Plan right now is to go and pick her up on the 15th of May, then she can start Home Health Care....
Raised panels this morning,,
The Before...all 8 were worked on..until (Same panel)
Saw marks, ridges, and any rough spots were smoothed out..
Had one that was...interesting...
Show it off, or hide it...wait and see..
Rails, figured out which face looked the best..
And which wasn't...worked on the better face a bit..
All panels and rails were also sanded to 180 grit..
Then the "FUN" and cussing could begin..
Glue on every tenon..spot in the center of each panel...Worked my way along one stile....then the Mallet came out..again with the glue on the tenons..then a clamp on one end to start pulling things together,,add more clamps, and a hammer assist as needed...
Worked with the good faces facing me...add a few more clamps in the middle where 2 rails were not being cooperative...
The red clamps to adjust the fit on the end..
let this sit a day in the clamps...while I start work on side 2..
As Stiles #1 and #2 need their Mortises chopped, too,....then work on the rails and raised panels and get ready for the next glue up
Stay tuned..
