What did you accomplish today?

OK

Woke up several hours later than I needed to to empty a dehumidifier Which let my flower tent get to 65%rh emptied it. Apologized to an old guy who asked reasonable questions but got the Riu welcome(really gotta stop being mean on the internet for no reason, I’m barely half this mean in real life and a lot more discerning about who I’m mean to)

I've been procrastinating but I got off my ass and cleaned my grow rooms floors !

Brilliant!!! Way cheaper than vacuuming too(gonna tear up all my carpet eventually landlord be damned, this fucking oreck xl uses 1500w)

 

[shnkrmn]

Made a batch of gummies, made some pizza dough. Made bread dough to bake tomorrow afternoon. If I wasn't golfing tomorrow morning I'd make bagels too. Whatalife.

Went grocery shopping and put them away. Beer shelf is filled also. I'm done.

Back in the shop today working on face frames and cabinet doors, really nailed these mitres. With a sharp hand plane and the help of a jig the cuts can be shaved to fit perfectly. My client wants the drawers to match, which isnt really going to work. You never tell them that of course. You just say, "sure, no problem". Even though it's a problem. I will have to come up with something, just not sure what.

Those mitres are really nice. Is that some sort of home made shooting board? Nice work.

Beautiful work, you're a true artist. Wish I could do that . My wood working sucks !
There's something about wood that I love , it's intangible. It's a vibe of sorts. By the way, love your plane......the wooden handles/design , reminds me of some my grandfather gave me....very old.

Looking good bro. Have you thought about just ordering the doors? Fast Doors makes good ones.
That’s what my buddies shop did and what i’d say 95% of cabinet makers do nowadays. Saves allot of time.
Just have the client look through the door company’s catalog and choose.
I had a local company do the island. He gave me a tour of the facility. Cnc machines, everything was crazy new tech. Orders doors.

Thank you. Yes, I made the shooting board a few weeks back for the first set of doors.

Thanks. That is a world war two era #5 Stanley plane. It belonged to my friend's grand father. War era planes are easily identified because there are no brass parts or rose wood handles. They used a domestic hard wood instead. I would love to see pics of you grandfather's planes if you ever get the chance.

I dont mind making them, and it is good practice, which I need right now. I haven't turned anything on a lathe in over year. I'm a little worried what that will be like....catch, grab, twist, yank, toss, bang, ouch!

Cool man. You’ve inspired me to make a board. If the weather lets up I’m going out to the shop and get it done today…..but it’s not looking good for right now.

Here’s a pic of my cock. And also the frame I made last week. I harvested the tree , milled the lumber and processed it in my shop. After curing it for several years the moisture content was around 15% . I had the joints nice and tight but after assembly and being brought into the house with the a/c the damn thing opened up.
I used a glue spline for lock on corner.

This is coming from a guy who hates wood. Actually framing with wood but still. I betcha bisquits woulda helped with that. I bought this stupid thing, had one before, just for the mantel. I should return it now lol.

Bisquited the actual boards of the mitered joint together plus some extra somethin somethin to make that fucker stout

 

[Aeroknow]

I guess it’s finally polyurethane time. Gonna wait a couple days to grout. I’m burnt out playing with the mud and don’t feel like making love to every square inch right now. But i’ll probably start cleaning up the joints today
Will be nice to pin this fucker up there so i can finally get the kick ass stove up in there

You have storage in the island also?

 

[raratt]

Took apart the sink valves that have been dripping, I could have sworn I put Teflon tape on the threads, however I didn't. I gave them a good wrap and turned the water back on. Fingers crossed.

 

[Aeroknow]

Why yes i do. A little.

Got the brush soaking in mineral spirits pounding some beer getting pumped up lol. Only doing the bottom. 1 coat today sand and do the other tomorrow. Gonna do the top and front in place. Easy day today. Actually i’m gonna do the fronts too. Just changed my mind looking at the thing

I have a biscuit jointer and didn’t even think about it. But I actually wanted to do the espoused spline joint. However I think having a biscuit more centered on joint would have probably preformed better.

I like to repurpose stuff so I used an old bicycle chain that was one of my kids that I removed some links from to make retainers for the back side of the frame. Looks cool and has sentimental value.
