Coop Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I bought my router plane because it was cool looking. I've sharpened it twice since. Great tool. Box is gonna be sweet Tom! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 It's been a real good morning in the shop. Got my top hinge mortises done. Got my hinges installed, clocked my screws. Chamferred the breadboards, then softened the edges of the top. Oh, and wiped down with mineral spirits to see it come to life.

davewyo Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Beautiful box.Great lumber, sweet contrast. Well done on the chamfers. Killer breadboards. Nice crisp hinge installation.Just out of curiosity...do you always mill your lumber by hand, or was this just because of the figure and tear-out considerations?

However for this, I didn't wanna cut the board and reglue it. The board is 1 solid piece a little over 11" wide. I jointed one face, then ran it through the planer and then drum sander. The sides I hit with the smoother and didn't even sand once milled to thickness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I had to help slop butter and herbs on the turkey, mop the floor and set up tables and chairs for the mob that's coming over. No shop time. What's your secret? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No shop time. What's your secret? Not hosting, made apple crisp last night so I didn't have anything to do this morning, other than some woodworking, listen to music, enjoy some breakfast.

Tom Cancelleri Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Finished shaping and sanding the handle (pics later) Drilled the 1/8"pegs to reinforce the finger joints. Plugged with birch dowel, since that size walnut is near impossible to find locally, and I wasn't turning something that small. Masked the sueded micro fiber to prep for finish. I'm thinking final sanding and finish coat 1 tomorrow. Edited December 2, 2015 by Tom Cancelleri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaneymack Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Looking good Tom. With 6 more of these boxes to do you need to buy this;https://www.lie-nielsen.com/product/dowel-plate-standardWhat is the white stuff on the box?

Tom Cancelleri Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Sanding is all done, need to make feet, glue them on and then put finish on it. Decided to make it g&gish with some rounded elements instead of chamfers. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk What is the white stuff on the box?I wiped the joint and pegs with mineral spirits to bring out the colors and see how they looked with the pegs installed. The white is where i didn't wipe with MS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Tom, the finish doesn't wick under the tape? I would have thought you wouldn't be able to mask something like suede because it isn't a rigid surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought you wouldn't be able to mask something like suede because it isn't a rigid surface. It won't wick under. Waterlox is applied light and will soak in before any pooling occurs, I'll be very careful. Sent from my 831C using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 Feet! Because Eric said Do It! Used my making gauge to set the angle amount to grind with my disc sander. Set the miter gauge to 60 degrees. Took about 15 seconds each. Cutting them off on the table saw was the long part.

bushwacked Posted December 2, 2015 Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 why not cut on bandsaw? ... unless bandsaw was not an option ... seems a lot safer for something that small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Cancelleri Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 why not cut on bandsaw? ... unless bandsaw was not an option ... seems a lot safer for something that small I could, however i want the smoothest finish as possible, and that's my Freud ultimate cross cut blade, where it is being cut needs to be smooth as it is being glued, and also it is the bottom of the next foot. Miter gauge and some careful setup was just the thing. Before the next 6 boxes (24 feet) are made, I'll make a new table saw cross cut sled.
