Ever since the Tool Cabinet has been finished...the planes are feeling neglected....
Plane Til rework, start up.JPG
The old Hammer Til has been removed, today. Unable to salvaged it, is out by the fire pit. Thinking about a "Bookcase" with doors....maybe with plexiglass "lights" in the doors? Maybe a few drawers, to hold the block plane crowd in check? Instead of standing these up, maybe sit them down on a series of shelves. Planes could sit on that foam drawer protector stuff you can buy for toolbox drawers?
Bought a bit of lumber, today....some 1 x 10 x 6's and a couple 1 x 4 x 6' planks....1 x 4s will get ripped down for stiles and rails for a pair of doors...Will wait and see what hinges will look/work the best. Will be a shelf of sorts, for the drawers to slide in on....then the first of several "main" shelves....to sit a few planes on....starting with the longest/heaviest on the first shelf....then work my way up.
need to sit this up, where the doors from it and the tool cabinet will get along...I can move the plane til back quite a bit, if need be. There is over 2' of space, front to back. have to allow for that swing.
"demo" of the old plane til starts tomorrow...will need a parking space for the planes to sit in...as the bench may be very busy....thinking dovetails at the corners? Shelves using sliding dovetails?
Stay tuned..the cussing has only just begun
