Well....instead of 6 hour shop days...I am keeping things to a single task, then calling it a day....Physical Therapy....
Today's task was to mill two 2 x 4 x 8' boards down to 4 corner posts. 4/4 x 3" x 43", and mill a few rebates.
Cut to length. I saved one of the cut-offs, to use as a set-up block. needed to rip the rounded edge off one edge..
used the block to set the fence, blade did not raise high enough, had to flip the boards over, to complete that cut...
Then reset the fence to get things to 3" wide..
Next step was to get these down to 1" thickness...there was a slight problem..
Hmmm, well..I do have a brand new blade for the bandsaw....install that, and finish the cuts..
Then run the four posts through the saws....leaving the ridge to be planed off..
Millers Falls No. 11 Planed flat and smooth...now for a few rebates..
These four are for the rails and plywood panels to sit into...takes two set ups on the saw ( not up to doing this by hand, right now) then there are two rebates for the back panel to sit in...
Will need to clean these up...
Need to use one webframe, to lay out the drawer openings, to where I can attach the rails, and find the sizes for the panels...first, I need to cut a couple 1 x 4s down. two at 26" long ( best of the two boards) and the rest at 13" or so. Then they will get ripped for width. Rails get a few rebates milled...maybe tomorrow?
Big knots are going "bye-bye"
Stay tuned,,,one day at a time...
