A project in Maple - bandit571 - 09-19-2017
Had quite a bit of Maple "leftovers" from the last couple of builds...
[attachment=4541]
And a glued up panel..
[attachment=4542]
Decided to make a "Blanket Chest" out of the pile..
[attachment=4543]
Ripped a few down to make a few stiles and rails...
[attachment=4544]
Glued a few other boards up into two panels. I could then cut into two blanks per panel, to make a few raised panels
[attachment=4545]
To go with the frame parts.
Stay tuned....front of the chest was worked on today.....wasn't "pretty" but....

Dry fit #1
[attachment=4550]
trying to get the top and bottom rails fitted....
[attachment=4551]
Mitresaw to do a few shoulder cuts.....cheek cuts were done on the bandsaw..
[attachment=4552]
Stanley#45 to plough a groove or two..then chop a mortise or two..
[attachment=4553]
Did a few of these dry fits....and found out the panels were not quite right...1/8" off in length and width, and a touch out of square. Photo is after correcting that issue, and re-doing the raised panel bevels..
[attachment=4554]
Until the grooves would fit, again.
Maybe today, I can get a few things done?
Hope to spread a bit of glue around,too...we'll see.Stay tuned
RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 09-20-2017
Chopped a few mortises, and made a few glue ups today..
[attachment=4555]
Had to use the end vise as an extra set of hands...
[attachment=4556]
made a few more grooves, with a large plough plane
[attachment=4557]
Had to flatten a couple panels, after they had been trimmed to size
[attachment=4558]
On the large glue up, I added pins to hold things better..
[attachment=4559]
Back started hurting, after just 3 hours in the shop, again. Had a little better luck, today
Need to haul a board down to the shop...tomorrow
Maybe I can get the rest of the case's sides done Stay tuned
RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 09-25-2017

Not boring! Afraid most of us can't keep up with your speed. Nice projects I must say.

I think three hours in the shop is just about right for a session.
You don't put any finish on those panels before framing them?
RE: A project in Maple - Tynyyn - 09-25-2017
I hate your guts.
Only because you have more motivation than me. Good job on the build. Maybe you need to open a youtube channel and video your builds?

Pre finish a panel?
Never have, never will....[attachment=4624]
Pine floor boards, blanket chest is over 20 year old.
[attachment=4625]
Still going strong
RE: A project in Maple - bandit571 - 09-25-2017
Work on the ends....
[attachment=4627]
panel was raised..
[attachment=4628]
Stiles cut to length and width. A foot profile was made to match the existing ones...
Used these to determine the sizes of the rails....length and width...
[attachment=4629]
Set a jig or two, for the Stanley No.45 to mill a bunch of grooves, to house the panel..
[attachment=4630]
And cut a few tenons...
[attachment=4631]
That backsaw had other chores to do. Shoulder cuts were done on the Langdon Mitre Box....cheek cuts were via the bandsaw.
Came back after Supper, chopped a few mortises, and did the glue up. Let that sit for the day...
Need to raise the other panel, cut a few tenons, and chop a few more mortises. Maybe Wed. I can have the last end panel glued up?
Then some assembly....we'll see how things go, stay tuned
