4th September 2017
Today is Memorial Day, which is when summer winds down and all the Halloween crap starts to appear.
Today also marked the start of my project work.
Kelli had found a matching pair of tables that had tiled tops. Those were consigned to the rubbish, so my job was to make wooden tops. The units would then be painted.
I hunted through my stock of suitable timber, and found a suitable amount.
I set up the thicknesses/planer but I didn’t like the idea of all the shavings going all over the place, so I had an idea for an improvised shaving collector using an old cardboard box from my chop saw. Just as well I didn’t take those to Ron’s skip.
It worked perfectly, so dazzled by my brilliance, soon I was feeding in rough wood one end with smooth finished planks at the other, with a box full of shavings in the middle.
This is a useful piece of kit, for the type of work I am doing, so it will get plenty of use.
I just have to think of where I can get rid of the shavings.
