Sure-Foot Plus™ 3/4'' Pipe Clamp | Makita Makita Recon LCT203W 10.8 Volt Lithium Ion Impact Driver 2 Pc Kit |
This morning DW told me that she was heading to her mother’s around noon. So I had a deadline for my most recent client. Two sides attached. View of the inside. When I got to this point I though . . . “I wonder if those arrows will show when I’m finished.” This it the top made from a piece of 1×4 D4S pine. It was ripped, a groove cut along the inside edge for it to fit over the top and a 45 on the outside edge to make it match the base(s). It was at this ...
A beautiful day today. Sunny and 5 degrees. A great day for in the shop. I ripped the band sawn pine into 1 5/8 strips to use as the vase base. I wanted mitred corners so I broke out the mitre saw, set the angle to 45, set up a stop block and started cutting. When I had them cut I laid them together on the bench . . . the angle was not 45 . . . it was less and it left me with a fair gap in one corner. I was not impressed. At this point in time DW needed some crushed stone and topso...
The other day DW said that her mother was looking for a vase to put some tall dried flowers. It had to be 22” – 24” high and 6”-8” square. MIL could not find one any where so DW asked me to make one from scraps. I scanned the shop and found the following:- 10 piece of ¼ pine panelling- some 1×4 band sawed pine- a quantity of short 1×4 D4S pine- some ¾ poplar The only plans I had are the ones in my head. It gonna be one of those projects that you build as you go. I like tho...
Did some cutting today. 8 front legs @ 11.5 inches 8 side aprons @ 9 inches 8 front aprons @ 8 inches 8 back rails @ 8 inches I also made a jig for the DP so that I can drill holes to mount the back rails. Next is sanding and assembly
A couple of years ago I built a table and chair set for a friend’s two little girls. Well since then they had a little boy and the “Lil Guy” needs a chair. I poked around the shop to try and find the drawings for the set so that I could get some measurements. I found something that looked like kids chairs so off I went. The previous set of chairs had a straight back, but this set I wanted a little rake. So I made this template from some packaged pine I planed down some scrap spr...
Well I’m done. This past weekend I installed the top rail and this evening I finished the leg bracing and prettied it up a little. Forgive the pictures as it is dark outside and I wanted to post this tonight. A close-up of the finished railing. Here is the prettying up. The metal panels we actually found in someone’s bulk garbage pickup. So as a recap we have come from here . . . To here . . . . To here . . .
Its Saturday morning. It was forecasting for rain (which we desperately need) but it changed and we were to only get showers. So its out at the deck I go. Here I am admiring the railing. :-) Four of the five pieces up. This is the 5th piece. I hoisted each one up using my handy-dandy tie down straps. I tapped these blocks in place to ensure that all railings were a uniform distance from the flooring. Then it was off to the bracing. I removed the strap...
Here is the lumber from which I will be making the railing. I have set up my table saw to do some ripping. Here is everything dimensioned. The stack in the foreground of the short square board will the rails while the remainder will make up the frames. I took all the short pieces and used a ½ round over bit in the router to get the following. Here I am using my cheap block plane to round over the edges of the boards being used for the frame. Im moving so fast...
Here are a few bits and pieces I did this week (July 6th) I finished the last two boards on the deck. I had to notch out around the posts. I must have made 30 trips up and down over the stairs. What a workout. I then started on extending the posts. I am making the first cuts here. Cordless tools are great . . . when the batteries don’t die. Mine kept dying. I had to resort to a not overly sharp hand saw. Close up of the cut. Its 1 ¾’ deep. A finished post. Boy my arm ...
Its July 4th and its back out at the deck. Yesterday I tipped the deck in place. Today was one of those days where it seemed that I did not have a whole lot to do . . . however it took me the entire day to do it. Go figure. First on the agenda was to install the railing posts in the rear corners of the deck. Here is a pic taken from the upstairs door. And yes it’s a long way down. I climbed up the ladder with the camera to take a pic installing one of the posts. The clamp held...
