. Thought I could carve some pretty nice short radius turns down this slippery slope. Steep and deep is my favorite, but I caught an edge and I'm tumbling out of control.
Thanks to our good Veterans past and present, I parlayed a 4 day weekend with the best of intentions. Mill work, mill work, mill work, I am chipping up some new, 70 & 150 year red old oak I've salvaged from a number of projects including this house for the trim in my everlasting kitchen project. I used the 66 to get it in the ball park and as I was setting up the router table, jointer and ROS to cleanup the machine marks I said "Lets try the stealth mode on this one".
Pulled the new LV Veritas LA Jack apart with intentions of some fine tuning, but it was ready to go right out of the box. A little paraffin all around for it, the #80, and the new radius plane and we went to town. The new DC came on only once for the floor sweep. What a party. The LA jack is one fine machine, nice balance good fit for my beefy hand. Smooooooth!
Thursday night was also the 9th of ten Neander WW classes. Use, care, and feeding of spoke shaves, card scrapers, and chair scrapers was the agenda for the evening. The Cabriole leg was a fitting test for these implements of mass construction. Not quite my stile, I have some new tools in my arsenal for future challenges
There won't be a big power tool sale around here in the future, but the combination of power and unplugged is here to stay.
