I also enjoy the pictures of when things don't go perfectly. Reminds me that I am not alone in that. RE: Just using up some scraps - bandit571 - 06-19-2021 Roh-kay, Raggy....spent an hour, flattening the lid...AFTER a re-design took place.. [attachment=35942] Trimmed the ends by about 3/8"....changed the front porch to a finger-lift....flattening involved removing a raised area right at the glue line.... [attachment=35943] Seemed to do the trick....screeeeeches a little bit, though...Test fit again.. [attachment=35944] Figured I might as well add the hinges....rounded up the usual suspects... [attachment=35945] 2 clamps, to keep things lined up ( along with the vise), a candle to wax the threads, a bag of hinge parts, a pencil to mark where the pilot holes will go..and a square to lay out how far "inland" the hinges will go.....Need a screwdriver that can drive them tiny screws....and..need a drill bit to drill the pilot holes...hmm [attachment=35946] A small nail, cut the head off, chuck that end into the drill....=...pilot hole drill bit.. [attachment=35947] Even took the time to "clock" the screws.... Since everything has been sanded down to 220 grit...decided to add a coat of stain....brush on, wait a bit, then wipe down..move on to the next section/side.. [attachment=35948] Whether it be the front and the lid...and the insides, and underside of the lid.. [attachment=35949] Underside of the box, too, BTW....then the ends.. [attachment=35950] And, along the back... [attachment=35951] Plan is to let this sit a day...while I figure out the inside of the box.....and see about a tray/tote of some sort... We be getting there...stay tuned.. Just using up some scraps - Tankwood - 06-19-2021 Very nice , enjoying seeing your setup and implementation. The old school techniques with your inspiration shines through. I am following right along.. RE: Just using up some scraps - Bill Holt - 06-21-2021 Bandit, I am so greatful for your build-a-long projects; you are adding some life to WN. RE: Just using up some scraps - bandit571 - 06-22-2021 [attachment=35990] Lets see, slight design change....it is now to be a Key Safe.... [attachment=35991] Needs a rack to hang the key rings on....there is a box at the bottom, for all those keys nobody remembers what they go to. Pilot holes for the cup hooks.. [attachment=35992] And, despite waxing the threads....I still snapped a couple off....trying to get that one last turn....good thing I bought an 8-pack.. Decided on something to dress up the front of the door...as I will just use the finger lift as a handle...so.. [attachment=35993] Got out the scrollsaw...and some 1/4" thick Ash... [attachment=35994] Paint this a silver colour...drill 3 holes to mount the "key" to the door.. [attachment=35995] Finish looking good enough...might as well install this ..... [attachment=35996] Load it up... [attachment=35997] The way it sits on the wall, it tends to self close the door. Side view, when you happen to walk by.. [attachment=35998] I think I can call this little project....done? |
