Was somebody asking to see your work? Thanks

I did my own. It's a super simple design. Very easy to figure out without paying for plans.

We can do it on my bandsaw. I'll be over there this weekend packing the shop. I can only resaw 6 inches, but that slab looks like pretty straight grain, so you could rip it into 6 inch strips, resaw those, and glue them back together for the top. If we're careful where we cut, the glue lines will be invisible. Chris

I'm between homes currently, so the table will have to wait until we get into the new house. My new shop is epic. I'll text you a pic. Also, come get this block plane!

Cory!! maybe I've been lucky, or maybe it's our climate here in beautiful southern Idaho, but I have not experienced Many wacky wood movement issues. You know I build slow (still working on the coffee table), and the top is still flat as a pancake. It's had good air movement, but it's just been leaning against a wall. I've only had a milled part move significantly once. The only time something went wonky is when I milled something, and didn't allow for airflow.

Corey, What's it gonna hold? The amount of weight will narrow down your options. You can borrow my Domino if it would help. Chris

I am the genius who knocked it off my bench! Stupid gravity.

I'm going through this in the next few months. I'm gonna store everything until I'm in the new house. I love my tools, and it took me a lot of time and effort to get where I am. I expect I could buy them all again if I sold them, but I don't want to count on that and find out my money aint right. Keep your stuff. Chris

I really like this. Clean, unadorned. Good craftsmanship. Good job.

Cory, I think it will be fine, but getting a new board would be safest. Is there structure to secure the panel to near the middle of the bow?

Nice work, Cory! Chris

The Norton flattening stone is rubbish. Go buy a course diamond plate for flattening the stones. It's also useful for regrinding bevels. When I do this, I find that switching between my diamond stone, and my 1000 waterstone makes regrinding go much more quickly. I have no idea why. Totally counter-intuitive.

My wife would have preferred that too.

Drow - I'm in West, West Boise (Eagle and McMillan). We should get together sometime. Chris

Really cool. Great work. Chris
