Next Project
#31
Have gotten the stash all nicely planed down to what I need it to be..
   
Took awhile with the old Delta..
   
Been informed that  I have both some Curly Maple  AND some Curly ( Flame) Cherry.     I also have a bit of Poplar in the stash...

Got back home, five trips to unload the boards...just before a BIG thunderstorm arrived...

Need to sort through the stacks, and see which go with the desk build, and which are for other things.

I had one board that did not fit the old Delta....13-1/4" wide by 5/4...was a bit too much..
Uhoh


Wonder how my friend intends to plane a slab he has..
   
8/4 White Oak.    He might need a bigger planer...

Project is similar to one Underhill did a few seasons ago..Rachel's Standing Desk.....except Roy used Pine.

Beader tool..
Cool
   
Used a few other planes today, though..
Yes
   
Had a few edges to joint.   Lid has now been glued up..
   
Laid out a few other parts..
   
As I needed to get a few lengths measured up....might have to use the old Langdon to do the crosscuttin..

Once this one is cut to length, and the bench is cleaned off, I might try to make some dovetails...

One corner has it's dovetails done...
   
There was a saw involved..
   
And the usual suspects of chisels, squares and a knife.....kind of a group effort...
Winkgrin

One corner done, three to go...

You have the craziest things in your shop. May not tickle your brain cells, but do I see a chainsaw performing bandsaw duties; in the background? And, those dovetail pins..... Is there a Lilliputian chopping the end grain? 

Now, sloooowww downnnnnnnnnn..... Enjoy picking chips off wood ... after spending the day doing crazy sharp honing. 

Wow! Fast!

The "chainsaw" powering the bandsaw is just a beltsander.   It seemed to find a place to sit out of my way, yet still be handy
Yes

The end grain on these boards turn a Chocolate colour when ever I  use a saw fast enough to burn the wood......Maple, and Cherry seem to be very good at getting burn marks...
Angry

Trying to get enough Gumption to motor down to the shop this morning.....maybe I can try to get something done...

Just a beltsander..
Raised
   
That I use for sharpening, along with these two items..
Yes
   
Usual suspects..
Uhoh
   
BTW...Corner #2 is done, except for the fine tuning..
Winkgrin
   
Taking a Lunch Break.....maybe after the Laundry room is now longer being used, I might sneak back down there?

All four corners are now dovetailed..
   
This is #4.....#3 wasn't playing very nice..
   
But, I think I can fix it....

Dry fit to check for square..
   
Set this aside, got out a box..
   
As I needed to reset a plane..
   
Have a bunch of grooves to cut.   Changed out the #23 bead cutter, for a #12 straight cutter.    Grooves are to be 1/4" wide, maybe 3/8" deep,and set in from the edge by about..1/4" or so. 

Maybe tomorrow, I can try to get something done.....maybe?

Grooves are done..
   
had to go and load a wider cutter...problem with the skates not closing up...
No

Planed done some Poplar
   
So it would fit IN the grooves a bit better.    Riff cut,  needed the thicker side thinned down to match the thin side..
   
Then fought with the bottle of glue and a horde of clamps...
   
Now I get to sit here, rest the knee, and pick dried glue off of every fingertip....
Rolleyes

Will need to make a filler strip, to support the middle of the bottom panel..
   
And close the gap.


Stay tuned....getting closer to the finish line...
