Got the counter sinks done, then start some assembly..
IMG_3521 (640x480).jpg
Diagonal clamp to pull things square..
IMG_3522 (640x480).jpg
And...since the bench is now full of drawer and clamps....that will do for today's adventures....will let the glue cure until tomorrow..
Stay tuned...about ready to build the book case half of the project...
-
Drawer was removed from the clamps last night...10 hours should be enough time. Drawer was slid into the case, to find out where the tight spots are.
Maybe I should post a little "How-to" on drawer building? Nah....would just get shouted down...
MRI this afternoon...may work on the drawer when I get back home. Monday? May take the day off....
Stay tuned
-
Nice work. I certainly appreciate your threads.
Good luck with the scan.
-
Still waiting on how the scan turned out....30 minute trip in an oversized clothes dryer.
Got bored tonight...got out some toys..
toys.jpg
And trimmed the dovetails as needed. The hole where the groove showed...shavings were stuffed into the hole with a spot of glue, then sanded smooth.
Stanley No. 20 square to mark a centerline to show where the back of the drawer is..
center line.jpg
Then, since I don't trust nails...three screws were used..
screwed down.jpg
Now, the drawer front had this huge knot. I drilled a hole about in the middle of it..
drilled.jpg
I also marked a matching spot at the other end of the front....why the bolt? Best way to make a knot vanish..
knot knob.jpg
A lot of glue under the knob, crank things down tight. Add the second knob..
two knobs.jpg
Will work on plug the holes tomorrow, if I feel up to it..time for a PIP?
PIP.jpg
This is what she wants...open shelves for baskets, and a drawer. I might get a can of Golden Oak, and then a few coats of Amber Shellac....and see how it turns out. Lumber for the plugs..
plug board.jpg
Will use one of the very few Veritas toys I have..
A 3/8" tapered plug cutter. maybe I can install all the plugs, and get them trimmed flush, by this time tomorrow night?
Stay tuned...
-
Coming along nicely, Steven. Although I’m not apposed to knots and other character in wood, your hide the knot with a knob worked out well. Hope the results of your scan are positive.
-
Dropping back, yet again...thread getting a tad long?
Two dozen plugs were cut last night..
plug cutter.jpg
One of the very few toys from Veritas I have in the shop. Have had it for a long time.
plug board.jpg
Used this scrap of pine....tried to stay out on the white section, the red area wouldn't match where the plugs will go.
Maybe after Lunch today, I can pop the plugs out, coat the smaller end with glue, and install them? let the glue sit a bit, then trim the plugs down flush. IF I watch how the grain on the plug and the hole are..the finished plug will just blend right in...we'll see
Stay tuned..
-
I've used plugs to repair fretboards. If you get it right, it's a beautiful thing.
-
This one may take a couple posts...
Plugs..
IMG_3532 (640x480).jpg
Hope I have enough of them....tools?
IMG_3533 (640x480).jpg
Screwdriver to pop the plugs out, chisel the trim the waste off when the glue has set, block plane to flush the plugs...hammer to set the plugs and drive the chisel..
IMG_3536 (640x480).jpg
Pop one out, grab the fat end between the thumb and finger, align the grain with the thumb, coat narrow end with glue
IMG_3534 (640x480).jpg
Hammer to drive each plug home. Took awhile,,,
IMG_3537 (640x480).jpg
Had to tip the case back a bit, so I could reach the lower holes....Let these set awhile..
IMG_3545 (640x480).jpg
Had just enough plugs, looks like. Cleared the bench..
IMG_3538 (640x480).jpg
Needed something to do, while waiting on the glue..
IMG_3539 (640x480).jpg
The "better" looking of these two 1 x 10s will be cut into two 36" long sides, for the bookcase. The ugly one under it...gets made into three shelves..
Part 2 coming up..stay tuned
-
Roh-kay, Raggy.....The shelf blanks needed all sorts of things done to them, to make them match each other..jointed..
IMG_3541 (640x480).jpg
Ends "shot"
IMG_3542 (640x480).jpg
Left this ganged up...will cut sliding dovetails later this week. Glue has set up enough, by now..
IMG_3543 (640x480).jpg
Bevel down, one tap with the hammer....waste part of the pug flies right off...
IMG_3544 (640x480).jpg
Bevel up usually results in the chisel digging a trench. Block plane to smooth the area down..
IMG_3547 (640x480).jpg
Need to come back with a chisel, to clean out along the beads.
IMG_3550 (640x480).jpg
Looks a bit better. Drawer tended to slide too far into the case...added a screw into the back edge of each drawer side...now I can adjust how far the drawer slides in.
Will let this sit, while I build the upper unit..
IMG_3549 (640x480).jpg
Hmmm, maybe a coat of Golden Oak stain, and a couple of Amber Shellac? Maybe make things look to good to paint?
Stay tuned...the cussing will start next time in the shop..

