My grandfather was the hardest man I've ever known. Treated his own kids like employees. No love at all. And stubborn. He wouldn't stop woodworking even after he went almost completely blind...until he cut his thumb off at the table saw. LOL But he was very gentle and sweet with the grandkids. I still remember walking him around the block, leading him by the hand like a seeing-eye dog. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted June 12, 2017 Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 With My dad I always wondered if it was a german thing or was it from being through the depression and World War II. Last thing I said to my dad before he passes a way was "I love you" his response was Uh huh. I will alway remember that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess if that was what you were used to, it was no surprise. My father was not in WWII, but my grandfather was. My father came here when he was 5 so he is more Canadian than German. I speak to my dad daily on the phone and whenever I tell him I love him he always responds that he loves me as well. He never heard that from his father his entire life.

My dad was a very warm and sensitive person but it's strange that he was, at least based on the way he was raised. I guess his childhood gave him a good insight on how NOT to treat your children.

Popular Post shaneymack Posted June 25, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Now that all the parts were scraped i sanded everything with 220 grit. Last thing to do before glue up was chamfering the through tenons. I chamfered the long sides on the router table And the rest with my block plane Glue up went so well I got a little cocky and snapped a pic mid glue up. I used West systems. Glue up went well. I was super careful to make sure i didn't get any epoxy on the through tenons. No squeeze out at all there ! Took the clamps off and started the doors. I fit the stiles with spacers representing the reveals With those perfect, i marked the rails with the marking knife Cut it a little long at the chop saw Then worked it to a perfect fit at the shooting board Nice fit After that it was over to the domino station Glued it up a little to fast. Forgot my rabbets for the glass. Oh well. Domino joints are so ridiculously easy and produce such a great joint. Always impressed Pays off taking the time to fit the parts perfectly with the reveals. Straight out of the clamps and reveals are perfect. I rabbeted the backs for the glass and squared up the corners with chisels. Next up was mortising the doors for the hinges. I installed the hinges with steel screws for now. How cheap can Brusso be?? They seriously can't provide you with steel screws. Or atleast one steel screw of the proper size to thread the hole before driving the brass screws? Cmon Brusso, stop being so stingy. Using wax and driving the screws by hand, I still managed to snap a head off one of the steel screws. Oops. Guess i will be gluing in a brass head there lol. Wont be the first time. Doors are in ! Reveals are good except the bottom reveal of the upper door. Now i get to start installing clock parts ! I look forward to that. Hope i don't break anything lol. Seriously fragile stuff!

wdwerker Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Coming along nicely ! It would be a lot of work to dig out that broken screw, and those doors won't get much use realistically. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a lot of work to dig out that broken screw, and those doors won't get much use realistically. Thanks, Steve. I totally agree. Not only would it be alot of work but I'd probably break something else while doing it. Just not worth it.

wdwerker Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 I've been meaning to get a set of those tubular saw looking screw extractors. http://www.rockler.com/screw-extractor One of those with a Big Gator v drill guide blocks should make a job like that fairly controlled. https://www.biggatortools.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
