Trials and tribulations
This morning I got all my legs freed from the clamps and got them all cleaned up and ready for the veneers.
I tried using my planer with a 1/2 mdf as a backer to get the veneers down to 1/16. Well it was working fine until I took too much off on one of the passes and blew out 2 of the veneers.
All this with an un-put-together Jet 16/32 drum sander that I could have used sitting in the corner of the shop laughing at me. Crap!
Well tomorrow I am going to Woodcraft to get some sandpaper for it and it is going to get some use. I could carry on with the same technique since I know full well why they blew out but the time I spent wit the double stick tape just isn't worth it.
Once I get the veneers all done, its off to the vacuum press for all four legs, then I can start the mortises. All this after I make some new veneer of course.
