I finally finished moving the shop around, fiddling with the Fillister
planes, and every other excuse I could find to delay starting on the
kitchen trash cans.
I'm sizing the panels this morning, once all
four are sized they will be joined with a simple butt joint, hot hide
glue and nails.
I know broken record but every time I use Steve's Try plane I break into a huge grin when wood first meets wood.
The
new shop arrangement is really nice, it is good to have both benches
placed where they can be worked at the same time by just turning around.
Shop is getting hot. I'm sweating and already smell like a goat, time to take a break.

Oh yes, woodies are a different experience, lighter, more feedback etc
ReplyDeleteI love them :-)
Bob, finally catches up with his blog readings
Bob,
DeleteCatching up, it can be hard to find the time.
I'm not a total woodie freak but for the longer planes there is nothing better. For Jacks I like a woodie when I'm doing lots of removal, the Stanley #5 for some of the precision work like squaring an edge, mostly because I have several with cambers ranging from straight to slightly less than a scrub. For smoothing I go back and forth but I guess I use a LN #3 or a Stanley #4 more than the others. While I have a full range of LN planes in the till, the #3 is about the only one that is used often.
Sorry for being chatty Cathy, hope all is well and wedding planes are progressing.

Oh yah, everything is going good. We have the yard ready for Hurricane Teddy, generator, fueled up and tested. Ready Aye Ready. Meanwhile our wedding plans have changed a lot since we started due to Covid 19, but come hell or high water, we a re getting married Oct 14th :-)
ReplyDeleteBob, the eternal optimist
Bob,
DeleteAll it takes is the two of you and someone to say "omni, omni, VOR" and it is a done deal.
Even though not invited, wish we could be there.:-) BTW, I'm leaving on the 17th to pick MsBubba up and drive her back to Tucson. It should be interesting for both Sweat Maggie Dog and me as neither of us has had adult supervision for months and if there is one thing MsBubba is good at it is adult supervision. I do miss the old Gal.
