Well...Mister Gumption finally caught up to me, there goes playing hooky for tonight. Had a few more grooves to mill.. Fought the grain on both of these....as for the third groove.. It was getting to be a bit of a stretch, so I dug out the cam rest, and gave it a test drive, too. The last two? I had to turn the blank 180 degrees, and come in from the other side.. The grain was a lot better to work with. Made that groove with just a single setting. Groove #5 soon followed. Time to make a holder for the shanks to sit in.. Marked out where each bit was, bandsaw to make a bunch of cuts. Chisel to knock out the waste, and pare things smooth. Test fit on the holder end.. Something like this. I could also mark where to cut the outside pieces at, and then give them a test fit... So I could see what needed trimmed where. Glue & nails, might as well get the glue up started.. Glue and nails, and a few clamps. Kept working my way around, had to trim a few places. Then a forest of clamps... Begining to think I should have done the first two this way......might have been a little easier? Tried out the bits.. Seems to look a little better? Still have enough pieces to make the fourth page... But....I think it can wait a day. Will need to change the cutter in the Stanley 45, first. The blank needs to be flattened out. Scrub plane then a smooth plane for that. Both faces. Yep, it can wait a day or so. Stay tune to this Batty Channel.....same Bat Time.

Way too much like work. Added the extra parts to one end of the holder blank. Set the blank up in the vise..then had to take the Boss to lunch and Walmart. Piece of a Sausage,Egg, & Cheese sammich got lodged in the wrong spot...had a choking fit. Finally got it out. Ok, set up the large brace with a large bit, marked a center line, and started to attempt to drill a few holes.. First hole went a bit sideways, next ones were a tad better. Trying to get that big-arsed bit deep enough.. Something like this. Found out real fast which drill bit needs sharpened, too. I was stuck using just two bits... Last two were with a smaller bit. Again one went a little off, second one was a bit better. Marked a few more lines, time for a saw, or two... Just an old Keystone No. 6-1/2. Trying to rip rip down the center.....got to a marked depth line. Put the big saw away, laid the block on it's side, and got a crosscut saw... Hoping the two lines meet where they are supposed to.. Needed to keep drilling, as the shank holes were needed too. The 16" long bits were a bit too dull for a brace, but not for a 1/2" corded drill. Some chisel work to improve a few cuts, ran a #11 (7/8") 16" long bit in the corded drill. Finally got things to where a few auger bits will sit in the holders.. Still have to cut slots, so I can lift each bit up and out. Going to need a LOT of sanding. Will have to think about this for a day or two....quarter of the way through the holder builds.... Time to just chill out, dry off, and sit the rest of the evening......too tired for a Beer run, even..
