Needed to mill some rebates, get the second frame done….and buy some screws..Second frame, the one the drawer will be sliding on…
Was glued up, spent most of the day waiting on the glue to cure…rebates?
Set up the Stanley 45. Once I figured out which were the backs of the two side panels, I could mark where to put the rebate,,clamp each side panel to the side of the bench..
Mr. Stanley does NOT like knots, had to chisel a couple out of the way…
Decided t...

But, got a few things done. Had a Barn Sale to go check out….not so much for the old tools, but maybe get enough old Pine to help the build along…..1×10 x 8’ and a pair of 1×3 x 8’ pine boards…$15….
So..first task for today..after lunch, was to plop the sides onto the bench….and do a trim..
Almost just a slab….edge back by the tool well, was close enough of a match, that just a jointer plane would be needed….the edges cl...

Ok..side #1 came out of the clamps, today..
This may be the outside of the case..And this goes to the inside….Plan right now is to have both panels done, clamped together inside to inside face, and trim to final size….and a rebate for the back panel to sit in…
Had three more boards to glue up….to make Panel #2..
Kind of gappy….We have ways..
Clamped to the bench….run a jack plane down the edge. I had a straight edge line drawn , so I could joi...

This video shows a table that was destroyed by wood movement. The repairs that were done over the years prevented the wood from moving. See what wood movement does and how to prevent issues when you’re working on furniture.

Was looking through the stash of Oak i brought home….this might be interesting…
Maybe..
Hmmm?
Not all was this fancy-schmanzy, though..
Good thing I’ll need some narrow parts…hauled a few to the shop..
These were for side panel #2..already had parts for #1 cut to length..
Already stashing cut-offs, for smaller parts..
Well, today..after tests at the local Hospital…and a nap….did a cardio workout..
This is about an hour’s worth&...

Weather was ugly outside….sun would peek out, the goes and hides while the next rain cloud comes by. Pulled up to the house today…van load of groceries, and a replacement TV…soon as we started to unload the van..it started to rain..hard. Finally get everything into the house, and THEN the sun comes out…grrr
Decided to see IF the door was ready to install….carefully removed the clamps…no creaks, no loud cracking noises..Placed the door in the leg vise...

Plus a road trip to get a couple 1×12s for shelves..and a quart of stain….might take today off….kind of sore.
Ok, this is going to be a LONG post….I started at 10:00 am and finished the main part by 4:00pm….then the road trip, then another hour in the shop….picture heavy day, too…
On the way to the Dungeon Shop, looked out the backdoor of the house….NOT ready for leaves to be turning….
Cleared the benchtop off, then cleaned out th...

Ok…shelf is in..
That missing piece on the drawer’s front is replaced….a back, of sorts, was added behind the drawer..
Open area below that is fore cables and cords to come through, from there on down is for air flow to the heater.
Last night, after the Big Parade downtown, did a bit of sanding…cleaned up the drawer’s dovetails and the repaired corner..
May add a bead around the drawer..will see after this is upstairs.
Far end of the top was cut to...
