Ok, Had to apply a coat of Ebony stain to that pine hutch. Stuff stinks, so might as well move to the front porch, and let the neighbors smell it instead.…Continue

That is what they said. Skipper wanted a patrol sent out. Company Area was up on a hilltop, along with a few 105mm guns. It seemed that the "Bad Guys" were using an old trail to supply their units with guns and such. Old Trail was maybe two "Klicks" away. Half of it was downhill, then across a little creek. From there, one went up a small ridge. Trail was on the far side of the ridge. We were to just go over to the small ridge, and watch for them bicycles to come down the…See More

Mystery Plank, the edge grain clean up
Posted on April 9, 2013 at 4:58pm 0 Comments 1 Like
Ok, i got the faces smoothed out, plank is now @ 3/4" x 10"~ x 19"~. Give or take a whisker. Next, I clamped the plank up in the vise to work on the edge grain. Seems there was a dippity-do going on one edge
Hit and miss, I guess. Ran the #6 and a #5 down the edge, until the level said it was…
Mystery plank: Part two of the handtool story.
Posted on April 9, 2013 at 4:50pm 0 Comments 1 Like
Ok, part two. grabbed a handsaw to trim a plank down, as I needed to harvest a panel out of a nasty looking board. 
The two chunks I cit off were almost mirror images of each other. ( Might be a lap desk in the works?) I was left with a 10" wide plank, about 19" or so long. Rough sawn isn't the word for…
two planks, vs handtools

Ok, I had two planks that needed some working down. I still had a leftover of Walnut from a small table build. Still rough sawn. Decided to clean it up a might. Worked on the faces first. Why? Just the way i do these things. Clamped the plank in the vise, just high enough so a plane didn't try to plane the top of my metal jawed vise. Got after the saw marks from a woodmizer saw, using a #5, and a #6 plane. More to get things a bit flat. Once the flat part was…

I got the last of those rafters in to the shop. Time to mill them down, and get them ready for winter. No heat in the shop.
De-nailed (almost) and cut to a manageble length. A bit of a rogue's gallery. Most are 2" thick, with some at 5" wide. Next a little re-sawing…
