Schadenfreude Monday

[Aram]

Glue in many dowels. Remove with flush cut saw and chisels to make room for router. Re-drill dowel holes. Set 7/16" groove depth by setting a square to 1/2" and then adding 1/16, because 8+1=7. Glue in dowels on both sides of mating pieces.  Remove with flush cut saw and chisels. Re-drill dowel holes.

Don't even ask my how I managed to set my 15HH planer to something like 3/8" -- much less how did I get the board in there? -- and am now deep in a dicey gearbox scenario.

Feel better now? 


Happy Monday.

Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, and yowzer.  And that was only this morning?  Time to quite and contemplate tomorrow being better.  A six pack or three couldn't hurt.

And may I suggest you resist the temptation to turn the planer on if you have any parts left over after the repair.

To my credit 
 I did spread it out over the weekend. This is just a Monday morning recap for your entertainment.

I got the planer back into gear and it seems to run ok. Dunno. I'll probably take it apart to be sure.

The rest, well, at least I used up my yearly allotment of dumb, and it's not even the end of summer. Clear sailing from here to New Year's day. Right? Just nod yes.
