    Round-over bit has been run around...
    Up-date Sunday, round overs.JPG
    Everything sanded to 220 grit....then the stain was brushed on, and wiped off..

    Waiting on that to fully dry out...maybe tomorrow, I can add the Clear Gloss Poly?

    Nose has finally dried up, cough is gone.....seems the chest cold is done, until next spring....
    Stay tuned...

    The "After"....the #3 size plane was made by Millers Falls, sold by Sears as a Fulton No. 3709 BB. The Millers Falls No. 9 now has a proper front knob..

    Under the lever cap there is a Patent date..

    The Fulton has a Black Frog..

    While the No.9 has the usual RED frog..

    Both planes seem to be about the same age....Pre-war Type 2....

    I think I might find some use for these 2....

    Well, that Chest Cold has returned....along with an attack by Sir Arthur(itis) that is preventing my use of my hands, right now....Maybe brought on by...
    The Re Saws, over lap line.JPG
    Running the old Disston RIP saw?

    The Re Saws, needs planed.JPG

    Nose is running like an old Faucet....drip, drip, drip....one minute I'm roasting, the next minute I'm FREEZING....and it HURTS to cough.....this is starting to get old...

    Battled muscle cramps/spasms all night long..last night. Am in no shape to even think about any shoptime, today....Shop will be closed today...that "Monday" thing.


    Tuesday? We'll see...need to lay out a saw/chop finger/box joints.....Until the hands cramp up....

    Stock for this Project is all 3/8" thick....some in Maple, some in Ash..and one in Pine, that will be the floor of the box..

    The Boss and I both have been bit by the same bug....so, we are both on "Sick Call" today......too many wake-up calls from Uncle Charles ( Horse) makes using my legs and hands a No-Go....Stairs are a bit painful to go up or down....let alone push a plane around. Or handle a hand saw....right now, the Boss is busy, throwing up.....not one of our better days, here...

    Steve, hope you get better...take care of yourself. I am going to strongly recommend you figure a way to heat your workshop to at least 68 degrees or even 70. Working in a cold workshop in the winter at 60 to 64 degrees just caused me to have a lot of hand pain.

    Hopefully, there will NOT be any more Wake-up Calls from Sir Charles tonight.......had way too many this morning...at around 0500...

    Nose has dried up, cough ( other than COPD) is gone.....limit on shoptime is set at 1 hour....until I can work without getting any cramps......as soon as the toes start in, I am done....ribs can get cramps? Ankles? Try going #1 when your fingers are all cramped up.....

    And then some people wonder WHY I seem a bit on the Grumpy side.....

    Will try again, tomorrow....not much else going on....Boss also being sick. Not sure who gave it to whom.....yet.
