Hopefully this works. I did a very short video on how to use the protractor tool to make a mitered corner. It’s a rather feeble attempt—I’m not sure why my voice is ahead of the video action. But it is what it is. Hopefully it will be helpful. Thanks for looking.
I’m sure this won’t be any great shakes – but I thought I’d try my hand at making a simple trinket box that I could maybe, possibly, in the near future——someday make. OK—- so I’m feeling a little sorry for myself—- it’ll pass. Any how – this will give me the opportunity to play around a little bit with the protractor tool and once I get a lid on—the rotator tool to move the lid up and down. Another thing I want to explore...
Construction begins… In between trips to the zoo, the Children’s Museum and backyard “play dates” with the kids, I’ve logged some decent shop time on this project the past couple weekends. Last weekend I dimensioned the lumber and assembled the two cherry and walnut frame-and-panel sides. Due to a misaligned rip fence, I wound up with a mortise and stub-tenon joint that simply wouldn’t close. I decided to lop off the tenons and attach the rails to the st...
This is a view of the initial drawing I did for Paul’s table. This is the SU drawing realized in pine and MDF A blurry (sorry about that) shot of a cross section of the moldings which were a last minute addition to the table design. I never did go back and update the SU model. Paul didn’t get away from working for his table. Here he is properly attired to minimize damage to the clothing budget (yes he did get paint on what little he was wearing LOL). His big sister...
Before I can chronicle more of Moby Plank, which I’m itching to do, I need to get the mesquite legs and stretchers made. In order for me to complete the legs, which will be carved out of 5×5x 36 blocks of mesquite, I need a band saw much bigger than the little hobbiest one I have. I can’t afford a band saw until the project is completed, and I get paid. Hence a conundrum. After pondering possible possible solutions, and my wife objecting to me selling the kids, I struck u...
You might have watched Teenage Wood Workers Shop Tour update and I thought that would be a great idea so I did one my self just really quickly and here is the video for it.
So tonight I used my 20 minutes of shop time getting the small cuts made. One thing I failed to mention in my first entry was in mounting the blade. Some of the blades are hard to tell which way is up and down. If you run your fingers up and down the blade—- your fingers will snag on the teeth – use that as a clue. The teeth go down. Another thing to keep in mind – is having a good light. I’ve got a lamp set up by my saw, but it’s not the best set up. IR...
Progress on the shop over the last couple of weeks has been relatively slow so I did not bother you with an update.My gas fitter finally appeared this Thursday and completed the installation of my infrared heater.My wife conveniently dropped the barbecue lidon our gas quick disconnect and I was in the process of replacing the broken nipple when the gas fitter took over…..To my surprise he tested the seal of the new parts by running the barbecue lighter along the joints to see if he c...
Can someone help me locate the plans for the dog bowl holder? Thank you.
Well, the request has been made by the “Big Boss”... She wants a lap desk for her chair. She has asked for it to be made of zebrawood or a spalted maple. I think she was joking. I am going to work on it next week. We are going out of town this weekend and I am going to try and get some photos of some of the projects at my Dads. Well getting late and I need to get up early in the a.m. Will write more later.
