Nyaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhh….
Seriously, who timed this christmas lark? It’s supposed to be January 6 for feck’s sakes…
Getting better at these. Only three of the four joints look like a blind boy scout attacked them with a dull beaver…
But they go together…
And the carcass is square. Grand. Only sixty more steps to go. Hide glue, btw. Set aside to cure for most of the day. then planed the face side so it was all in plane and with no twist. Then went to nail on the face frames and discovered I’d resawn them down to use as back boards. For feck’s sakes…
And no, it won’t work when the face frames are thinner than the door because then the hinges won’t work (and there’s not enough thickness to even attach them anyways)
I did find another poplar stick I can use, so it’s recoverable but I’m not loving when this happens.
Some of the bandsaw boxes are coming along nicely. But I definitely need more room…
And got a coat of oil on the walnut boxes – the poplar ones get different coats and I got a test stick done to see which I want to use.
This box is definitely going for the most-awkward-glue-up award…
And still a bunch of things to do. Oh, and I just realised at the end there that I didn’t have the small hinges I thought I did so I have to do a run to Woodies tomorrow. Nyaaaarrrggghhhh…..
