    Something for August

    Well, I still had all of this stash of resaws..
    Thin stockpile, 2.JPG
    Maybe glue them up into panels?
    Thin stockpile, 1.JPG
    so..
    August Project Start, back panel.JPG
    And..
    August Project Start, End panel 1.jpg
    Not too sure about that knot..
    August Project Start, End panel 2.JPG
    And..most came out at..
    August Project Start, size 2.JPG
    About 8" wide....none of the 4 panels matched each other for length...we can fix that, once the clamps come back off...


    Have a 1 x 6 upstairs, with a bit of Live Edge....may save that for a lid's front edge. rest of the board will get ripped and cut into Stiles & Rails, to house the glued up panels

    Stay tuned...

    Out of the Foret de Pinces....cross cut to make either long sides, or shorter end panels...
    August Project, 4 sides.JPG
    Somehow..8" width looked a bit too wide....was making the panels look a bit too "Square" ripped all 4 down to 5" width...and kept the 3" wide cutoffs for another use..(tray, maybe)

    Most of the panels needed to be planed flat, anyway...
    August Project, plane work.JPG
    Trying to make the glue joints disappear...
    August Project, no glue joint.JPG
    Some were a bit tricky to plane...with just a Stanley No. 3, Type 11....
    August Project, almost flat.JPG
    Almost flat...


    Have to haul a 1 x 6 plank to the shop, after Lunch....there is a section with a live edge, that might work out for the lid....the rest of that plank will get cut up into Stiles & Rails...to house 4 panels....may leave the panels flat? Maybe a rebate around on the inside face?

    Stay tuned....

    A 1 x 6 x 65-1/2" plank was hauled to the shop...middle section had a live edge..
    Weekend work, live edge.JPG
    So, I cut that section out..and set aside...what was left, was ripped down into 1-1/2" wide strips...
    Weekend work, first rips.JPG
    Some of which came from this area..
    Weekend work, bit of spalt.JPG
    Still had some rough edges...and since I wanted all to be the same width.were run through again at 1-3/8" width...

    Then some crossing cutting..
    Weekend work, long side parts.JPG
    8 parts for the long sides, and..
    Weekend work, short end parts.JPG
    8 parts for the shorter ends..

    Thinking that 7/8" was a bit too thick...decided to thin things down to 5/8" thick..
    Weekend work, results.JPG
    Was able to run all 16 parts through in a single pass for each part...fingers being kept safe by.
    Weekend work, push stick.JPG
    This push stick for narrow boards...

    Big question now..?
    Weekend work , not too sure.JPG
    Too much width of groove? Maybe add a rebate to the inside edges of the panels?

    Had to make a new zero clearance overlay....as the old one was broken....will post as a different subject...

    Stay tuned...

    The Dungeon Woodshop is a Hybrid Wood shop....I use whatever tool that will do the task I need done. So...
    Sunday Funnies, not enough rebate.JPG
    ..The Sunday Funnies began here, by adding a rebate around all four panels....then..
    Sunday Funnies, working that groove.JPG
    Rebates need a groove to call home...Can't quite use the Stanley 45 for these...not enough room for the 45's fence..16 grooves to do, takes a while...then..
    Sunday Funnies, test fit,ends.JPG
    Needed Tenons milled....8 parts (rails) x 2 = 16 tenons..
    Sunday Funnies, needs a little work.JPG
    Rebate needed adjusted to match the grooves....had to also trim the panels back a bit...to match the rails...

    Some parts were a bit fancy...
    Sunday Funnies, fancy that.JPG
    More so than others...legs and toes were just starting to cramp up..time to stop..
    Sunday Funnies, that's enough fun.JPG
    That will be enough of the Sunday Funnies, I think....

    Still to do? Mortises for those soon-to-be Haunched Tenons, Tongue & Groove for the corner joints, after that? Maybe a glue up?

    Stay tuned..

    Paying the price this morning...Sir Uncle Charles has taken up residence in both feet, and trying to spread up the right shin.....was a very RUDE wake-up call, this morning.....

    Monday? Monday?? I think the shop will be closed, today.....not getting off to a very good start.

    Need to reset the Mortise Jig...stiles are a bit narrower that the last batch. Need to decide on the feet detail on the box.....and the T & G corner joints need to be done...and haunch the tenons....

    Would be a full day in the shop...just not on a Monday...

    Stay tuned.....

