RE: Stick out like a... - hbmcc - 08-01-2017
This is looking very nice. No trouble with planing curly grain?
RE: Stick out like a... - bandit571 - 08-01-2017
No trouble at all.....well, maybe the Wards 78.....it might need to be sharpened....sometime
[attachment=3477]
Got the rest of the panels raised....bench has been cleared
[attachment=3478]
Hey, it was Lunchtime....Stiles are being set up for mortises to be chopped..
Soo, where did the rest of the parts go?
[attachment=3479]
Try adjusting all them clamps..with a busted thumb....Side #1 is now glued up.
Might try to get everything ready for Side #2's glue up, tomorrow?
Stay tuned
RE: Sticks out like a... - bandit571 - 08-01-2017
Went back to the shop for a bit....chopped a few mortises....7 out of 10 are done, and dry fitted..
[attachment=3482]
This is a haunched tenon...
[attachment=3483]
Fills the groove on the end of the stile...
Dry fits...
[attachment=3484]
This one showed a problem happening...that be a crack at the top of the stile, on the "show" side
Elmers and a couple c clamps to glue the wayward part back into place.
Chopped the mortises with just a few tools, nothing fancy..
[attachment=3485]
Maybe tomorrow, I can get the last three mortises chopped out and dry fitted? Kind of dreading the glue up
, not enough "Good Hands" 
Stay tuned..
RE: Sticks out like a... - bandit571 - 08-02-2017
Got the 1 x 2s to the shop this morning....chopped the LAST three mortises, and did the dry fits
Then, the "FUN" began....
Added a third pipe clamp, right at the center, plus one on each end. Could not use the vises to help hold things...somehow got everything glued and clamped up..
[attachment=3495]
Added a couple "F" style clamps as well....set it out of the way for now.....I thought..
[attachment=3496]
Until you look behind these two sides....I need to use that mitre box, and those 1 x 2s standing up back there..
Well, I could do a little measuring, decide what width the case will be...and allow the glue to dry
Less work watching glue dry, anyway. When I can move those two sides out of the way...I might get a bit more done...I do have a "spare" Mitre Box
Might just use it.Stay tuned
RE: Stick out like a... - bandit571 - 08-03-2017
used a mitre box to cut a few parts..
[attachment=3517]
Long parts..
[attachment=3518]
And not so long parts..
[attachment=3519]
Reset the saw and the bandsaw to cut a few tenons.
[attachment=3520]
Even set up a jig on the bench, to chop a few mortises with..
[attachment=3521]
Stay tuned to see what all this is for....
RE: Stick out like a... - bandit571 - 08-03-2017
Ok, first thing this morning, I removed the clamps from Side#2.....might have other uses for them...
That mortise jig? I have a three piece jig I can attach to the top of the bench....
[attachment=3522]
Look closely, you will see a pair of Visegrips Finger clamps. I use those to hold the part in the jig.....makes it easy to move to the next spot and reclamp. The backsaw? I make a cut along each side of the "open end" mortise, at an angle. A mallet and chisel to chop down into the far end, then pop out the waste....after a bit, I try a dry fit..
[attachment=3523]
Looks good from my seat..
I then do the other end the same way. On this frame, I needed a center piece...so I also needed to chop a hole for it's tenons..
[attachment=3524]
USED to be a knot in there,too
....Chopped the matching mortises in the other rail....spread some Elmer's around, and used a few clamps[attachment=3525]
Ah...this is the frame two drawers will ride on.
Guide in the middle to keep them in line. There will be a drawer below this web-frame, so..[attachment=3526]
A kicker was added to keep that drawer from tipping down when you open it.
Not too bad a three hour day? Maybe tomorrow I can get the other four web-frames made? Then I can think about assembling the case?
Stay tuned..

Great work, especially given your smashed thumb.
Inspiring to see what you're doing with such a fragile digit.
RE: Stick out like a... - bandit571 - 08-04-2017
Starting to get some use out of it, again....
[attachment=3541]
The way I have been chopping these mortises...
[attachment=3542]
After laying out what size and where it goes, I use this little saw at an angle. Then,
[attachment=3543]
I dig a hole at the far end...
[attachment=3544]
I come in with the same chisel from the sawn end, and pop the waste out....a bit of clean up, and a dry fit.
[attachment=3545]
Do the other three corners the same way, add a bit of glue, a couple clamps. Then add a kicker. Set aside until the glue dries.
Got two more web-frames done today....ran out of those clamps, so I'll have to wait to do the last two frames...
Stay tuned ( Aug 15, I get the thumb rechecked....we'll see how it goes..)
RE: Stick out like a... - bandit571 - 08-05-2017
Just the highlights from to day...
[attachment=3557]
Last of the webframes were made..
[attachment=3558]
Both sides were matched up. Plane to smooth of a few saw marks...
[attachment=3559]
Rebates were cut for the plywood back panel. Web-frames were installed..
[attachment=3560]
Finally set the case on it's own four feet..
[attachment=3561]
Then started on some Black Walnut trim pieces.....5 hours or so, in the shop..
Stay tuned....
RE: Stick out like a... - bandit571 - 08-07-2017
Cut some rails out of Walnut, and added a dovetail on the ends..
[attachment=3619]
Ganged up three, and jointed the edges to match..
[attachment=3622]
Set the case up where I could do a bit of work( on a Monday?
)[attachment=3625]
Case is getting to be a bit heavy..
Needed up there so I could mark and chop dovetail "sockets"
[attachment=3626]
Got to about here....marked out for one more rail..
[attachment=3627]
And called it quits for the day. Was fighting things the entire way..
Maybe tomorrow, being Tuesday, I might have better luck?
Stay tuned..
