Marc,
just curious as to what you are making?

Andy

Hi Andy,

I'm making an open toolbox mainly for my spruce tools, as there are a saw, some drawknifes, adzes, a froe, an axe and a brace for I have to work in the wood. The dadoes will hold some thin separating boards to take care of the sharp edges of the tools. I made the compartments so they can hold too one or to planes, a #6 and a #5, for when I have to use them outdoors, what happens actually once in a blue moon.

I made the joints with dovetails and miters at the corners. I find it a decent way to make the grooves for the bottom disappear. And as I didn't tried this yet, it is fun to make.

Andy,

Sure, I will, but that can take a little bit.

Marc, go ahead. It's nice to see information on dadoes that won't lead to bloodshed...

Cheers, Alf

Bloodshed? Almost with my first dadoes. I built a plane with nickers on each side of the sole. The problem was the nickers or better the cutters flexed out at each pass and I had to make a two-sided fence. On the pic you see the final achievement and not so bad I think on the right corner of the test series. The fence on the Stanley combination plane brought real highlight to my shop. As it was difficult and time-consuming too to clamp the template exactly where I wanted it. The fence is great. 8) I never returned to my plane.

PS: I tried to insert another image but couldn't succeed by the normal process. Is there a limited number of images in a thread or am I simply too bloody newbie?

Try this Marc:

Check the name of your Picture File, it does not appear to have a 'type' attribute such as (.JPG .jpg .bmp etc) and the forum software does not like it although Explorer will access it.

Should be something like this:

No limits on number of pictures in a thread. compare it with the code for previous picture.

Thanks Chas.,

That's the problem. Some of my older pics on my server space don't have the .jpg extensions. Don't know why, but none of them works.

Regards, Marc

Can you not just rename them on the server?

FTP program such as FileZilla allows this. (FREE)
