Sorting the scrap pile, might be a project in there
steven newman posted a topic in General Woodworking
Had a pile of Ash scraps, and other cut-offs. Sorted through the mess....FUBAR ones were headed to the firepit can. The rest? Not much use as 3/4" thick "chunks", but....IF I resaw them down to 1/2" thick parts....I can glue up a few panels. Make a few boxes.....Might even try that stack of 1/4" Red Cedar planks into small Souvenir Boxes like one sees at Tourist Trap Stores? Mainly going to work on that pile of Ash..... Reset the tablesaw saw. Zero Clearance Overlay and the fence were installed.....set for a full height ( that this saw could do...) and 1/2" between the fence and the blade. No, handsaw , or Bandsaw this time around.....Started working on the pieces that were still 5-6" wide......was having issues.....reset, and RIP everything to 3-4" wide....and try again. Soon had a pile on the bench... Thick ones are about 1/2" thick....thin being around 1/4" or thinner....was filling the bench up so much.. That even the bandsaw was storing some pieces... Hmmm, might be needed for trays and lids? have other uses for that short bit of 3/4" scrap.... Decided to at least try to joint a few edges... Find a few that matched each other, for a panel glue up... Couple of cauls to keep things flat.... While resawing to get the faces flat,,,,overlap was sometimes a bit...off.....this piece laid right over, just barely caught the spinning blade, and flew right back at me...glasses caught some of the impact, stiff upper lip got most of the attention....and bounced off.....heading for the burn pile. Got to about the 4th panel glue up... Found out I was getting low on clamps....without using the 24" or longer ones....stashed the 4 over on the saw for a day, or two... had also made a small pile of sawdust under the saw.. About an inch deep. Shop Cat seems to like laying around in the stuff.... Monday? Shop was closed, had errands to run. Monday also had.... Just over 4" of this white crap arrived....snowed all night...so, today we are under a Level 1 Snow Emergency.....more or less snowed in.. Grrrr....That wooden planter stands 5" tall, BTW.....which means, I can just go hide out in the shop all day. I think I would have preferred November Rain, instead of this stuff.....may just send this down to Gunny's place....I think I can spare a bit.. Stay tuned....
