Had three things I wanted to get done, today.....well...I did get one out of three..
 had edges to joint...
Getting there..
got the third plank done...then a glue up was made..
Used a few cauls to help keep the ends straight..
Top is 3/4" x 16" x 57-3/4"......not a whole lot of room left in the shop. Can't even put the toys away...
Stanley No. 8, type 7..Stanley No.6c, type 10.....Millers Falls No. 14, type 3.....and a few odds and ends.
Will let this sit overnight...may try to remove the clamps tomorrow. Between the boards, and the clamps...this weighs almost as much as I do
Stay tuned

Hmmm,Visit to the Cardio Doctor today....BP is a bit up...new pill for that. Heart Monitor..the "smart" phone it talks to went brain dead...getting another "replacement" shipped to me, restart the tests Monday....
Holes to drill..
Clamps to pull and hold things in alignment...until a screw could be installed...had to tip the case a bit..
This old back can't get down far enough, otherwise...
The top came out of the clamps, once all the screws were done..and, landed on the case,,,took a couple tries, until it landed where I wanted it..
Stuck the blank for the drawer into it's spot, to see how it will fit.
Ends need trimmed square, and..
A curved corner made. Top is "tacked down" while a few planes try their luck..
Was a busy afternoon. waiting on things to cool down, before I decide to work again. Sitting here soaked....even with the shop fan on HIGH....wasn't enough.
Stay tuned...

4 hours in the shop, today....and 24 photos....had 34, process a few out..
Top has been flattened by planes and the beltsander......No. 8, the No.7c..and this little fellow cleaned the few trouble spots..
Stanley No. 3c ( 3 patent date) to flatten out where the big guys just skipped over..also got one end trimmed
The other end will have to wait a while....not much room right now for me..
Next was parts for one door...stiles for both were trimmed for length, and to get rid of a taper..
Two of these need one of these..
Stay tuned to find out how....

Made up a little jig, to hold each stile in place, long enough for this old plane to make a groove..
Once the stiles were done, they were clamped into the place where they will go when the door is done..
Then I could find out what size to make these three parts..lengthwise
After I had jointed the edges to match each other...then a saw to cut for length..
Then redo the jig for cutting the groove....tried the old plough plane for one groove...didn't go well...Plane is too long for these parts, was hard to keep in the track..put together the Stanley 45 for the next groove..
Seemed to work a little better...IF the grain was correct...and no big knot in the way.
More to come, stay tuned..

Grooves were getting done...but need tenons made, as well...reset the mitersaw's depth stops..
And make a few shoulder cuts. Used a jig to do the cheek cuts on the bandsaw...to hold the part vertical..
C clamp and a Handyman square. Was able to keep the part upright to make the cuts....once each end was done, I stashed the wide rails in their new homes, for now ( no mortises yet)
Which left 2 skinny rails to do...had issues with the jig, one part even hopped up, and took off on me? Wound up sweeping the floor looking for the...part. Finally said something about the firepit, and out it came...like magic!
Finally, used a pair of screws, to where just their heads were pushing on the parts...and a lot of candle wax...got one done and stashed, and worked on the second one....the Stanley 45 hopped out of the groove, and ran full force into my hand..
OUCH!....holding on to the bandsaw's table, to steady things....went to stash the last rail in place..
And these others just dropped out, to the floor.....piled the mess onto the bench..had one more chore to do..
Stay tuned

Ok, used one of the parts, to mark how long to make a few panels.....that will sit in all those grooves....had a few scraps I could cut up...to get these..
Used the no. 3c to plane a few edges straight for width....A No. 4 will be along tomorrow, maybe, to make these into 4 raised panels.....have to keep an eye on the grain..
Still need to chop a few mortises....get this door done, and start on the other....
That be the plan....was one of those days, today...
Time for lots of Gatorade...stay tuned

After that 4 hour shop time, yesterday....was a bit hard to motivate towards the shop....about all I got done was trim a couple tenons...
Top and bottom rails use a haunched tenon. A few chisels to do the chopping..
Set up the mortise jig
Got the wide rails done...so I can center the skinny ones between them...
Got the two skinny rails done....one stile is done
Set stile #2 on these mess....and about here motivation left the building
Was too tired, too sore....
Mondays the shop is closed..maybe the "day off" will help?
Stay tuned....

I hate working with Ash....broke a chisel, today.....but, 5 more mortises are done..
Enough to get this frame ready for some panels...
Do this to all four of the front's edge....flip over, change planes..
Run a rebate around all four edges of the back..
Test fit one raised panel....repeat on the next blank..
Two down, two to go..tomorrow. 4:00 quitting time..
.sweep the ankle deep shavings up, grab the camera..and head upstairs
Will see IF I can get the other two panels done...and maybe a glue up? Tomorrow..I am tired out.
Stay tuned

Broken chisel: I had a shop-made lock mortise chisel, that I use for cleaning out the bottoms of mortises....lost about all of the curved part...about 1/8" or so....Ash did not want to budge....then..SNAP!
What looks like a shadow in there...is mostly the broken off tip.
