Time to clear off the bench, and start on Box #2 out of the 3 boxes from Leftovers... Start up. need to get things sized...including the thin panel for the bottom.. Even had a choice of two lids... There was a problem, though... Neither were wide enough....Cut the ends to match the width of the lid..will trim the lid to match the box's length when the box is done... Bottom panel was too thin to run on the tablesaw...so We have ways.... Ok... lay out time! Tried out the NEW Cutting gauge, too... Meh..work in progress on sharpening the cutter... Yes, I do Pins first..."X" marks the waste areas...time for a "different saw" Geo. H. Bishop Co. No. 10 to be exact...Bar is the depth stop, btw... Chopping block is set up..chopping half way down ( about a 1/4") on the outside face, first.. Then flip over, and complete the chopping out ( couple chips flew straight back and nailed me on the nose....) Use these Pins to trace out the tails.. Bandsaw to cut on the waste side of those lines...trying to leave the lines..then chop out as before..then a dry fit... Little chunks in the corners needed pared out... Back was starting to hurt, Clothes Dryer was done...so.. I think I'll call it a day...almost got something done? Stay tuned..
