leap


yes folks it's that time of year...


the temps are back to forgiving and there's some sawing and planing to do!


secret new favorite tools


found I could rip one eight foot slab in ten minutes...


flatten...


true...


scribble on it a bit...


then chop the tenon cheeks, no problem


ripping the waste, on the other hand, gonna have to get creative


please don't let OSHA know about this


the idea to do this arrived after a catastrophic bout with a Japanese saw and the complete mental breakdown and near abandonment of the whole damn thing


not bad though, huh?


La de da, life goes on, chop the waste...


marvel in your "craftsmanship"


suck it up because you know nobody including those in hell will ever ever ever see this joint again after you destroy the photos of it


really put that new hammer to good use


check to make sure you went far enough

and then, conversely, worry that you've gone too far


yay, all that work and there's nothing to show for it!


'cept it doesn't budge even dry


yup, time to move on


course


medium


fine


grooves in lower rail to accept panel




next up: panel joinery
