A week of 11.21-11.23 (Thanksgiving 24-25)

+
It was a short, Thanksgiving week.
Everything has gone very slowly.
We have finished drilling holes for screws, elongating them by chisels, making pockets for pocket holes by chip carving, and gluing them up all together.
No photos were taken, though.

A week of 11.14-11.18

+
We have finished sides of the stand, except the runners and kickers.


++
Things have been proceeded slowly this week, at least for me.
I have launched a new exercise myself for the upcoming tool chest project.

+++
This is my work place.

A week of 11.07-11.11

+
We went to a lumberyard in NH on Tuesday.
The piles of lumber in the machine room are all ours for the Shaker night stand project.



++
Lance gave a lecture on mirror furniture.


+++
These are parts for my Shaker night stand, rough-milled by machines and finished by hand planes.

++++
I made 6 haunched mortises, 2 mortises for twin tenons, and 8 tapers on inner sides of legs.
We may finish this Shaker night stand project next week.

A week of 10.31-11.04

+
We added a table saw to our machine list.
Dan explained how a board ran through the window by a kick-back.

++
Steve gave a lecture on through dovetail, and I was very impressed.
Not quite relevant photo was taken, though.

+++
Lance gave a lecture on making flutes on a column.
Since I liked Sheraton style furniture, I was very interested in this subject.
He showed how to use a router and a shaper with jigs.





++++
I finished mortise and tenon joints, lapped dovetail, and oil stone box.
I am still struggling in dovetailing...

+++++
We will make a Shaker night stand, next week! ;-)
