    Spoon Tray?

    Needed a break from all them sharpening threads...so...
    Sorted through what is left in the scrap pile.....then resaw them all down....Flatten them all down...select the 4 that are closest to the same thickness...

    Cleared off the tablesaw....needed to make them close to the lengths I needed....then the ends were "Squared" up..

    Yes, it reads 80 degrees...

    Also have a 1/8" thick slab for the bottom....
    Spoon Tray, 10 degrees .JPG
    Guess I won't be needing this square...
    Spoon Tray, slipped a little .JPG
    However, this one will be very busy...

    Have 2 settings to use...one to lay out the pins, the other to carry the cut lines down to a baseline....Then the freshly sharpened Jackson Backsaw...

    And that will do as a start...Was getting tired from all the resaw stuff...wanted to avoid any Brain Vapours....Can try again, later today....

    Stay tuned

    It would seem that 2 such corners is more than enough "work" for one day...don't want to work too hard for a Friday...Good or otherwise..so
    Spoon Tray 2 corners, dry fit .JPG
    Will be rather tricky to clamp up...may have to angle some cauls..
    Spoon Tray 2 corners, check for square .JPG
    And try to keep things square..
    Spoon Tray 2 corners, weighty subject .JPG
    May have to resort to a bit of weight....

    All that can wait a day...
    Spoon Tray 2 corners, next 2 .JPG
    As I have two more corners to mill...

    Stay tuned...

    Will be a bit too busy, with other things this week (mainly doctor visits, rehab for vertigo, and the Boss has errands) to make it down to the shop. Maybe next weekend, eh?
