That wood is going to look really nice with the clear finish on it.
RE: A project for June? - bandit571 - 06-05-2020
Never fails...mark a BIG "V" across a bunch of boards, the make sure they all are line up, go to glue them up....
[attachment=27442]
And none are in the right place
At least, all the defects are where I can clean them up..
[attachment=27443]
Came time to trim the ends, had a few small bad spots...
[attachment=27444]
Went from 40" long to 38-5/8" long....cut list..
[attachment=27445]
Called for 39"....close enough....width? went from 24" wide down to 21-5/8" wide....list wanted 23-1/2" Will just have to do.
Trying to level the surfaces...jack plane first...
[attachment=27446]
Diagonals to level the glue joints....then the big guy was put to work..
[attachment=27447]
Then came back with a #3 to hit a few trouble spots...Beltsander to level the underside of the top.....brand new 80 grit belt.
I'm soaked, crampy, and very sore in the right hip.
Will see AFTER a trip to the store with the Boss... ..about laying out for the re-sized bottom shelf.... 
Stay tuned....have to re-figure a few sizes in the cut list....

Can you just put breadboards on the ends to make up for the length??
RE: A project for June? - bandit571 - 06-05-2020
Not enough room for them. Am only 3/8" short of full length. Should be fine.
RE: A project for June? - bandit571 - 06-06-2020
Bottom shelf is now in the clamps...
[attachment=27458]
Sorted through 5 planks, to get 4 I could use....one had a HUGE knot dead centered in the board....no matter which way I measured....still wound up IN the panel...cut the knot out, saved the 2 ends for smaller shelves. Straight-line ripped to get a decent edge for a glue up.
Laid two pipe clamps on the saw....sorted through the 4 planks for grain match, and best face up.....only thing that will see the bottom of this shelf...is the kitchen floor...
[attachment=27459]
Will let this sit overnight....and then see how it trims up....need to write up Page 2 of the Paper Plan......a lot of joints will happen to this shelf......lots of lay out work....
Stay tuned.
RE: A project for June? - bandit571 - 06-07-2020
Panel is out of the clamps..
[attachment=27476]
Needed to square the ends a bit...
[attachment=27477]
Not much will get trimmed off...need to flatten a few spots along the glue joints...first, set up the saw guide..
[attachment=27478]
Then the 6" SKIL saw to trim to the line. Guide is on the right side of the saw, distance between the blade and the right edge of the saw's foot. Just push along against the guide.
Beltsander locked up on me....cheap Wall E World 3 x 18"....motor had froze up....and wound up in the big blue trash can....while I head to Harbor Freight to replace the sander...
Round trip to Lima OH....$45 spent, including the ONLY 3 x 21" belts in the store....36grit....will just have to do....buzzed the high spots along the glue joints to close to level...needed drastic measures...so...
[attachment=27479]
Since the No. 7c was a bit too big for me tired and sweaty arms....I downsized a bit...
[attachment=27480]
Stanley No. 6, made before Stanley added a frog adjust bolt...Type 9?
After all, it IS just the bottom shelf...right?
[attachment=27481]
Maybe Monday, I can draw up Page 2....and start making more parts
Stay tuned...
RE: A project for June? - bandit571 - 06-08-2020
First off, I needed 4 blanks ripped to make 4 legs...3/4" x 2-1/2" x 32-3/4"
[attachment=27493]
A little figuring led to that wedge being removed...
[attachment=27494]
Photo also showed I needed to double up the foot areas, so a caster could be attached...so..
[attachment=27495]
Now there are 4 bracket feet to be glued on...
[attachment=27496]
Caster should have enough room?
[attachment=27497]
Later....I had all 4 legs clamped up ( about shot any more tablesaw work for the day.
.) [attachment=27498]
But, before that, I managed to rip a few more parts for widths, and cross cut for lengths..and even a couple rebates
[attachment=27499]
The bottom shelf has thickened edges...
[attachment=27500]
So..
[attachment=27501]
Need to mill the long sides, later....as they also get a curve to them...
Stay tuned, have just a little more to post....about a 2 hour Monday in the shop...
..along with changing out the fill valve in the toilet tank... 
Was one of them days....
RE: A project for June? - bandit571 - 06-08-2020
While I was ripping things down...needed a few parts for the middle shelf..
[attachment=27502]
3/4" thick shelf get a thickened edge as well....about...1-3/4" worth...Had a partial plank I could made 3 rip cuts on..
[attachment=27503]
2 sides and an end....will get the same rebates as the bottom shelf ones.
First, I do need to make that middle shelf....
Legs will sit in notches on the corners of the shelves...got out a vintage saw for that job...
[attachment=27504]
B&D Sabre saw...all metal version, no less. And..new new, never been used blade!
[attachment=27505]
Notch to be made...
[attachment=27506]
One done, three to go for the bottom shelf....
Running low on Ash boards..
..may go and spent another $16-20 on about 4 more 1 x 6 x 9' planks....and even plane them down to 3/4" before I head for home... Have to go to Piqua, OH tomorrow....have a couple dovetail saws to pick up at the sharpening service.....may stop and pick up the lumber as well, on the way home.
Stay tuned..
RE: A project for June? - bandit571 - 06-09-2020
Saws aren't ready, yet.
....EVERYBODY needed their mower blades, and hedge shears sharpened up.... Spent a little time in the shop this morning....making a few more parts....
RE: A project for June? - Arlin Eastman - 06-09-2020
Looking forward to more.
I do not remember all the icons you use so I might have missed some.
