Before just dropping my tools like I usually do, I had to ask myself, "What would Alex do?"

| Trying out the newly sharpened rabbet plane. |
 |
| Oh, this is way easier than doing it with only a saw and a chisel! |
 |
| Saw and chisel for a dado is easy, though. |

| What Would Alex Do? |
I was hoping to get just a little farther today. Nail this together and maybe before that to put some finish on these parts.
I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow. The Frau hates it when I pound nails on Sundays. Maybe I'll have to send her to the beach or something.
Just so I know where I left off and don't jump ahead tomorrow, the next steps are to cut some stopped dadoes in the shelves for the center support/drawer divider. Before I install that, I have to laminate a strip of black wattle to the front of it so everything is pretty. ONLY THEN am I permitted to finish these parts and then nail them together.
Great Scott! You are moving forward at an incredible pace.
ReplyDeleteIt is looking great so far.
Thanks. I'm a bit worried that I'll start tomorrow behind schedule.
DeleteThank you for the updates I really wanted to try this build off but my schedule this weekend does not allow it. During some of my free time I have been checking yours and Jonas' progress.
ReplyDeleteHi Nathan! thanks for the comment. I think Jonas is a bit ahead of me. I've been too busy to make a post today. I'll rectify that right now.
DeleteCheers!
Not to worry Brian, you will be done for June :-)
ReplyDeleteBob, running and ducking tomatoes ( no snow balls in his neck of the woods) :-)
Haha!
DeleteThat reminds me, I still need to start last June's chair...
