Spoon Tray?

[steven c newman]

Needed a break from all them sharpening threads...so...
Sorted through what is left in the scrap pile.....then resaw them all down....Flatten them all down...select the 4 that are closest to the same thickness...

Cleared off the tablesaw....needed to make them close to the lengths I needed....then the ends were "Squared" up..
499172
Yes, it reads 80 degrees...
499173
Also have a 1/8" thick slab for the bottom....
499174
Guess I won't be needing this square...
499175
However, this one will be very busy...
499176
Have 2 settings to use...one to lay out the pins, the other to carry the cut lines down to a baseline....Then the freshly sharpened Jackson Backsaw...
499178
And that will do as a start...Was getting tired from all the resaw stuff...wanted to avoid any Brain Vapours....Can try again, later today....

Stay tuned

Chopped out the waste...
499196
Traced around the pins...saw and chop out the waste for the tails...and a dry fit..
499197
Might be a bit rough to clamp up, come glue-up time...
499198
One corner done, 3 to go....

Just that it is now Lunch Time...
499199
And a sub....
Stay tuned...

It would seem that 2 such corners is more than enough "work" for one day...don't want to work too hard for a Friday...Good or otherwise..so
499223
Will be rather tricky to clamp up...may have to angle some cauls..
499224
And try to keep things square..
499225
May have to resort to a bit of weight....

All that can wait a day...
499226
As I have two more corners to mill...

Stay tuned...

Laundry Detail today...cut the pins...then the tails ...double checked....one side of the tray is Bass-ackwards...Grrrr will re-arrange to fit things right...

[steven c newman]

Will be a bit too busy, with other things this week (mainly doctor visits, rehab for vertigo, and the Boss has errands) to make it down to the shop. Maybe next weekend, eh?

[steven c newman]

Monday: Errands for the Boss, then Rehab PT in the afternoon

Tuesday: Brain scan @0700, done at 0900....then take the boss to Wall E World...

Wednesday: 60 mile round trip for a Doctor's Appointment

Thursday :Rehab PT....

Friday? So far, nothing on the schedule....yet.

[steven c newman]

Got bored this evening..so....about 2 hours in the shop....got the 4th corner done..
499530
Decided to add a handle of sorts....
499531
Cut and shaped, meant I needed to chop
499532
2 stopped dados....also needed to cut a few cauls to shape..
499533
Then tried a full dry fit, with the cauls...
499534
Making sure the handle was the right length....the pre-set a few clamps..
499535
Half of them....should be "FUN" to do a glue-up?

A couple planes were involved, tonight...
499536
Stanley No. 4-1/2c, Type 11, and..
499537
A router plane.

Shoulder blade area is kind of sore and crampy...will see how tomorrow goes..

Picture size is between 88KB and 139KB.....always have been, and always will be on THIS site..

[steven c newman]

IF I have to go back through and reload the above pictures...I will be getting VERY UPSET>>>No bloody sense in this crap!

Until then...3 more photos?
499520
Laid out, ready to glue and clamp...
499521
Done, for now...lets see IF this site can actually display TWO PHOTOS?

[steven c newman]

Fresh out of the clamps, today..
499567
Hmmm...
499568
Keep these, or, toss them?
499569
Edges flattened...worked on the gaps a bit...
499570
Then glued a bottom panel on..
499572
With just 3 cauls

stay tuned

[steven c newman]

Will post photos later...but the first coat of amber shellac is now drying...

[steven c newman]

Hmmm...

499613
First coat is dry, ready to be hand-sanded...
499614
End view...
499615
A look inside....

Hand sanded to 220 grit, wiped down..and..
499616
