough there..counting that other piece... All are supposed to be 1/2" thick.. Was down to the shop, today.. All that rain the last few days...The Dungeon Creek has risen..Might wait a few, until the place dries out a bit? Report
May 17, 20251 yr Author Popular Post comment_356422 And, that Fancy French Curve..since I seemed to have lost the Steel one.. That is sold by Chris Schwarz...May try a bit of lay out work in a bit... Report
May 18, 20251 yr Author Popular Post comment_356429 Decided to drag this old machine out, and clean it up.. Then a bit of layout.. Then, buy the time I cut both ends, transfer those lines to a second board, cut those lines, plane both edges to match the other 2 edges... Give everything a swipe with the #80.. I now have both sides of the New Spice Rack ready for Dados... Stay tuned... Report
May 21, 20251 yr Author Popular Post comment_356558 Went to the shop...merely to measure for the shelves...wound up doing some cuts.. A wider shelf for the bottom, was notched...and a finial was shaped... A dry fit was attempted... middle and upper shelf will sit in shallow dados... As for a back? These will need resawn, to match the other and last two 1/2"thick planks.. So I can glue this mess up into a panel for the back of the rack. Stay tuned... Report

May 25, 20251 yr Author Popular Post comment_356776 Picking glue off'n me fingers, right now... Out of the clamps, this needed a trim.. After trimmed square, it needed to loose a bit of width.. About that much from each edge....then a rebate was milled.. But first, it needed to be flat, and smooth...we have ways.. As for smooth, well... Makes things a bit easier... Tried a few dry fits, adjusted sizes as needed...until. . One of the dry fits to see how much the shelves needed to be in width,, Then..the cussing could begin And.. Bench Vise as a Helping Hand... Waiting on Glue to cure....there are no metal fasteners used, all glue joints.. Stay tuned.. Report
