Home Improvement Today?

are there any soffits in the eaves for ventilation or is there no actual attic to the garage? maybe that was the case at one point or another

 

Hall table. Worked late last night today's kinda an off day to prep the shop for the next project. So I'd figure some time on something for me is worthwhile.

 

Nice dutchman , you use an inlay bit and a router at all or straight up chisel work ?

 

All chisel work on the back I might use a template to speed it up.

Currently I hate it. I'm debating chopping it back out and putting one under a larger compass rose star thing.

 

What is the wood species of the dutchman ?

 

Hard maple it will darken with finish to close to the walnuts sapwood .

I have the whole tree in my garage. The shop wood stove sees more walnut and oak then I care to think about.

 

I buy from a couple places but this was 6/4 andi paid under 5 a bf. But its the whole tree and not surfaced in anyway so that's part of the price. Another place I buy from has a giant planner so I'll pay them the extra to surface 2 sides. Saves wear on my machines and a good bit of time if I already know my desires thickness. I will also buy random boards with interesting grain/figure. I've got some dark English walnut that's to twisted and warped to bother with that I will take small chunks off.

 

mocked up.

I've seen the table its all CNC work but still cool. My goal is to have some thing in fine woodworking by the end of next year.

 

Got my kerf depth and spacing figured out for the baseboard

 

I see you went with a lot and close together. Table saw or ras?

 

That's pretty slick! Are you just running the piece through a table saw?

 

Sliding compound mitre saw with a depth stop

 

Right side curved baseboard hat out of the form 24 hours later

 

3/16" in between kerfs , about 3/32" remaining on the face

 

Who uses a RAS anymore? Of course if you wanted one you can get them for $100-$150 anymore used. At least around here.

 

Good tool in a shop setting still

 

True but, last cabinet shop I worked in all it was used for was cutting of rough lumber before jointing and planing. Now my SCMS cuts as much as a RAS does. I know when making those wooden puzzles the electronic RAS is handy though.

 

Can't put a dado blade on a mitersaw. The ras doesn't see everyday used but I'd never get rid of it.
