Thread: Next Build?

  1. #121
    It's very beautiful wood, so I can sympathize. As for your back, give it a rest. Always pay attention to your body. Some of the worst injuries I ever had was when my body said "That's enough", but my brain said, "Just a little bit more".

    Dropping back here, again.....and it is ugly outside....snowbound.jpg so I snuck down to the shop for a little bit, got the panel out of the clamps
    face planed.jpg
    Worked on getting both faces cleaned up....Measured for final width..had to trim an edge back a bit
    extra.jpg
    Got the ends about as square as I could. Laid out for the end grain bevels..
    stop line.jpg
    Marked a stop line about 1-1/2" in from the edge. Doing the end grain first...
    Beveled.jpg
    Left a 1/2" thick edge. Got both ends done, and set up for the sides.
    edge grain.jpg
    Instead of these smaller planes to make the bevel..
    two planes.jpg
    The red logo Stanley is set coarse, Plain Jane is set fine. Run at a diagonal to the grain, one roughs out the bevel, the other refines it....
    jack plane.jpg
    Long edge grain, I used a jack plane....
    Trying to get a mitered corner...
    Stay tuned, more to come..

    Once the bevels were done, time to flip the panel over, and use the Wards 78

    Was almost done with the end grain ends...happen to notice the spur wasn't used..ooops. Saw cut on the end.Test fits as I went along..

    Wound up shorting the rails by a hair....more coverage on the side rebates...more dry fits..
    IMG_3688 (640x480).jpg
    Got all four edges rebated and fitted....final dry fit
    dry fit.jpg
    Before the glue, clamps and cauls come out..
    clamped up.jpg
    Will let this mess sit overnight..

    Well, was a busy morning, today. Built a skinny drawer..
    drawer fitted.jpg
    And fitted into the spot it will call home..
    IMG_3720 (640x480).jpg
    Added a pair of cleats..
    cletus 1, 2.jpg
    Two countersunk screws into the top, and two screws to attach the bookcase with. project is designed to be taken apart for transport ( like up my stairs) the cleats will hold the bookcase upper unit in place, when things are sitting still. The cleats also act as drawer guides.
    Got four pads for the feet installed...
    foot pads.jpg
    And added a coat of Golden Oak stain..
    bookcase.jpg
    Even the inside of the door was given a coat..
    drawer PIP.jpg
    Had to "arrange " the grain on the drawer front, and matched the knob to it..
    shelf unit.jpg
    A freckled drawer. I also stained the two shelves. Those get a pair of folding baskets each.
    stained PIP.jpg
    waiting on the stain to dry, before the top coats of Amber Shellac go on...shop is not the best place to take Project pictures...might try after it gets upstairs?

    Almost done, stay tuned..

    Things came to a standstill, yesterday....Friday night wound up in the ER, A-Fib attack...BAD ONE. Then most of Saturday in the ICU...released back home last night

    LONG nap...still not feeling very good...have to call my Cardio Doctor Monday, and see what he says...

    Might be another day or two..before the Shellac goes on...stay tuned.

    Whoa. Yep, slow down and wait and see what the doc says. Wood ain't going anywhere.
    My prayers are with you and yours.

    Heart issues, head issues, and now a Thyroid issue....Might be a while before the next build-along happens.

    So, until a finish suddenly happens on the Pine Stepback Cupboard Project....this thread is done. If it does get a finish on it, I WILL post it in the Projects forum.


    Again, I want to thank all who followed along with this little project...Thank you.
