February 2Feb 2 I think I see the problem. Try renaming your image so that the name only has one “.” And ends with “jpg”. No quote symbols
February 2Feb 2 Author Popular Post Floor board was installed,....Other end was repaired, and the wall was installed...The ONLY thing I changed....went from plywood to Plywood in the file's name...strange.Need to cut a floor board for this end....and start working on webframes for the 3 drawer to ride on.....on a Monday? What could go wrong?
February 2Feb 2 Author Second floor board is now installed...Need to build the drawer dividers/ webframes first ....then install the back of the case...then install the dividers..That is/was the plan...for tomorrow..we'll see..
February 2Feb 2 Popular Post Awesome! I'm not sure how I missed this one.That Spalted Ash(?) is going to be screaming gorgeous. Mrs Bandit should be well pleased. She's living in the lap of luxury.I love seeing that #5. My #5 is my best friend. I need a longer jointer plane, maybe a #6 or #7, just can' find them in range of my wallet, lol.Sweet work, Steven.
February 2Feb 2 Author Will see how today goes....Need to build web frames for the 3 drawers to slide on...Stay tuned...
February 2Feb 2 Author Popular Post Some boards, you just can't get to work..And...this was the "Good" face..The look down along the edge..Like looking down a County Road...( as soon as I figure out WHERE the Fire Pit is in the back yard...that will be this board's new home...Repair work going on...and the other floor board is installed..Will trim that out, once the glue has cured..2 planks to the shop...needed cross cut, and ripped ,and resaw...6 stiles, and 6 rails...the rails connect to the stiles..With a tenon into a slot...so..12 tenons...I was going to use the tablesaw to mill a groove...did not work out..so..Set this up to mill a slot...I also have to allow for a Dovetail "tail" on each end...I think THAT will wait until tomorrow...Stay tuned..

February 3Feb 3 Author Popular Post Seems the outside cats have taken up residence in the crawl space under the house..as the Casa del Chatto is rather ice covered...so..And, in their rush to get here...their fat bodies knock a few things over..BTW...that panel with all them c clamps on the ends...is to be the Top of this Sideboard Project....I thought I'd haul 2 spalted planks to the shop, today...in hopes I'd wind up with 3 Drawer Front blanks.....wrong....by the time the nasty stuff was removed..the 3 were too narrow...by almost 5-6".....trudge back upstairs and grab a 3rd plank...cross cut the widest section out....rip into 3 pieces...and start gluing one to each drawer front...Here is the first 2...the thrid one?Is still sitting in the bench vise/3rd hand...will let these sit over night..Changed out router bits...tried to get the slider jig to move...was a bit too tight...dovetail bit is buried halfway into the fence...The front 3 stiles get a dovetail "Tail" on each end...the 3 for the back do not...Waiting on the drawer fronts, now.....as I need them to help lay out where the webframes will go...May stop here...and see about 2 panels for the Doors...and the frames to hold them...at least get the 2 door panels glued up...Will see how things go, tomorrow...need to go out and buy 3 1 x 8 x 8' pine planks...for the sides and the backs of 3 drawers...Stay tuned...
February 4Feb 4 Author have 2 panels in the clamps at the moment...they are to be the Raised Panels in the 2 doors...Not sure IF I have enough Ash to build the frames around them, to build the doors....Also need to buy a few 1 x 8 x 8' Pins boards...drawer sides and backs...3 should be just enough?
February 5Feb 5 Author Popular Post 2 panels in the clamps...Gonna be sitting there a spell...This board..soon became this mess..Stiles for 2 doors...when I can get back to the shop....needed to resaw a few other boards..But..somedays...compost just happens...when one gets in too big of a hurry..And fresh DNA winds up...everywhere...3 hours in the ER..Look at the shirt...left thumb got 3 stitches...right thumb needed a few more, as he had to sew a flap back onto the thumb...Looks like I will be taking a break from the shop?

Not good. Thankful it wasn't any worse but this is bad enough. You best be taking a break at minimum a week AFTER the stitches are removed. Take care and prayers for a full recovery. The project can wait and we definitely can too.
February 5Feb 5 Popular Post Sorry to hear about the mishap pal. Sucks!!!My boss would suggest you shake that off and get back to work though, I'm just saying.....😁 Edited February 5Feb 5 by Gunny
February 5Feb 5 Popular Post Man, Steven, so glad it wasn’t any worse. Take time to heal and we will be here for the rest of the project
February 5Feb 5 Popular Post Yes give it time to heal . All that will be right where you left it when the healing is done. AND you can gather thoughts on the next project.
