Road trip this morning ( 2 miles, each way..whoppee) now have the Plexiglass and 5 handles from Lowes. Yes, I wore a mask. Lunch by way of Burger King Drive-Thru...
Ok...drawer No.1 is out of the clamps..
[attachment=26035]
Sides cleaned up..
[attachment=26036]
Circles are where squares had been installed, to fill in where the grooves would have shown through....
[attachment=26037]
handle was installed after I had ground the pointy ends off....didn't like the teardrop ends..
.then stashed the drawer, for now... [attachment=26040]
At least until the stain arrives. Then worked on Drawer No. 2.....dovetails made, all parts dry fitted, bottom panel trimmed to fit...was a bit too wide..then..
[attachment=26041]
Clamps, cauls and glue arrived. Needed the vise as a third hand...makes adding more clamps easier....only one problem..
[attachment=26042]
No place to set this forest of clamps, so I could work on Drawer No. 3....Well, being a Monday and all....didn't want to press my luck, anyway...
Stay tuned....will get #3 done tomorrow...and then start working on a door, or two.....might have the hinges by then...

Bandit
I like the first one you have shown with the planes in it. What is it you do not like about it??
Me I am thinking it would be easy to see and lift out and put back in.
RE: A new til for the planes? - bandit571 - 04-13-2020
Got tired of cleaning all the dang dust off of them. And, it didn't hold enough planes..
RE: A new til for the planes? - bandit571 - 04-14-2020
Appointment to get my finger poked this morning, Blood Thinner Clinic. Reading was 1.9
Screened on the way in...passed. Can't wear my glasses AND that dang mask....walking around in a fog....May skip Lunch until later today....want to get the last drawer glued up....so I can start on a door..or two...may just do two....less door to swing around..
Stay tuned
RE: A new til for the planes? - Arlin Eastman - 04-14-2020
OK
I love how this one is coming out.
RE: A new til for the planes? - bandit571 - 04-14-2020
Time to get caught up. Drawer #2 is completed...handled, and stashed away..
[attachment=26107]
Handles needed reground...didn't care for the shape they came in..
[attachment=26108]
So, a grinder and a cup of water..
[attachment=26109]
Should do the trick. Drawer itself got planed...
[attachment=26110]
Marks made to center the handle on the drawer front..
[attachment=26111]
Pilot holes for the screws was by North Brothers #41...Checked drawer #1..
[attachment=26112]
Thought I heard something rattling around....
Drawer #3 was then dovetailed, bottom was cut to fit...and that forest of clamps came back..
[attachment=26113]
And I thought I was down for the day...
Decided I wanted a molding around the drawer openings, to give something for the doors to rest on..
[attachment=26114]
nothing fancy, mind you. But to get the needed stock, I needed to rip a few 1 x 6s down....might as well mill the parts for the doors, too..
[attachment=26115]
4 stiles, and 4 rails...grooved for the plexiglass panel, too.
[attachment=26116]
Means I need to sketch up all the cuts I need to make...to make the two doors. After I get the last drawer done.
Sure to involve a bit of cussing...
Stay tuned...
RE: A new til for the planes? - bandit571 - 04-15-2020
Drawer #3 is...done, and fitted..
[attachment=26132]
Mortise & Tenons started up...with a jig..
[attachment=26133]
To hold the stiles in place, while I chop a mortise..
[attachment=26134]
Then a dry fit...
[attachment=26135]
Doors will meet with a "lap joint"....had to do a piece of scrap to check on how it will look..
[attachment=26136]
Can fine tune for a better fit, later.
Shopping trip to pick up the hinges, a latch, something to cut the plexiglass with....and a shop light, for over the sanding center/drill press area...and forgot a light bulb
maybe after supper, I can get something done, today?
Stay tuned
RE: A new til for the planes? - bandit571 - 04-16-2020
Fine tune a rebate?
[attachment=26159]
With a skewed rebate plane, of course....Left hand door has been assembled, glued up. Unclamped this morning, squared the ends. attached the hinges to the door..
[attachment=26160]
Then check the swing...
[attachment=26161]
Then work on the right hand door....mortises done a bit differently...
[attachment=26162]
Used fewer tools, too..
[attachment=26163]
Dry fit, and mark the new plexiglass for length..
[attachment=26164]
Took the plexiglass cutter back to Lowes, was a waste of $4....panel for the left hand door snapped....just not in the right places. Wound up cutting a panel for the left door with the tablesaw.....today, I made Lowes do the cutting....I only had to trim the end for length,,by about a 1/4"....used the Tablesaw saw and rip fence....Ok, glue clamps and cauls time
[attachment=26165]
C clamps and cauls to keep the corners flat, and added a helper to keep the clamp's pad in place....
[attachment=26166]
One spot needed two cauls...and..
[attachment=26167]
Checked the corners for square....leaning up against the plexiglass panel, btw.
Will let this sit a day...then add the hinge and the handle....then think about a stain to apply...
Stay tuned.
