Well I got the first slab glued up this afternoon. My normal projects it has never bothered me much not having a jointer. Now this is way to much work. Guess I know what my next big purchase will be now.

I’ve used it on the last few project an I will never use regular paint again

I’m a big fan of milk paint to. It blends together nearly flawless. It comes in about 20 different colors. Just lightly hand sand between coats with 400 grit.

Yea, the milling portion of this project is brutal! Even in my temperature controlled shop, it's brutal! Good job!
Hopefully, they don't move too much on you!
My shop is temp controlled but I drag the planer outside to run it.

I’ve always been lucky on the rough milling portion. It’s the long ripping off the larger boards that always gets me. You never know when the will bow or twist when cutting down to size ?
-
I had a tough day face jointing an planing all the wood. Between the size an weight of all the pieces an the Alabama heat decided to show up now. I was slap worry out yesterday. Luckily now just need to straight line rip them an I’m off to making the top.

Ok thanks I’ll take a look there
-
Mine is just is just 3 page dimensions an scale drawing of the bench. Not really install instructions. Is that what you mean?
-
I just looked again. It references it twice both have a note to see criss cross instructions for further details. It weird it gives me all the mortise info but not the pin
-
Good news and bad news. I got the Benchcrafted plans today an they are a great set of drawings very detailed. Bad news the criss cross is backordered. I thought I would save some shipping an time ordering it from another vendor. Well got the email today it was backordered 2-3 weeks. The drawings show everything but the location of the 3/8 hole to attach the criss cross to the leg an chop. So hopefully I don’t get to that point before it arrives.

My biggest tool regret is probably my router table. I remember watching videos an seeing them just doing all this great work. I got it in my head that I couldn’t do without it if I wanted to get better. Now it just sits there I might use it twice a year for a quick quarter round something. I have a match door set but it’s such a pita to get set up perfect that I hate dragging it out now. It’s quicker on the ts or my plow plane.
-
A lil progress tonight. I got the boards broke down to rough length. I had a couple with some twist still in them. So I started taking it out before running thru the planer to get to thickness

The old saying goes that you never have enough clamps.. I've been pondering that thought for a while now and I'm not sure I believe in that saying like I used to..
IF I were going to add clamps today, they would probably be some pipe/bar style clamps so that I could make them really long. I might also consider replacing my smaller lighter duty Besseys with the regular K-Bodies just so they match the collection. But, that's really about it!
Most all mine are pipe clamps. I have like 2 bar clamps, 2 parallels, 6- f type. I get by but I could use more

Don’t feel bad about the grays, I’m catching you everyday! With this no hair salons open here till recently the grey on my head really showed up! I don’t believe they come from woodworking as much as living with 3 women causes them. (4 women if you count the dog)
Poor guy. At least my house is equal sides

That ain’t going to happen guys. I got baby girls 3 yr old birthday party this weekend. I’ll do good to get it broke down an possible milled some of it.

Well for me it the hand tool decision was more of the money at the time. Know I’m much more stable now. As you may have noticed more an more machines keep showing up in my shop the last year or two
