So the only ply will be the backs?
-
As soon as the monsoons leave our area, I will give it a try.
-
I was wondering if it didn’t just re-distribute the dust? I’ve never tried it.
-
Jamie, some day we will compare disasters and you will walk away a happy man😀
-
On a piece where the clamps get in the way like this one, I like to clamp it, then remove the clamps to check the diagonal and if it square, hopefully it remains square after putting the clamps back on. Yeah if the center stiles are floating, then they have to be dealt with using a good square.
-
On a project like this, do you bother to measure the diagonals to insure it’s square?
-
So the top of the mattress is still about the same height of the top of the FB?
-
+1 I’m sure liking the contrasting woods. Is the FB not as high as originally designed?
-
Might be a good time to justify a track saw. I’m waiting for the opportunity!
-
What are you breaking the ply down with?
-
Jamie, given your description of the loading, you didn’t get to pick the boards? We’re you happy with what they gave you? Darn good prices.
-
After you mow the grass?
-
It’s not that I don’t care for it, it’s just that most of the furniture and items in my house are walnut, cherry or maple. With the exception of one small bedroom that has the old qtr sawn white oak bed that I slept in as a kid and I made an side table to match.

A bunch of fine fellers from Houston. You got pics of before you trimmed it?
-
Very nice with good tight joints! You headed back to the POW camp in Louisiana that you were at earlier this year?
-
Take Coop out of the equation and I feel for the rest of your friends😀 Beans and rice and rice and beans here! 😀
-
You are certainly spreading yourself thin. Looking forward to the pics and thanks for all you do.
-
I just caught on due to Kev mentioning the new door. I was about to ask if there was more than one Chet as a Mod!
-
No sir. Just measured the gas meter to make sure it cleared, left to right and front to back. It is so close to the patio that the center portion can also be used as a table to hold a pitcher of tea and glasses if needed. Not the intent but afterthought.
-
Yep! Unless he has rich friends!
-
Is the pic a dry fit and if so, will you be pre-finishing the panels?
-
Well it’s finally finished. The center portion fits over and hides the gas meter. Slats are western red cedar and the frame is cypress. Finished with Penofin and all joints were connected with Dominos and epoxy was used at Kev’s suggestion. Tops frames are half lap. Just out of curiosity, I counted the pieces and there 112 and 224 Dominos. Damn sure a record for me!
-
Where the heck you been bro? I’m like @Bmac, and will take any of the afore mentioned woods that he doesn’t need! Glad to hear from ya!
-
An 1/8” round over is not much more than a couple of passes with a sanding block. I don’t like a sharp edge where exposed to contact.
-
I think the same every time I run a piece thru the jointer and planer. And the collection from the dust collector doesn’t look good as mulch.
