Project Information
Have you ever been in the shop working on project longer than you should ? Your tired, you know you should quit, and yet you keep going, just a little further. And then something goes wrong. Thank goodness it was just a box and not my fingers.
I was trying out a new mortising jig (for small box hinges) that I made from a YouTube video, (which does't work so well) and I put the jig on the front of the box instead of the back. It was late, I was tired, I should have known better. So I emailed Alan and asked for help. He has the right sanders, the right mortise making machines and hinges, and most of all the knowledge to correct my mistakes. He knew just what to do. Plus he had the idea of putting a thin angled bandsaw kerf in the top of the box to hold the recipe card in place while your cooking. A great idea.
To all of you who get tired in the shop, stop, take a break, or call it a day, and Stay Safe and not sorry. I was fortunate to such a gifted friend as Alan to save the day.
