May 16, 20251 yr Author Popular Post 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?
May 17, 20251 yr Author Popular Post 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...
May 18, 20251 yr Author Popular Post 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...
May 21, 20251 yr Author Popular Post 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...
May 21, 20251 yr Popular Post Good progress on "The Project for May-Part Deux" Never mind my comment on the "What's on your workbench" forum. I remember now you've already started a PIP thread for this project. My brain keeps slipping off the tracks.
May 22, 20251 yr Popular Post Tracks !! You have tracks in yours ! Mine just wanders and does a lot of reverse to find what got lost.
May 22, 20251 yr Author Popular Post Busy morning? Resaws.. Laid out.. Need the edges cleaned up... Finial has a Rebate going on.. To house the back panel in.. dados for the shelves have been milled...dry fit .. Shelves fit, but are a blade width too long, and a bit too wide... Picking dried glue off of me fingers...

May 25, 20251 yr Author Popular Post 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..
