1 hour ago1 hr Now that the bench is cleared off. These arrived soon after..along with a plan, of sorts..Those yellow stickers?So..Laid out the first couple of parts I need to cut..Then more figuring things out..and lay out and cut one of the end pieces..Recently sharpened this handsaw, might as well give it some work to do...Got both ends cut to length, almost...but, since I do not have a Chutting Board...Those yellow stickers needed to be removed, so..Stanley No. 82 took care of that detail ( sticker USED to be inside that red circle..)Needed to split one of the longer pieces..D is for Drawer front..drawer is to hold the fence, rods and cutters for the Sash Mortise ( weather strip) plane..cut line was a bit wavy..we have ways..Joint them until they match..Next time in the shop..I need to connect the back corners to start making a box. I do not like them HUGE dovetails Paul Sellers used...mine will be a bit smaller..So, sweep the shop..And call it a day..Stay tuned...Oh, IF that plan looks familiar..Because I have built a couple over the years...this one was for ..Was to house a set of Chisels... Like these dovetails better?
45 minutes ago45 min BTW, I see those HF chisels. They aren't anything beautiful, and the grinding on them is off kilter, at least on my set. But they work just fine. I built my bench mostly with those, and used them a while. Replaced them with the Aldi set, which they don't sell anymore.I think they are a better chisel than the HF ones, but it ain't really the tools, it's the guy using them. MHO.
