RE: another build thread... - Arlin Eastman - 01-07-2018
When you come and see me next year I will have a lot of Pony and Bessy bar clamps to give you if you teach me how to us the 45, but you will have to bring yours since I do not have one.
I was wondering how you fix the gaps in the dovetails?

....transportation problems. 
Learning a 45 isn't all that hard to do, just sharp cutters, and a bit of practice....MOS over at LJs has quite a few videos out.. 
Fix a gappy dovetail joint: Drizzle a bead of glue along the gaps. Mound a bit of saw dust that matches the wood ( mitre box had plenty).
Moosh the two together a bit, rubbing the dust down into the gaps......then use a palm sander to "burn" the two in place, until all surface traces of the goop is gone....and old trick, I learned a long time ago...

Moosh.......

Not sure IF I want to venture into the shop, today......seeings how it is a Monday..
Normally, I have the shop closed on Mondays ( bad things tend to happen..)but, can't really do much else today. Weather outside my window looks almost as ugly as the view in the mirror this morning....
IF I happen to get bored
I MIGHT try the shop ....AFTER Lunch..

So let me guess. The TomCat is at the foot of the stairs, daring ya to come down into his territory.

A look out the front window...

Decided to try the shop.....for a little while
, Drawer was fine tuned, now slides like it is supposed to. Plug cutter was used[attachment=7031]
A bit of Walnut, for contrast...
Ran a saw for a bit..
[attachment=7032]
Then set up another saw..
[attachment=7033]
To do the rip cuts. Got a few parts jointed..
[attachment=7034]
21" long stiles..a jack plane will do this job.
Stay tuned, for the next episode
RE: another build thread... - bandit571 - 01-08-2018
Ok, got a few rails ripped as well, and jointed them..
[attachment=7035]
Set up a jig on the bench, and got out the Stanley 45, again..
[attachment=7036]
These 2" wide stiles weren't too bad to do. Came time to mill the same groove in the rails, I had to raised the 45's fence to just miss the jig. Before I tried to mill the rails' grooves, needed to make some haunched tenons. Langdon75 to do the shoulder cuts, bandsaw to make..
[attachment=7037]
Dominos
a couple more cuts....[attachment=7038]
Then reset the jigs, and the fence on the 45....soon had all the grooves done...
[attachment=7039]
Still need to chop a few mortises. I can now size a few boards, to make a glued up panel, then raise it with a few planes.
Was getting too warm down in the shop, decided to stop, until it cools back down...
Stay tuned, will try to get something done, next time...

Wait, are those grooves centered?

Just kidding, Bandit. Keep up the good work, I enjoy following your progress.
