RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 09-26-2017 Have no way of doing any videos in the shop...unless someone were to bring their own stuff to the shop..... About 2:30 this afternoon, this happened... ![]() [attachment=4657] Later, it can join the rest of the glue ups, while I figure out how I will be joining all four sides into a single box.....might take more than a single pair of hands... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I even ran a plane around, to smooth the panel's face a bit.. [attachment=4658] Dang pin knots were getting in the way.... ![]() So, now I can let this sit a day, and then see about some assembly..... ![]() RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 09-27-2017 Dry fit... ![]() [attachment=4674] Next will be the corner joints.....may involve a plough plane... ![]() [attachment=4675] Have to remember to turn that one end panel around....raised part goes OUT ![]() Stay tuned ![]() RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 09-28-2017 Well...SLOWLY moving around......COPD is kicking my rearend......way too many trips up and down them steps to the shop.. Anyway, set up the Stanley 45 for one task... [attachment=4710] Milled a 1/4" tongue on the edges of the end panels...then trimmed them back a bit.. [attachment=4711] As they will be going into some stopped grooves in the front and rear panels... [attachment=4712] Broke one router bit milling these grooves ![]() ![]() [attachment=4713] Got everything dry fitted up, decided to go ahead and glue things up. Will let it set til tomorrow, and then see about a few other items on it. Like a bottom panel, a mini storage box the doubles as a lid support.....and maybe a lid? ![]() Router? ![]() ![]() [attachment=4714] Oh yeah..that contraption ![]() ![]() ![]() Stay tuned RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 10-01-2017 Added a frame to hold the plywood bottom panel.. [attachment=4757] And added the plywood panel, once I finally had the size cut to fit ![]() [attachment=4758] Then had to add a piece to the blank for the lid ![]() [attachment=4759] Came back the next day, removed the clamps, trimmed the now too long and too wide panel to size, and added some bread boards on the ends. Left those a tad long... [attachment=4760] Later that day, I trimmed the corners, and leveled the entire lid. placed the lid back on the case, and called it a day.. [attachment=4761] Still need to sand the case smooth, and install hinges for the lid. Then see about other hardware to hold the lid open.. Can't wait to see what a coat of amber shellac will do....stay tuned RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 10-02-2017 Entire chest is sanded to 120 grit.....and a coat of Amber Shellac added: [attachment=4794] Decided this was the best side for the front ![]() [attachment=4795] One of the ends... [attachment=4796] And a view of the top of the chest. All sharp corners were rounded a bit, using a spokeshave, and a block plane. Still need to install the hinges...maybe tomorrow? Today being a Monday, after all ![]() We getting there...stay tuned ![]() RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 10-04-2017 Well, as for putting hinges ON the chest... ![]() [attachment=4836] Hey, they ARE on the chest, right? ![]() Maple 1 x4 and a Poplar 1 x 10 needed cut down.. [attachment=4837] Used the Disston D-8 for that. After a bit of resaw work.. [attachment=4838] Had to plane away the saw marks. The Poplar had a "problem"....along one edge it was 3/8" thick, along the other..it was 1/2" thick [attachment=4839] Cambered jack to scrub the high points down. then a smooth plane to level the field... [attachment=4840] so...why all of this work? ![]() ![]() RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 10-04-2017 Backtrack a bit.....Needed a second rail made, to match one I already had. 1 x 4 needed to be a little narrower, anyway.. [attachment=4841] Old rip fence worked decently enough on a rip cut like this.....resaw? Not that great....Wound up almost free handing the 1 x 3 through. Decided to cut the Maple parts to about the length needed....on the mitresaw.. [attachment=4842] You were expecting something with a cord? ![]() [attachment=4843] So...after handplaning All five parts smooth, I stood the maple up on the poplar "bottom". I still need to do the joinery work, but, there will be a tray that slides from end to end in the blanket chest. It will slide on the maple rails. May get a handle...metal or wood... ![]() IF & When I meander back to the shop....looks like I have a bit of work for this saw... [attachment=4844] Maybe? Stay tuned.... ![]() RE: A project in Maple - Cian - 10-05-2017 That's awesome! Totally dig the (largely) unplugged approach. Bravo! RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 10-06-2017 Laid out some tools, today... [attachment=4863] that dovetail bit set the angle on the bevel gauge...which led to more tools being brought out ![]() [attachment=4864] Which led to this happening.. ![]() [attachment=4865] By now, the arm where they dug out a Biopsy this morning was getting sore...time to stop for today.... ![]() [attachment=4866] BTW: Dog holes are great, for keeping chisels from rolling off the bench, and spearing my feet ![]() Had a few "extra" planes that needed a place to hang out at....since the til is full.. ![]() [attachment=4867] Cleaned a spot off on the shelf under the bench's top. Should keep these out of trouble... ![]() Have a lump on the right forearm that likes to keep growing....will get the test results back in about...two weeks. Not sure why they needed to make such a large hole in the arm. The shots to numb the area? Wore off way too soon. Wasn't supposed to get the area dirty....ooops ![]() ![]() ![]() RE: A project in Maple - Strokes77 - 10-07-2017 Sorry to hear of your health problems. Thanks for posting updates to your builds. |
