Project Information
Well the first coat of oil just went on. (That'd be the first pic.)
This is my first… phew, let's see if I can enumerate this:
- Project with something other than construction grade pine. (maple 1×2s from the big box.)
- Use of the palm sander
- Use of the miter saw
- attempt at laminating
- Cutting board
- end-grain board
It's a little shy of 16"x10"x2" as I was aggressively 40 gritting away as many of my mistakes as I reasonably could.
Probably a month ago I saw Chad's end-grain table top and I bugged him for guidelines, etc. So the hat tip for the final inspiration definitely goes to Chad. Thanks o/
Now.. Me being a bit of a… well… "someone who does not work well with others" I sorta just ended up winging it nonetheless.
So the lamination is rough, as evidenced by the pics taken with my goofy little cell phone camera.
But I have to say, for a first attempt I'm very pleased with it. Again, I understand an awful lot more at this side than I could possibly have learned any other way.
Next time I'll actually, erm… plane the boards. ducks
I sent pics to friends and got the best confirmation I could have when more than half of them responded:
How much?
