Popular Post steven newman Posted Sunday at 06:51 PM Popular Post Report Posted Sunday at 06:51 PM Because..I have this mess to clean up.. Leftovers from other project...and some that will need to be tossed out.. And a couple that need a wee bit of work.. First step... Set the fence to rip down the wider boards..as I can always glue things up into panels.. And, sort through the worst of the mess...like these 3.. FUBARS? Or.. These 2 were not worth the effort to fix.. I also chose not the resaw these.. Raised the saw blade to full height..fence was set to 9/16" and then I ran a bunch of parts through, usually having to make one pass, flip the part over, and finish the cut...also had to keep track of Blade Tilt, as it started to move a degree or too....but.. Anyone liked their wood Spalted? Going to be Drawer fronts, Later... These are the "Keepers" Saw even needed a cool-down...was working hard, today..? Ya think? Red saw blade will be going back on the saw, later today....was a wee bit warm, yesterday.... Waiting on Moose & Squirrel Express to deliver "PLAN" then glue up 4 panels to surround 3-4 drawers? Stay tuned.. Harry Brink, Fred W. Hargis Jr, Gunny and 4 others 7 Quote

Popular Post steven newman Posted Monday at 02:33 AM Author Popular Post Report Posted Monday at 02:33 AM Switched out the saw blades...went from a rip blade to the 40 Tooth Diablo blade...started cutting things down to rough length, and trying to square a few ends up.. 4 Drawer fronts, 4 parts each for the 2 sides panels.. Enough for the top and the bottom panels... Edges needed a bit of work.. Jointed them...and some needed face planed... Got rid of the rough stuff, and get them closer to 9/16" thickness... First panel.. Thinking this will be the Bottom Panel....parts for the Top Panel were next... Needed a place to stash each panel out of the way, for now... Top Panel, Bottom Panel, and one Side Panel...the other panel? Can sit here overnight.... Figured that will do, for today.... Stay tuned lew, Harry Brink, Gerald and 2 others 5 Quote

Popular Post steven newman Posted Tuesday at 05:07 AM Author Popular Post Report Posted Tuesday at 05:07 AM Working in the shop, on a Monday? Hmmm, should be interesting? Drawer Fronts...before.. Needed a trim..so... 4 Drawer fronts....set these aside for a while...4 panels were "de-clamped".. Need to be all the same width, and NOT tapered... Then needed to square the ends up...the top and bottom panels needed to match...and the 2 sides as well.. Next..just plane work... Started off with the V&B No. 704....seemed a bit big..switched over to both the No. 62 and.. The Stanley #3..also started to mark panels as to "Inside" ...Front...Back...will help out later.. This will be the bottom of the case..and.. Had to adjust the jig a bit, as the Top and Bottom Panels are a bit shorter than.. The Side Panels... Made a royal mess of the shop, today... "Clean-up! Aisle No. 2!" Swept this mess up, and called it a day..feet were getting a bit crampy... Stay tuned.. Harry Brink, lew, Gerald and 2 others 5 Quote
steven newman Posted yesterday at 02:18 AM Author Report Posted yesterday at 02:18 AM Wasn't much going on, today..so....changed out the blade in the Bandsaw...took about...5 minutes or so... Next Item...bring out most of the tools I'll be needing.... Too cold for the Shop Fan...but, will make use of the Shop Stool soon enough Tools? Most were to do lay outs for Dovetail Pins...and a saw to cut with...2 other tools came out after the saw was done... Chopped done about halfway, left a porch for support...flip this board over.. And finish chopping out the waste...I do the Show Face first, to prevent "Blow-outs"..then finish up the inside face. Used these pins to lay out for the tails....Just stand the pin board upright, trace around each pin with a SHARP No. 2 Pencil... Then, that the tail board over to the Bandsaw, and test out the "new" blade.. All done on the bandsaw. Then a 1st dry fit was attempted.. Had to use a mallet to seat it into place...will need a bit of fine tuning? And that was it for shoptime, today So..the Plan here? is to dovetail the other corner. Next use that drawer front blank to space out drawer dividers, and find out how much to trim the 2 long sides...and then dovetail those corners...Blank will need trimmed a bit... Stay tuned..
