Awaiting results to come back from the scan....
Cleaned up the dovetails...marked a centerline on the drawer bottom for some screws..
As I don't trust nails for this sort of thing....Had that huge knot to hide in the drawer front..
Drilled hole for a bolt ( transferred the location to the other end of the front..) a big spot of glue..
Hmmm...what knot?
Installed the other knob, and put the drawer in the case..
Time for a PIP?..
Will see about the plug cutter tomorrow, and make a bunch of Pine plugs. Will try to install them and get them trimmed flush...IF I feel up to it...
Stay tuned
Show me a picture, I'll build a project from that

Plugs were cut..
Got out the tools to install and trim them...
Once the block plane was finished..the case was set aside
"What plugs.."
Well, I think I made just enough of the plugs..
Maybe. Drawer was sliding into the case a bit too far.
 So, I added a screw to the back end of the drawer's sides, and set them to control how far in the drawer goes. Seems to work well enough..
Next up? Well, while I was waiting on the glue to set up on those plugs....I hauled a couple 1 x 10s to the shop...that's next time, stay tuned..

while waiting on the glue to set on those plugs..cleaned the bench off
And hauled two 1 x 10 x 6' planks to the shop
Of the two, top one was the "best"...marked it for two pieces @ 36" long...will become the sides for the bookcase upper unit..
The other board like thing, was cut into three 23" long Shelf blanks....Then ganged up...needed to joint the edges
Even though all three came from the same board...not a one match the other two..Then left it in the clamps, and squared the ends..
Then just left it there..
..maybe tomorrow, I cut cut some sliding dovetail joints? Still need to bring the third 1 x 10 to the shop...can make the case's top and a few other parts from it.
Stay tuned..

Sliding dovetails were made..
Milled the two side panels...Something like this...
Rebates were done with the Wards 78...
That shaving is 3' long
Pins were milled on the ends of the shelf blanks..
Yep, that is a router sitting back there
...flip this mess over, and do the other ends.
Then the "fun"
can happen....sliding three shelves into two sides....Hammer & Block of Maple were involved
Set the assembly up onto the case...
Yep, going to be a tall one. Have a few boards to cut today....need a face frame, a top for the case, and start on the raised panel door...
Stay tuned....have until the 29th to get this done..then see what the Brain Doctor has to say...

Won't be able to see them...face frame covers the front view, plywood back covers the other view...
Crosscuts were done..
To make the top of the Bookcase. needed a add-on strip to get things wide enough...ganged the two pieces up..
To joint the edges to match each other....a bead of glue, and some clamps..
Was going to use the bandsaw to rip a couple 3/4" x 1-5/8" x 36" strips, to make the stiles for the face frame...one was done...second one had "issues" with the blade...knocked the blade off the wheels..
 ..thinking I had snapped the blade, went old school..
Craftsman special edition saw..
...took a while, got my Cardio for the day....clamped the two stiles together. Jointer planes to make them match each other...and a square edge..
Was getting a bit tired...decided that was enough for today....
Maybe tomorrow, I can work on the face frame a bit?
Stay tuned

OK, Friday was a "Meet & Greet" Day in the shop.
Had a visitor, and he wanted to learn about planes and chisels....we also took the panel out of the clamps, and used that to show how planes can flatten a panel
. Then an afternoon of "shopping" I bought a few things, then the Boss spent some time in Wall E World..I got to take an hour long nap in the van.....Mopar makes some very comfy seats
Got home and put all the toys away in the shop. Have a brand new bandsaw blade, a brand new beltsander, another can of stain ( in case the first runs out
) couple of almost clear 1 x 4 x 4' for frames, and the plywood panel for the back of the Bookcase.
In other words.....not a bloody thing got done on this project
 other than the top
so i just call this a day off.
Maybe later today, I can get a wee bit of work done, wearing me Green shirt?
Stay tuned...

Friday sounds like 'leave without pay'. Did you put in a leave slip? .....
This project is looking good. Thanks for sharing.
Oh. You're FIRED!
