Tomorrow my guess is I'll spend most of the day digging through the wood pile trying to find something 4/4 wide enough, long enough, and straight enough to make a tool tray. I really don't want to go to the wood store.
Right now for the tool tray, if I find an ok hunk of wood, I'm thinking a simple rebate with glue and cut nails, quick and dirty but with the nails it should look pretty good. If I end up using some Pine I'll have to think about it.

This end looks good. I hadn't picked up on you face gluing the slab together. Are you going to put holes in the slab for bench hooks?
ReplyDeleteRalph,
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure on dog holes just yet. I plan on selling this bench or giving it away whichever happens first :-). I figure I'll let the new owner put the dog holes where he/she wants them.
I just looked at the photo, it does look like the slab is face glued. I just haven't finished cleaning up the cut. It is a normal glue up of vertical slats.

Get an adze and you could start a dugout tool tray movement. Something for when the temps go below 105F.
ReplyDeleteWhen does the next bench start?
Steve,
ReplyDeleteDon't tell MsBubba but I may go to the wood store this week. Starting mid-Sept Sweet Maggie Dog and I will be without adult supervision until late November. I expect I could finish the next one before MsBubba makes it back to Tucson :-).