Thinking ahead...need to mill a rebate along the back edges of the two sides of the bookcase....Stanley 45, or Wards 78...hmmm.
Third 1 x 10 x 6' plank can make a top for the case, and a few other parts. I have a few boards set back, to make a panel for the door. Two are that "freckled" Pine like the drawer front. Was unable to find a second such board....may just add plain Pine to fill it out. Need a few 1-1/2" wide pieces for a face frame, and a frame around the door panel. Going to be a bunch of cutting and fitting going on....need to buy one more 1/4" plywood panel, for the back of the case. have enough for the drawer that goes between the two cases, that hides the cleats the top case is fitted to.
May need to take a pad and pencil to the shop, next time...to keep track of what part goes where, and what size it needs to be...
As always..stay tuned

Dropping back again....
ran a plane around today..
IMG_3561 (640x480).jpg
Wards 78 (Stanley) as I needed to mill a rebate for the plywood back..
IMG_3562 (640x480).jpg
Once I figured out which was the inside, and the back of these side boards..
IMG_3563 (640x480).jpg
Might have this set up just about right?
IMG_3565 (640x480).jpg
Got both side boards milled. Time to mill some grooves..
IMG_3573 (640x480).jpg
Dovetail bit in the router, set the guide fence, and mill a few sliding dovetail sockets...
IMG_3578 (640x480).jpg
Needed the big squares to transfer the lines for the guide to the second board, and mill those
IMG_3579 (640x480).jpg
Moved these two out of the way....have other items to do...
IMG_3583 (640x480).jpg
Two settings of the router's guide fence, once around the outside, reset to run the two inner grooves..
Stay tuned..
-
Got the other end of these three shelves milled..
IMG_3584 (640x480).jpg
Unclamped the mess, and started to slide the parts together..no glue....Middle shelf was a tad tight..hammer and a block of Maple to set it straight...set the assembly up on the case..
IMG_3585 (640x480).jpg
Going to be a tall one, again.
Can start to glue up the top, and build a face frame . Then maybe a drawer? We'll see how it goes...
Stay tuned
-
That ain't a plane, that's a Q-36 Space Modulator.
Golden Oak seems to be a go to for pine. Got some around, I think. Will have to give it a shot.
And yeah, I'd need a list for all them parts there, too.

I would have to refigure all the parts I have used for this....cut list is IN the Single Brain Cell Sketch Up...somewhere....
Have a board to cut down today.....
split.jpg
Have one more 1 x 10 x 6' there is a huge knot right at the 3' mark...I'll chop the knot out today, and try to build a top for the case. The remains will be used to make either the face frame parts, parts for the door panel, or parts to build a frame to hold the raised panel for the door's panels.
Lots of rip cuts coming up....don't feel like running the handsaws for that. Crosscuts? Should be with the handsaws, smaller cuts with the Langdon75...Maybe after Lunch, I can meander towards the shop...have to carry a board as I go...
Stay tuned..Bookcase build is started..
