A little work in the shop. Work nights, so this is MY day time. Almost lunch time! Anyway, have been trying to get a bottom panel made for a full blind dovetailed box. Ran some grooves with a plough plane, that Might even be older than me Fancy set-up, I guess. Just for a few 1/4' by 1/4" grooves. been using a rebate plane along the edges of a piece of pine scrap. I was hoping to make a bottom panel out of it. The wards 78 wasn't too bad doing that, but the panel was way out of square. Ran over, and picked up a couple more items for the bench top. A homemade shooting board, and a Sargent #414c Jack plane. Laid one edge against that Oak stop, and shot the end grain. Rotate towards the freshly shot edge, and shoot another, repeat until all four edges were done. This kind of threw the rebates off a bit, so I had to go back over all of them. I also ran a smoother over the face grain of the panel Just hate it when a board is too smooth, and shiny.The glare is worse than the top of my head. Got things about ready for a test fit Hmmm, GRRRR! Back to the shooter jig. That big, ole knot was causing a problem. Narrowed the board a bit. Try this a second time well, at least there is SOME progress going on. At this rate, I MIGHT, just might be fitting a lid to this box in.....June? Might have a shot of the rebates, somewhere. Man, the glare off that.......board, yeah, off the board. Remind me to start wearing a hat outside....
