What did you do in your workshop today ?

[MattRoberts]

I'll let you know! It's oak, so it's pretty sturdy. Not so fussed about the aesthetics though, as long as it remains flat

 

[MarkDennehy]

Hm. Well that came out a bit more shrine-y than I was thinking it would!

 

[MattRoberts]

And on the 8th day, the Lord planeth...

Don't forget to kneel before entering.

"shrine-y" what a great word you have invented! Gave my my first out load laugh today.

shriney - verb - to look church-like, resembling a shrine without a cross or other godly icon

Every belt-wielding Christian Brother would twitch if they heard you say that, and start going on about how He Was A Carpenter You Know...

Meanwhile...

Resawing by hand doesn't just suck, I suck at it. From my 8x1 board, I got four usable 3/8ths slats, one marginal that I'll use if I have no other choice, and three flat-out rejects where they dip below 1/4" in thickness.

Anyone have any decent method for straightening out a bend in a saw plate on a panel saw? (Bend as opposed to kink, that is). Bending it smartly in the opposite direction does not seem to be getting it done...

Isaiah 44:17

And the rest of it he makes into a god. To blocks of wood he bows down, worships, prays, and says, "Save me, since you are my god."

I finally managed to have a play on my lathe today. (I don't get to use it very often lately).

Also managed to damage my mitre saw. clamping a piece that was too small caused a kick back resulting in the clamp hole breaking

Any suggestions on how to fix it? or should I just give up now and resign myself to a Darwin award. Maybe I should take up crotchet instead

Thanks in advance

Drill tap and bolt it on with a butterfly nut to make it easier to take off when required.

Milled a length of Yew to make some nice picture framing material. Tomorrow's work, make the frame.

Nailed the lever cap. Loving a whole weekend off. I'm time rich.

That looks brilliant

Mark, If you are maki ng more plane holders, you might want to consider smething like this, you only have to lift the plane half an inch to take it out - the top recess being bigger than that at the bottom. I find it very convenient.

[MarkDennehy]

Cheers Jim, that looks far less work and wouldn't claim so much room above the holder, but how secure is it if you accidentally give the wall a wallop or jar the plane?

 

[Phil Pascoe]

The plane can't come out unless it's lifted and pulled outwards.

That's right, it really is very secure.

Not technically in my workshop, but...

Re-fitted the grates in a sentinel steam loco, fitted (modified) cab windows to the same, and got finished in time to join the owner and another chap who were just making a start on water testing the boiler and various associated piping runs.

It has a number of leaks, exclusively in hard to reach places, with luck another 8 hours of loosen-PTFE Tape-tighten-test cues next weekend should see it ready to steam up for a test.
