      Slow Server?

      By Ron Swanson Jr. · Posted

      What a sad state of affairs the Internet has become. Can't even have a tiny, harmless little WW forum without it being constantly attacked. What could there possibly be gained from harassing this forum???

      WTO was down briefly at 5:53pm Eastern.  I emailed Marc, and now it's back up.

      [Oops, this post was supposed to go in my workbench journal.] Flush cut my pegs and cleaned up the glue squeeze out from the long rails. I noticed a couple of the pegs broke below the surface so I applied a little wood putty to smooth things out. Started on the shelf. I'm sandwiching two pieces of plywood under and over a cleat to make a void I can fill with, e.g., sand bags if I decide I want more mass.  Chance to break out the pinch rods. I added a 1/16 shim so I'd have a little play and also moved the rods around to find the tightest spot. The rod just moves right over to the table saw, without the shim, to set the fence and cut the shelf to width. For the shelf length, I used a tape measure since my rods are not long enough. Less fun but good enough. I cut the shelf to length (45") with the track saw. I cut the corners to fit around the legs with a Japanese pull saw and did a little shaving with a low-angle block plane where the plywood was too tight. Bottom of shelf fits. Top part and cleats to follow tomorrow.

      What did you do today?

      By Ron Swanson Jr. · Posted

      Yesterday was my day to host the meeting for the box Makers SIG that I'm part of. I was to give a demonstration on hand cut dovetails.  I have never done that in front of an audience. I learned there's a pretty big difference between peacefully working alone at my own speed,  And trying to go fast through the process with 5 guys literally standing over my shoulder.  Still a good meeting and enjoyable time with a good group though.
