Hi all
Well after a long bout of illness with nearly 3 weeks in bed I am up and about, though not still sufficiently fit enough to tackle woodworking yet.
At the moment my piece is in pieces - broken pieces. The curved channels to hold the chips have warped again!! I think because of the thin walls compared to the thick bottoms. And, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I managed to break one of them in half. So, this is what my project looks like at the moment:
.
Please excuse the blurry photography!
There's plenty to do then if I'm to make the deadline (Neil, I hope you're joking about the 9pm finish time :shock: :shock: )
My earlier attempts to make a curved joint for the corners of the box showed me that the learning curve was way too steep for me to attempt it now - at the moment I only have one other (unfinished) project to my name. This has also run into problems as I have been unable to glue up the table top and keep it flat!! Have to improve my edge jointing pronto:
My current intention (plan sounds too definite) is to use a joint like this:
at the front coners of the box and so have a curve to make it eligible for the competition.
Will keep you posted!
Cheers
Stewart
