The crisscross is installed and working as advertised. Next is installing the screw and nut. It is mostly fiddly work making sure everything lines up and nothing drags.
Once the nut and flange are screwed down and the action is free I'll take the vise and backer board apart and finish shaping each.
The next step is installing the slab followed by marking the positions of the upper and lower backer board mortises on the slab and long stretcher. The whole bench will have to come apart one more time to chop the mortises then back together with vise and backer board installed.
After installing the vise all that is left to do is making a tool tray. The fat lady is warming up backstage.

Glad the crisis is over. That bench should be done shortly. Any thoughts about the next one? :-)
ReplyDeleteBob, ducking and running
Bob,
DeleteLOL. I got lucky it did not do more damage. Yeah, if it cools just a little and I can dodge MsBubba this sucker will be finished soon. I have to say, there could be another bench in the pipeline soon, there are a couple or three things I think could be done better, not in the design but how I do 'em, that I want to try.

Next bench can go against the wall with cabinets sitting on it

I can hear her humming.
ReplyDeleteI think she can hit the high notes this time. Of course with work and the heat the short rows may be longer than expected.