    Decided to reset the Mortise Jig...and have it ready to go...It WAS set up for 3/4" thick stock....moved one jaw a bit..
    Planes and jigs, reset.JPG
    So it now holds the 5/8" thick parts..
    Planes and jigs, test fit.JPG
    A nice snug fit...but, I can still add a clamp..
    Planes and jigs, clamp it, Jed.JPG
    So things won't move...right now, the part is slid out a bit, to allow for laying out a mortise, tomorrow..
    Planes and jigs, mortise chisel.JPG
    have also laid out the chisel and mallet...so they are ready to go...
    Planes and jigs, haunched tenon.JPG
    Mortise is to be laid in off of this tenon...note the Haunch...

    And that was it, for a Monday....quit while I was ahead...

    Stay tuned..

    8 mortises are now done...dry fitted, panels adjusted...gaps closed..
    Working Tuesday 2, Both ends dry fitted.JPG
    Used these things a lot, today..
    Working Tuesday 2, mortise tools.jpg

    Was trying to close up a couple gaps..
    Working Tuesday 2, 2nd try.JPG
    Usually from the haunch not allowing things to fully seat.

    No glue yet...debating on whether to try a third time in the shop...

    Panels had to be trimmed a bit....needed the stiles from the front and back to keep the clamps in place....can't chop any more mortises, until after the ends are glued up...

    Stay tuned...

    Test fitted the panels for the front/back frames..
    Wed. Chopping, dry fit, panel.JPG
    Something wasn't working out just right...
    Wed. Chopping, check for square.JPG
    Besides being too long, and too wide....panels were out of square...

    Got the ends squared up...needed to adjust the rebates all around, to account for the new length and width...tablesaw for that.....one panel caught the spinning blade before I was ready..kick back! Side of the right hand kept the panel from flying away...gonna be a bruise. Also, take a look at these corners...
    Wed. Chopping, needs trimmed.JPG
    Never know these are SHARP....to fine tune the widths of the panels...I was using a handplane...only needed 3, maybe 4 strokes....between #2 and #3 stroke, I came back a bit too far...
    Wed. Chopping, OW!.JPG
    Yep, one of THEM days.....

    One last check to see how the panels fit...then start on a few mortises...
    Wed. Chopping, 1st of 4.JPG
    1st of 4, for today...Another Dry Fit?
    Wed. Chopping, 4 done.JPG
    Those haunch tenons? They were mis-cut, but, since they are to be facing down under the box....meh..set this over with the 2 ends..
    Wed. Chopping, Dry Fit.JPG
    2 glue-ups, one dry (no glue) fit....no clamps needed...
    Wed. Chopping, Next 4.JPG
    Last assembly can wait a day....chisels are by Witherby....Mallet was having a hard time, today....it was getting confused about whether to hit the wooden parts, or my hand holding a chisel...

    Bench was getting pretty messy..
    Decided to quit for the day...was getting a bit sore, anyway.

    haven't decided whether to try to glue up today's work..or wait and do both of the sides...

    Stay tuned..

    Late last night...slipped back to the shop....and...
    Thurs. Morning, late night work.JPG
    This will be either the front, or the back of the box...haven't decided..yet...

    Today's Tasks?
    Thurs. Morning, Tools.jpg
    Use these tools....
    Thurs. Morning, at the ready.JPG
    To lay out and chop the last 4 mortises...and then see about a glue up....


    Maybe after that, try to make this thing..
    Thurs. Morning, live edge top.JPG
    Into a live edge lid.....Not sure if it will be 7/8" thick, or try to thin it down to 5/8" thick....might be a bit tricky to resaw?

    Inventory of the clamps...as I have removed them this morning..
    Two 18" F style clamps..
    Eight 12" F style clamps
    Eight C clamps
    Friday Afternoon, front corner.JPG
    Total of 18 clamps...and 8 cauls
    Friday Afternoon, leveling.JPG
    Have checked the box for square, once the clamps were put away.....seems to be square. Need to clean up the dried glue squeeze outs...level a few spots.
    Friday Afternoon, high spot.JPG
    Bottom panel will rest on "slips"....that I need to rip to size, miter the ends, and glue in place.....then a 1/4" plywood panel will get glued to the slips.
    Friday Afternoon, 4 slips.JPG
    Friday Afternoon, 3rd hand.JPG
    Friday Afternoon, dry fit slips.JPG
    Then a bit of glue...
    Friday Afternoon, 2 slip glue up.JPG
    Will get the end slips tomorrow
    maybe later, I can work on a lid of some sort?
    Friday Afternoon, lid parts.JPG
    Now that the parts are all 5/8" thick...
    Stay tuned..
