jhl.verona Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I am a master of using the kitchen chairs as sawhorses, much to my wife's displeasure. On page 8 of Toshio Odate's book "Japanese Woodworking Tools" is a design for something that'll go nicely under the bed... I picked up an offcut of a laminated Fir table top, 40mm thick (and cupped like a saucer). The tools used: The result of a full day's work (well it was cold and rainy out): My #4 in front to show scale, and the underside: Fortunately the photographs hide the mess I made of most of the joints. Gifted with 20/20 hindsight, there are quite a few things I would do differently, but it was fun, and it's not going on the mantelpiece John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petersb Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Saddle up them ponies! Nice work John! It's good to see that you are still doin' it to it. How are the sleds? Did you get a chance to try them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhl.verona Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Cute, I might have to use those for my canoe. Send me the canoe and I'll check it out . ... How are the sleds? Did you get a chance to try them out? All received enthusiastically around Christmas, with comments like "you made that?", which I took as a compliment . Still waiting for the first reviews from the younger critics. Perhaps 'Uncle John' will have to take them himself... John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Slack Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Ciao Johnny. I said this before and will keep saying this. The Europeans are masters of using cubic space and maximizing our rooms. This is fantastic work. I am a master of using the kitchen chairs as sawhorses, much to my wife's displeasure.
