Puttering around in the shop

[bandit571]

Just finished up a major clean up of the shop....was starting to miss just making sawdust....

Found a 1 x 10 of Pine scrap.....marked a bunch of lines all over it.....including a large circle...
Bandsaw did the circle cut...
 

   
Then got out a brace and bit
 

   
To make chopping out a few square holes easier..
 

   
At one point, that Japanese mortise chisel caused a split to happen
  So, I cleaned things up, applied glue to the break, and added the clamps
 

   
And went back to chopping.   Added a smaller chisel, and used my chin to "power" it, instead of the hammer.
 

   
Got to the point that the clamps were in the way....decided to let the glue sit overnight, and called it an evening...
Stay tuned, there may be more of this "Trouble with Trivets"

 

IF anyone wants, I can post another thread about that shop cleanup......

Did you burn any tools in this last cleanup? 

[Arlin Eastman]

I am very curious of what you are going to make this time.

[bandit571]

Nope, no tools were burned this time around...
 

   
Arlin:  Tis called a Trivet....Left one hole round, so it can hang on a peg.   Have to get some Mineral Oil and give it a few coats...

Interesting.... The term 'trivet' is evolving from tripod into one bumping out "hot pad".

If it makes you feel any better go ahead and show us what you cleaned up, but it still looks like a well used and slightly crowded wood shop to me.

[Bill Holt]

Tom is right...Bandit, you will feel much better after posting the clean up.

I had to look it us.

* a small plate placed under a hot serving dish to protect a table.

It sure looks like it will do the job.

I had to look up the word "clean" just to make sure all these years I wasn't lied to.  


 Heat up a cast iron pan and set it on top and let the heat brown the wood before coating it with whatever you coat it with. Gives it character.
