Chet Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 The one I was thinking of was a guy named Tom Cancelleri Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Yep, I’ve talked to him a few times since and I think he has pretty much gone to softer woods that smoke easier. Super nice guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmize Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 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 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmize Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 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.

The location of that hole was in my plans, you might take another look.. From memory, it seemed a little out of place in the plans but, it was there. With the plans, you can do all the work and install at the end if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmize Posted June 6, 2020 Author Share Posted June 6, 2020 Mine is just is just 3 page dimensions an scale drawing of the bench. Not really install instructions. Is that what you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Ok.. When I get home, I'll go looking for my plans.. Mine were quite a bit longer.. Maybe @Chet still has his plans and could look that up for you????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 If you go to Benchcrafted's website At the top they have a button for instructions. They should have the information you are looking for. It's all in pdf files so you can down load the pdf and print it out.

Kev Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmize Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmize Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
