Popular Post Brendon_t Posted January 19, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 While stocking up on 6" paper recently to feed the new ec sander, I started getting annoyed at the boxesof paper under the bench. I had an organizer for 5"paper so decided to throw together a box for 6"paper from 1/2 bb ply scraps. Then it I had to look at it every day under there, my own advise haunting me to not miss a chance to do something you haven't done before on shop projects. So here is the replacement. Made of blackbean sides and some Birdseye for the front and back. The new to me technique was pinning the rabbet with metal pins. Finished with blo then rattle can laquor over the top. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HA well that would have been a crap ton faster. I had some thin aluminum rod in my tool box from who the hell knows why. It mic'd slightly under the first drill bit I grabbed. A little epoxy helped it slip in proper. The rod sanded down easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephThomas Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Nice job. You sanded them down with normal paper? What grit did you have to go up to for them to be nice and shiny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blackbean had already been scraped so I just went with 220.. it could have polished up to a high shine but Thad juice wasn't worth the squeeze. 1 hour ago, wdwerker said: Must resist urge to post something inappropriate.......
