    Under the weather...

    This being Day #5....nose is like an old, cheap Faucet....drip,drip, drip...sneezes are beginning to hurt, as is the chest cold's cough, and sore throat....

    Was informed this evening, that cold or no cold, I was on Laundry Detail....hamper was a bit too full to wait another day....I did manage to haul a 1 x 6 x 56-1/2" Ash plank to the shop. Goal was to cross cut it into two equal pieces...book-match them into a panel....then maybe tomorrow, I can lay out a few cuts....anyway, Shop Cat did NOT like the tablesaw being used...

    And made his opinion known LOUD and Clear....

    November Project, cross cut 1 plank.JPG
    2 cuts, as there was a bit of "split ends" on one end. Matching for grain?

    Hmmm, needs to be jointed, it would seem...
    November Project, joint an edge.JPG
    Stanley No.8c....made some "Moxxon TP"
    November Project, making shavings.JPG

    Soon had both pieces to where there wasn't any gaps....so...
    November Project, simple glue up.JPG
    Currently waiting on the clothes dryer to get done.....letting the glue up sit over night, at least...

    Trying for a 2 shelf stand, to hold the Boss's slipper collection...glue up will get cut into the 2 ends to hold the shelves...stay tuned...

    Those symptoms do not sound good. Do you have a home covid test?

    Everything seems to be getting better...SLOWLY....sore throat is about gone...nose has dried up....Sneezes still hurt. Has a bit of a gravel rumble in the chest...Headache has eased up...maybe one more day to get through this mess? No energy today...may try the shop, tomorrow? Did absolutely NOTHING today......

    Have to wait until tomorrow, and remove a few clamps...clean up the glue joints...and do a bit of layout work...

    Stay tuned....we are getting there...

    Sounds like you should be on a viral pill regiment. You have about 75% of the Covid symptoms. I had a severe viral infection 19 years ago and spent 3 days in the hospital after one of my eyes became paralyzed. I must be one of the original long sufferers of what is now called long Covid. If I work too hard, for too long, I have to sleep for about 1 1/2 hours to recover. It's been that way for 19 years. CALL YOUR DOCTOR!!!

    Still have a bit of a cough..more from COPD than the Chest Cold....everything else seems to be fine, now.....

    Shelf panel is out of the clamps....had a blob of dried glue try to cut a fingertip...we have ways of dealing with that sort of nonsense...
    Tues. Night Fights, glue line flat.JPG
    Millers Falls No. 11, Type 2
    Tues. Night Fights, flat.JPG
    That's better...needed to lay out a cut line...but first, I needed to square the ends..
    Tues. Night Fights, 2 shelves.JPG
    Then lay out an angled cut...except this was too small to use...
    Tues. Night Fights, too small.JPG
    So...
    Tues. Night Fights, just right.JPG
    Set to about 10 degrees. Sides of the case will toe in front to back....Fun part?
    Tues. Night Fights, Router Table work.JPG
    Pushing these angled ends through the router table...
    Tues. Night Fights, ends done.JPG
    Then use these to lay out the sockets...
    Tues. Night Fights, socket milled, end.JPG
    repeat for the other side's socket....decided to stop for the night.....still have to set up and mill for the top shelf's sockets...except, those will be stopped, and not all the way through..

    Stay tuned...

    In trying a full dry fit the other day....top shelf just would not install...was just over 1" too short...

    In the process of disassembly....one side panel did the splits.....so, NOW it is sitting clamped up while the glue dries. GRrrrrrrrr.

    New top shelf was laid out..awaiting milling. Spent yesterday out and about...hit 2 Antique Malls down in Springfield, OH. Saw a LOT of old tools, most were priced in their weight in Gold..found 2 planes to bring home..for just over $45..
    2 planes, .JPG
    One is a Millers Falls No. 9, type 2.....with the wrong front knob.....the other has a black Millers Falls frog and base....lever cap has "400" stamped to it's underside...and is a #3 size....

    Once the Slipper Caddy is done...I'll start to rehab these 2 planes......Road Trip was a "Me Day"...as 50 years ago yesterday, was my last day of being Single.....

    It fought tooth & nail, but..
    A Glue up day, end view.JPG
    We now have a glue up in progress....waiting on the glue to dry

    So..anything you all could tell me about a Lever cap that has "400" stamped to it's underside? It seems a tad too narrow for a #3 sized plane...rest of the #3 appears to be by Millers Falls...
    2 planes, wrong parts.JPG


    The larger plane has the wrong front knob, and is missing the bolt between the chipbreaker and iron. It does have a Millers Falls No. 9 stamped into the left side of the base..

    $35 for the No.9..and $10 for the #3 size plane...once the bench is cleared off, I can start a rehab on these 2...

    Happy anniversary. Congratulations. 50 years is rare. Take care of your cough. About your top shelf, the odds of being an inch short versus an inch long are about 80 to 20. I don’t know why.
