Well Dusty and I talked about the broken and fractured stained glass panel. The panel was insured for material costs but definitely not the 70 some hours that were taken to make the panel.
Previous blog Dusty’s #5 starts here. First blog starts here.
I didn’t start on making the frame for the stained glass panel because I wanted to make it to fit the actual glass panel.
Since we had a delay. The breakage and the filing for the insurance claim, I thought that I’d make the frame to mat...

Now to finish it up.
Here is an area that I screwed up on. When I opened up the throat I did both angles. I should have onlydone the side that the iron rests on. Doing the other side will make it wear out being so thin. I shouldhave cut that side straight down at 90 degrees. But I can easily fix that by adding an insert.

..I kept cutting the leading block sh...

First of all let me say that this is the first hand plane I have ever made. I looked at some plans to get the general idea, but basically I am making it up as I go. There are things I did wrong but I will be able to fix them.

A couple of years ago my wife met a lady who lived 10 miles from us and she said her husband owned a door and window plant, and that I should go at pay him a visit.
I had never done it.
Since i started to assist in making the toys for Christmas from the Mason – Dixon Woodworking Club, I thought that I’d check and see if they had any scraps that we could use for toy making.

Off we go to the shop of Thomas Angle and his wife Carleen, in Jordan Valley, Oregon. Here he operates two businesses, Owyhee Design and Thos. Angle Saddlery. I asked Tom about the name of the wood business Owyhee. Named after the local mountains and river that brace his property, Owyhee when sounded out takes on a different slant.“In about 1812? Peter Skene Ogden came down the Snake River with a trapping brigade from the Hudson’ Bay Company post at Vancouver, Washington. He had t...

As you may have guessed, I make many of these tables. The practice is needed, and the combinations of woods make it very interesting.
These were all made from the plexiglass templates shown. By using these templates, I can make these tops very quickly.
I also have other shapes that are more complicated, which I’ll post at another time.
