    Yup, yup. I have been trying to not post walls and walls of text.

    For the drawing out step/ strokes I have now an ink line on a maple block - so my carbide is guided to a uniform angle end to end...

    At the end of today, I think my off the iron surfaces are pretty good, but I don't care for the look of linseed oil on NA beech (test piece) compared to hemp oil on NA beech in my finished sawtill. ...

    I have been focusing on my 7/8 scale future coat rack; with an eye towards having the full scale bench as 'pre-finished' as possible before glue up. 5x again.

    Today, 01-13, was my first day with >45 minutes in the shop since 12-31-23 when I clocked in at 0700.

    These 2 things are past tense, mag is 5x.

    I have a bunch of tabs open looking at 10x magnifiers on that web site named after a large river just now. Having seen some magnified views on that otherwise nameless website I pulled out my COED. ...

    I still think uniformity of burr trumps all. Yesterday was the first time I had 30 minutes in the shop since I clocked in at my real job at zero dark on New Year's Eve morning.

    I agree with, well everybody so far. I really like the look of a wax finish, but it is not a finish for high wear surfaces. If you put it on a chair seat some of the wax will come off on the seat...

    I did get some shop time today. I started with the B side of the camel diarrhea board. I am pretty confident the visible flaws in the finished scrap a couple posts up are places where the plane...

    I actually like your bench top. Sorry if my previous comments came out wrong. The younger people I work with would very likely describe your bench as having 'cred' or being 'legit.'

    Mike, thanks. There was a call for more 'build along' threads some time ago; you obviously did not build this thing in 34 minutes, but I did get to go on the ride with you. Thank you for that.

    Well, 12-28 was overoptimistic. I may have something to say 12-30 evening before I go back for 'next week' which is going to be brutal. After 12-28, I will plan to update on 01-13-24 or so.

    I feel like I have had a pretty good run in the five days off I have had that end in about 30 minutes.

    Tony, I agree with many of the above. I got a Tshirt that says "forgot to use chalk and a straight edge on this one board that one time." You don't want the T shirt on a project of this size.

    I did make a new guide block out of poplar, and am using the "rule of 60" as explicated by LL above to turn a burr around 5 degrees. I will see about using fewer strokes for the burr curling step in...

    With all the pieces laid out, I should be able to shoot or crosscut stock up to about 18" wide on the benchtop, and probably up to about the full length of my next bench in the 90" neighborhood.

  18. Hooks and shoot for wide stock on the benchtop.

    My first bench hooks were made from a different scrap of plywood than my first shooting board was made from and that one difference has been a pain in my neck ever since.
