Lets see..Disston No. 4 Backsaw
[attachment=52197]
With a ruler..afraid the "horns" on mine are a bit chewed down...
[attachment=52198]
You can make yours as long as you feel like...This handle works best with the index finger riding along the outside of the handle, with the other 3 fingers inside the grip..
Yes, I does have the Disston & Sons Medallion...
[attachment=52199]
Been a well used saw, over the years...
RE: Something for August - bandit571 - 08-14-2024
A few details...
[attachment=52211]
When I do a lay out on the end of a board...I like to have it up to about eye level...
[attachment=52212]
As things are easier to see when I don't have to bend over to work....
However, when it comes time to use the saw...
[attachment=52213]
I will "drop" the board down to where the baseline is just above the jaws in the vise...maybe an 1/8" clearance? That way, the saw works easier, without any vibration going on in the wood...
Sometimes, I leave a little too much of the lines...any then the dry fit...doesn't....Then I have to peel away any excess until..
[attachment=52214]
Still needed to "hammer" this together...
As for checking for square?
[attachment=52215]
I make sure it is square this way...sometimes, one corner will not seat all the way in...
I still check the fit, with the "upright" held plumb..
[attachment=52216]
So...Dovetails #2 is completed...
[attachment=52217]
Making sure the box will match the doors....
[attachment=52218]
The "Top" of the box needs to be done, next....so that the doors have support....
Pins for corner #3 have been laid out....so I guess I had better get to work..
Stay tuned...
RE: Something for August - bandit571 - 08-14-2024
Dry fit, corner #3..
[attachment=52220]
then for Corner #4..there was a question..
[attachment=52221]
Hmmm, will they fit?
[attachment=52222]
I guess so....
Now that the corners are all done...need to get this plane set up, again..
[attachment=52223]
Because a I need a rebate made....to set the 1/4" plywood back into...
[attachment=52224]
Along with a way to hold the parts steady..
[attachment=52225]
Leg vise at one end, and a 12" clamp at the other, hooked into the tool well...
1 done, 3 more to do...

Are you going to paint that wall before you put that up?

If you do don't forget to paint behind the toilet.
RE: Something for August - bandit571 - 08-15-2024
Ok...for one thing...I do NOT paint..anything..
Plan for today.....need to get these 4 items glued up...
[attachment=52227]
Into a frame...so I can lay out and cut a plywood panel for the back of the case...and work on the Top Shelf, and the inside stuff...
Any painting will be up to the Boss...and she alone...
RE: Something for August - bandit571 - 08-15-2024
There was cussing involved, but..
[attachment=52228]
Glued up...I might have used just enough clamps...
[attachment=52229]
That diagonal clamp was to pull the case into square...was about 1/8" out...
[attachment=52230]
There is not a whole lot of room, down here in the shop
Will let this sit a spell..
Stay tuned..
I did say something to the Boss about those "painting" comments....and you 2 did give her a very good laugh...
RE: Something for August - stav - 08-15-2024
I'm with you. I don't do painting at my place unless I have to. My wife is an artist and painting is her thing. Most times, I don't even get input in color choices.
RE: Something for August - bandit571 - 08-16-2024
Box is out of the clamps...will let it sit a few more days, before I clean up the glue joints...since I also installed a rail to hang this box to the wall's studs..
[attachment=52264]
Once this is also dried....I can cut and fit a 1/4" plywood back.....needed to rail to be flush with the bottom of the rebates...
I added 2 screws..
[attachment=52265]
Since there is a top shelf going onto this board..attached from the inside of the box...with a few screws...might also just glued it down with a few clamps, too..
Have bought the hinges to both install the Towel Rack...but also to attach the doors..
[attachment=52266]
Once I get the doors fitted to the case...
Stay tuned...
RE: Something for August - bandit571 - 08-16-2024
Ok..working way too hard for a Friday....but..
[attachment=52268]
1/4" Plywood panel has been cut and notched to fit....then glued and screwed into place...
Notched?
[attachment=52269]
Because the rebates left those openings (gaps) at the corners...filled up with the plywood...and will "disappear" once the stain goes on...
Worked on building a frame to house the 3 rods that towels will get draped over...
[attachment=52270]
Rods are a TIGHT fit, with a 12/16" bit..
[attachment=52271]
Only need to go 3/8" deep.
Back of BOTH knees are sore and crampy...may have to go to the store and buy a bottle of Tonic Water...to make tonight's Tonic & Gin?
Stay tuned..
