next up? still some wood left

[steven c newman]

And...thinking about resawing them down to 3/8" or so.....like right down the center...

Bandsaw merely burns it's way along.....likes to wander a bit, too..

Might try the tablesaw....to cut a 2" deep kerf all the way around.....then use the handsaw to finish the cuts.....could just go to 1" or 1-1/2" deep....

As to what I will do with a stack of 3/8" thick boards....that remains to be seen....might even find a use for a 1/8" wide chisel....

Might see about some shop time, later this week...


Stay tuned...

I know I have done that in the past, I just don't remember why I did it; it has been a while. The nice thing is that I clearly established the path that the saw should take into the wood.

Settled on 1" depth...

Hey...real saw dust!

Which meant even more Cardio...

Had a few narrow scraps..

That won't require a rip saw...

Just a few swipes with the smooth plane. Thinking these will make a drawer, or two, while the rest will make a box to hold the drawers...
Might be enough..

To even make a lid with....

Stay tuned

Spent a quick 20 minutes in the shop, tonight...making a bit of a mess..
Resaws, mo shavings.JPG
The culprits to making all of this?
Resaws, 3 amigos.JPG
Stanley No. 3, Type 11.....WR No. 62.....Millers Falls No.14 ( no camber) Jack plane...got about half of the resaws planed, some needed both faces done...

Soooo...do you think this plane might be too big?
Resaws, overkill, maybe.jpg
Stanley No. 6c, Type 10 ( 2 patent dates)......maybe?

Well, anyway, this is how I do resaws in my shop....and get a cardio workout to boot. Will end this thread here, as the wood will go to a Box build thread. Will start the build thread later this week.


Thanks for looking in! Beats planing a 3/4" thick board down to 5/16" thick...too much waste, that way....

Boss wants to go shopping...with the "driver" being me...I guess I have to go along..
