RE: We have Plan? - bandit571 - 10-01-2022
task for this morning...complete corner #3..the last in line...start here..
[attachment=44478]
Tails have been sawn. A backer board for support...chop about half way down...then flip over..
[attachment=44479]
And finish chopping out the waste. Then use this to lay out the cuts on the pin board...double checked to make sure I am on the correct face..
Using a different saw...easier to control , too..
[attachment=44480]
Remember to saw on the waste side...leave as much of the line as I can....can always pare a bit, if needed..
[attachment=44481]
Saw Guide? Yep, my left index finger pressing up against the saw.....then chop the waste out...I just use a chisel, then pare to the lines..test fit? Pare a bit more..finally on the 3rd try..
[attachment=44482]
Then back to the games....and rest up a bit.....I will need it...
[attachment=44483]
These 2 boards are to become the panels for the lid and the box's bottom...they have a kerf cut all the way around...as I need these 2 to be 5/8" thick...
Stay tuned..
RE: We have Plan? - bandit571 - 10-01-2022
Some dummie decided to go back to the shop...late at night...and get a darn good Cardio Work out...
Those 2 boards...set one aside for now, stand the other up in the vise..
[attachment=44484]
idea here is to hold the board steady while I run a saw...
[attachment=44485]
Somehow, I don't think this is gonna work...we have ways..
[attachment=44486]
If'n ya gonna rip a board, use a rip saw...D8 Thumbhole, 28" long, 5-1/2 ppi...
[attachment=44487]
When the saw gets down to about here...time to flip the board over, and cut from the other end..
[attachment=44488]
Trying NOT to cut into my bench when I reach the first cut...Results?
[attachment=44489]
Stash the thin one elsewhere...on to the second board..that had "issues"..
[attachment=44490]
As in a few knots....didn't bother the saw one bit..repeat as before...until..
[attachment=44491]
The waste drops out. Next, because the tablesaw cuts slightly thicker kerf than the D8...need to plane these 2 flat..
[attachment=44492]
Once both are done...
[attachment=44493]
Just have to decide which will be the lid's panel...and which will be the bottom of the box...
Stay tuned...
RE: We have Plan? - bandit571 - 10-01-2022
Also, did a test run on the Stanley 45...set up with a 3/16" cutter, depth stop at 3/8", fence set 3/16" away from the cutter...running a single skate..
[attachment=44494]
And the groove has to go all the way around the panels. The I have to reset the plane, and plough housing grooves on the top and bottom inside face of each side.
On the 2 panels....one side of that groove's walls gets reduced down to 3/16" from 3/8" high...the longer wall will go outside of the box, the short one will go inside the sides' grooves.
Might be a bit much for one day? Running that Stanley 45 across end grain....? Hmmm, may have a different way....we'll see...
RE: We have Plan? - bandit571 - 10-02-2022
Back said it was time to stop, for today...sweep the krunchies up..
[attachment=44497]
Busy day? 16 grooves were milled...some on the edges..
[attachment=44498]
Some on the end grain...
[attachment=44499]
Some on the inside faces of the sides...
[attachment=44500]
Some, because they were too short to use the Stanley 45 on, were done a different way..
[attachment=44501]
Test for fit, along the way...
[attachment=44502]
Until I could try an almost full dry fit..
.[attachment=44503]
The panels do not need to go all the way...to the edge..
[attachment=44504]
Because when I plane the sides into shape, they will meet up with the panels...details inside?
[attachment=44505]
Lot of interlocking going on...
Stay tuned...
RE: We have Plan? - bandit571 - 10-03-2022
Warning: do NOT work in the shop, on a Monday..
[attachment=44515]
Went to tap the dry fit apart, to work on 2 stopped dados...."Crack!"
All the grooves needed fine tuned...way too tight...
Went ahead, laid out one dado. Used the lay out marks to cut a divider to size...then got out some tools..
[attachment=44516]
That screw? I chopped on the bench, the screw was to hold the part still...was finally able to move the part over to the vise..
[attachment=44517]
So I could use that router plane to smooth things out...
[attachment=44518]
and see how it went...
[attachment=44519]
At least something went right, today...
I also installed a cordless Pencil Sharpener in the shop..
[attachment=44520]
It says Boston on the other side.
90 minutes was just about enough "fun" for a Monday...try again, tomorrow?
Stay tuned
RE: We have Plan? - stav - 10-04-2022
Been away from this one for a while due to our unwanted windy house guest.
I'm really liking that wood. And the pencil sharpener. I have the same one.
Those curved dovetails would give me all sorts of issues. Straight ones are hard enough.
RE: We have Plan? - bandit571 - 10-04-2022
Roh-kay....clamps came off today...time to lay out that other dado..
[attachment=44522]
Clamp the part to the bench..
[attachment=44523]
Get a couple chisels working, trying to remove most of the waste...
[attachment=44524]
Then a router plane to clean it up..
[attachment=44525]
That should do it. Need to set up the combo square to 3/16". Coming down from the outside face, mark a line along the edges...
[attachment=44526]
Goal here, is to plane down to that "stop line" in a nice gentle curve from the center...something like these 2..
[attachment=44527]
One on the left needs a bit more fine tuning...
[attachment=44528]
This mess was just for doing the 2 ends...still have to do the 2 long sides the same way...needed a jig, for that.
[attachment=44529]
Was almost done with the first edge...
[attachment=44530]
Got to about here, when the toes started to cramp, the right calf started in, too....then the fingers...time to call it a day?
Stay tuned...
RE: We have Plan? - bandit571 - 10-06-2022
Up-dates, anyone?
Results of planing the long sides to shape...
[attachment=44562]
Then a dry fit..
[attachment=44563]
Needs trimmed a bit?
[attachment=44564]
Could be....Paul Sellers used one of these saws...
[attachment=44565]
Jury is still out on that saw....have to rub it with a candle, before each cut...I also needed to level the top and bottom edges..
[attachment=44566]
Just so it will sit without any rocking going on...
[attachment=44567]
The only thing I don't like about this design...is you can't do a full dry fit of everything....never get it back apart. So..everything ready?
[attachment=44568]
A bottle of glue, a brush to spread it around..some curved cauls,,,,,and a few clamps...let this sit a day
Stay tuned..
RE: We have Plan? - bandit571 - 10-06-2022
Ok, having sat a day on my bench, time to get busy, again..so...remove the clamps and the cauls...and work on the long sides a bit..
[attachment=44569]
Fill any gaps, level anything sticking up, to include the edge of the lid panels...and give those a slight round-over..then onto the ends...
[attachment=44570]
Same here, except..there are also 8 holes to plug...custom made for each hole, of course...Once it is seated into a bit of glue..
[attachment=44571]
That skinny saw again...7 more to do...Then plane and sand everything smooth...
[attachment=44572]
Both ends done...lay out a line to saw the lid off with..
[attachment=44573]
All the way around, of course....and, in theory, the saw is supposed to follow that pencil line?
Start at the corners..
[attachment=44574]
Then connect 2 end corners...
[attachment=44575]
Once both ends are sawn..lay the box down on a side...and connect the end cuts...until you feel the saw cut through. Good thing I have a second one of these saws...I can leave one in this kerf..
[attachment=44576]
Flip the box over with the saw in the kerf...clamp the box in the vise as high up as you can...and complete the cut by connecting the 2 end cuts,,,,results?
[attachment=44577]
A bit rough..but the backsaws are filed Rip.
[attachment=44578]
So, next time in the shop, I get to plane this a bit, so the lid will sit better on the box....and might even see about some hinges?
Stay tuned..
RE: We have Plan? - stav - 10-06-2022
Looking good so far.
