A project for June?

[bandit571]

Maybe
 

Anyway, picked up about 29 board feet  of 1 x 6 Ash, this afternoon....even ran it through a planer, to get things down to 3/4" thick..

Raided his wood rack for 6 boards....4/4 x 6 x 9'
Hard to carry in my van, with 3 people inside.....Cut the boards down ....trying for 5' and 4'.....because the top of the Kitchen Island will be around 5' in length.

   
The 2 short ones in front?    Were from his scrap pile.....that he didn't need.

   
May square those ends, and make a few drawers with them.

Also paid for the 12 board feet from last winter, since he was "Down-under" at that time.....total bill?    $30

Awaiting word from the Boss as to what style of Kitchen Island she wants.....mean time....boards can sit and get used to the house.....after being in a barn for a few years.

Until then.....

Wait, $30?  That's quite the score.  A kitchen island should be in interesting project.  Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

A hardy "You Suck!" is in order!

Looking forward to the Build when your sweetheart tells you what to do.

Screen shot, of what she wants....
 

   
paper plan, as delivered by Moose & Squirrel Delivery Service, today..end view...
 

   
Front view...
 

   
and the full ( for now
) plan..

   

Look like I need to start gluing up a bunch of panels....need 5 panels made up.....not counting the raised panel for the door.   Need to go out and buy the small casters.

Need to get the jointer planes busy.....may rough cut for length, first...the joint for a glue joint......I'm sure someone will come along to tell me I'm using too many clamps, again
 


Lumber is 5-3/4" wide, mostly....thinking 4 pieces per panel....

Stay tuned....

Hard to carry in my van, with 3 people inside.....Cut them down ....

I hope the people you had to cut down didn't complain too much...

[bandit571]

The boards did complain a bit.
  As for the other two people?  
They stayed home....getting ready to go to their night shift jobs.
  Took a few trips, to bring all the boards into the house.

looking forward to the build-along!

The photo looks like it's tapered. Does the boss want the taper?

[bandit571]

Bad photo..
..legs are straight.
   Google picture had the piece sitting at an angle...
.paper plan shows how it is supposed to look...
 

Raining outside, all day....no yard sales, might a well go to the shop after Lunch...

[bandit571]

4 planks to the shop....needed a fifth one later....Cross cut to rough length...about 40"....straight line ripped, to about 5-7/8" wide.....one was tapered, wider at one end than the other....still had a few "high spots".    Needed a 2" wide strip, to get the panel to 24" width.  Dry fit?
 

   
Was also presetting clamps.   Had to put a couple planes to use...to joint a few edges straight...

   
Stanley No. 7c, Type 9, and for smaller bumps a Sargent VBM #414c.....then glue clamps and cauls....

   
Panel is for the top of the Kitchen Island....and this is the "good side"...( may need those two planes after the clamps came off?)

   
And this will be seen, only IF you can crawl inside the 5" deep drawer.

Tomorrow, I can trim the ends square, until the length is 38".....width needs to be 23" wide.  Then, I can start on the next panel glue up..the bottom shelf....

After that?  We'll see.....getting the larger stuff made first...
