Just something to do, rather than endlessly jousting at the windmills of the perfect edge.....decided to use a few tools...
Ash Project Start, inventory.JPG
Already had supply of parts....but needed to crosscut a plank to make a couple sides and MAYBE a raised panel for the door...measured the spaces for the DVD cases..using a case..
Ash 1 x 6 x 6' plank did have a nasty looking end...on both ends...removed those...mark a line.

Even drag a knife along the line...then use a Panel saw to cross cut...

making sure I used the proper grip...

Saw is 20" long, 8ppi....have no idea who made it. Saw was sharpened by me, though...after the first few strokes, saw wanted to pull a hair to the right...a quick 2 passes with a stone....and a rub down from a candle...

Line is barely there...checked for square...more to see how straight the cut was..

Then rinse and repeat..

Until I had 2 sides, and a shorter "extra" plank to make a raised panel out of...and two end chunks for kindling...and a wee bit more of sawdust..

Stay tuned for the rest of the day's shoptime...
