1st Project for 2024? - bandit571 - 12-26-2023
Still have "Leftovers"..
[attachment=49159]
This being most of them....there is also a few longer slats..
[attachment=49160]
Thinking about gluing up a few panels and see what the Single Brain Cell Sketch Up can come up with...
[attachment=49161]
Got the first panel glued up...maybe do one a day, until after the 1st of the new year?
Hutch on the computer desk needs...something...we'll see...might even buy a clock kit? Haven't done a clock since the 1980s...Hmmmm?
$100 Lowes Gift Card for Christmas....spent a bit of it, today..
[attachment=49162]
Combo Square's blade is 16" long, and is in both Imperial and Metric markings...
Couple of NEW saw files, and a new belt for the 4" x 36" belt sander...
Stay tuned..

A project for 2024? Are you sure you can wait that long?
Have a good New Year!

Come on Bandit give me a rest. I just got caught up on your last two projects. I don't read as fast as I used too. ;=)
Blessings to you the remainder of '23 and going into '24.
BTW, a clock would be cool. I didn't know you in the 80's. IIRC, I still had a dial on my phone then.

Building a clock would confuse a lot of young people today. It certainly would be a conversation starter. Haha!

Shopping trip, today...and...and adjustment to Panel #5...
Clock will need a door in back, to access the battery when need be....Hinges have been bought, and a latch to keep the door SHUT.

[attachment=49236]
(Focus on this camera sucks, sorry)
Base of the Clock gets fancy feet to stand on...and some other fancy bits..for a few corners...
handles were bought, in case I need one for that door...
A fancy Brass Finial was bought..
[attachment=49234]
And finally found a Clock Mechanism I liked..
[attachment=49237]
Need to dig out a 3" drill bit.
The adjustment to Panel #5....was to add a strip in the center of the panel..as this panel will hold that clock in the case...
Stay tuned...#5 panel is IN the clamps....
RE: 1st Project for 2024? - bandit571 - 12-29-2023
Hopefully some better photos, THIS time...still trying to find this one..
[attachment=49241]
At least the one with it still IN the package with 3 others...that screw IS a Phillips headed one..just like the ones for the hinges..
[attachment=49243]
Instead of trying to drag that clock back out to change the battery..I will just put a door in the back of the case.
Panel #6:
[attachment=49244]
Needed a couple extra strips to get to the 7" width.....this will be the panel holding the clock. Trying to decide how much of the 12" length I need to loose..either 3" or 5", leaving the best looking of the grain details.
A better look (I hope) of the Finial for the top of the case..
[attachment=49245]
Top of the case will be a raised panel look-a-like...
As for that 3" hole I need to drill for the Clock?
[attachment=49246]
These should do the trick..test drive..after I had to crank that Samson chuck all the way open...
[attachment=49247]
Expansive bit is a Clark...set to a 1-1/2" Radius. That was a high spot on the bench's top, fueled by a knot,,,
[attachment=49248]
Knot is there at 2 o'clock....checked the diameter, dead-on 3"....just what the instructions called for..
[attachment=49249]
Then leveled out that high spot and the knot with a plane.
Feet for the case?
[attachment=49250]
And..maybe some fancy corner details?
[attachment=49251]
We'll see....right now, just getting things prepped....before the joinery can start up..

What time is it? Time for a January 2024 Bandit Project. ;={}
Will it be done by January 1st? Time will tell.
Tune in next time for another episode.

You should've spent money on a camera!
Jokes aside, you still need another combo square after all these years of woodworking? Why?

Sometimes...a LONGER blade will come in very handy....as in WIDE panels...
[attachment=49253]
A lot of that fuzzy photo results from the camera being hand held, instead of on the tripod...and the right hand always having "The Essential Tremours" old age tends to bring...and..since I run a WOOD shop and NOT a Photo Studio...it is what it is...
[attachment=49254]
Using the Tripod for this one, BTW

It makes sense if it's not the 12" version.
