 A tray from those Ash scraps #3: Another glue up, and a PIPHave about one more week to get all that Ash scrap wood used up…then a deck project takes over. But.. This time, I remembered the dividers….had to, as the bottom gets glued on over them..let it sit for a day…the a clean up was done.. Bottom was a tad too wide…we have ways… Millers Falls No. 11….seemed to do the job.. The ends were a bit long, too…sanded them smooth, rather than mess with end grain and planes… Aslo tried to improv...  Toy build #1: Tow trucks from scrapsHi All the link is to all the pictures that I took while building 4 toy tow trucks from the scraps around the shop and the firewood plie. https://transfernow.net/17k2i1k6e4jt There are a lot of pictures here; but they do have a preview. Anyone wanting any more information; please email me and I will happily provide it. As always ideas and suggestions always appreciated Thanks. Box from Ash scraps #8: Out of the clamps, and a PIPmay change the Blog title to Boxes? Box #2 came out of the clamps, yesterday…had to hang all of them up… Had 9 clamps on that little box! Spent a bit of time….cleaning up glue joints…couple high spots that needed leveled out, edges need planed straight, and match all the way around…..couple corners needed sanded square….was finally able to sit the box on a plywood panel… Trace around…then cut out the bottom panel for the box….tr...  Drill charging and sanding stationIts been a busy few months. I moved in to a new shop and now I need to create some storage and organization for some of my tools and equipment. The first project was this drill charging and sanding station made out of baltic birch plywood and attaches to the wall with a french cleat. Thanks for watching! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrjidHS12wY&t=13s Box from Ash scraps #5: Out of the clamps, and a PIPWas finally able to get some shop time Sunday….first part was before Lunch…Box was removed from the forest of clamps….long fingers were sanded down flush….and a few high spots were also lowered a bit….right before Lunch.. Marked and cut out a lid from the glued up panel….marked out, and cut a 1/4” plywood panel for a bottom and glued that in place…using the bench’s vise to hold things tight, while the glue dried, and I had some Lunch&...  Curiosity made me do it #1: Grizzly Paint ColorsWas curious if I could find a Grizzly touch up paint color that would match a Geetech jointer I own. Since OWWm.org site does catalog information on non-US made wood working tools, touch up colors can be hard to find for off brand, now antique Taiwan made wood working tools. Ended up digging out this paint color summary in Grizzly parts catalog that I thought might be nice to share: Grizzly PPAINT-1 – N/S GRIZZLY GREEN G1023SGrizzly PPAINT-1A – N/S GRIZZLY GREEN G1023S AE... Box from Ash scraps #2: In and out of the clampsGetting panels made, then cleaned up out of the clamps.. Started with this, and cleaned it up.. Sander and planes to get things flat and almost smooth…reused the clamps.. And a third panel was glued up….came back the next day… Removed all of these, and cleaned this long panel up..along with #3 #4 was jointed and clamped up.. And set aside…next day, got #4 cleaned up, box was looking a little odd…decided I could build two boxes by cross cutting a...   Lounge Chair #5: Upright LegsCut from 8/4 cherry. Cut to a width of about I want to say four inches and about 22 inches long. With a flexible ruler, I traced the two curves. In the middle, it is almost straight for about 3 or so inches. I then took it to the bandsaw and later cleaned up the curves on an oscillating spindle sander. The first picture shows how the arm will look with a leg and the second is the two legs together. . Chester Drawers build #13: Drawers done, and a PIPOk…issues with the drawer not wanting to close all the way…..seems the back of the drawer was a hair too wide…was finally able to repair the beltsander’s plug, so the beltsander was used to narrow the back of the drawer…drawer slid right in.. So…the other two drawer backs got an 1/8” removed in length. Plywood panels had been bought…and cut to size, almost…had to remove that 1/8” off of them as well…new box of 1-5/8”...
