Hey Guys....! I've never wanted to admit I've been to busy for my friends, but that's kinda what's been
going on for several months. Thought I'd check-in and bring Ya up to date. I've been getting ready to renovate
my Mom's old home place to move over there. I told June that I needed a good shop first, so that's where I am.
I plan to tear the house down all the way to just the studs and build everything myself after the shop is
ready....
Gotta get the ground ready first:
Then put up the shop:
Building an assembly table:
Parts for a new table saw:
I got hold of 4 tons of red oak lumber, already planed and square:
A couple more benches and brought some power tools over:
The biggest things is a woodworking bench I've always wanted to build. I plan to build it all with hand
tools, no power tools at all.
This is the first laminate section of the table top going together:
Installing a stove. Wont be insulating until later in the year:
Chopping a mortice:
One down, seven to go:
My granddaughters helping laminate the other bench top:
Planing one of the tops:
Sawing a tenon on one of the leg sections:
Mortice and tenon with a haunch for leg stretchers:
Ready for glue-up:
I found some walnut dowels for pins. I think the walnut contrasts well with the red oak:
It's no were near done, but dry fitted it together to see what still needs planing. That's a tool well
down the middle:
I'll be sharing more as things progress....
