A start up
Try something a little…different, this time around. First, I needed to resaw a bunch of scraps down..
Figured IF I could cut exactly down the center, I could double the wood supply…well..
Missed it by that much, Chief…Tablesaw can not reach all the way, so..
Which left..
And a tired me from the Cardio Workout…Those narrow scraps did not required any hand saw work…but, like the rest of these boards..
Required a plane to smooth things out..
Or 3. All this work, to get a few parts made…
To build a chest with a pair of drawers…
2 will get glued up as a lid..
Once the edges were jointed…
Boards are 5/16" thick….sitting there, no glue, no gaps, no leaning over…needed the vise as a 3rd hand, to help in the glue-up..
And a caul at the top…vise jaws acting as a caul as well.
Other parts?
Narrow piece for across the front, above the drawers, long piece will get trimmed down and will be the back of the case….the other two will be the ends. Lots of plane work to do….getting wavy edges straight, and parts the same width..
Some were a bit wider than others…
Will be a few grooves needed, one above and one below the top drawer. Need to hide those grooves, too. And, one rebate to hide the plywood edge.
Stay tuned….the cussing, er…FUN, is about to begin….Plan? All done with the Single Brain Cell Sketch Up….
