Ah yes, my favorite part... #sanding. 😆But it isn’t bad as I thought especially when you make with your own design. It tells me I’m more than half way through the project. It has taken its final shape. Now to refine the details. #weekendwoodworke

I was supposed to finish the #splines tomorrow but I couldn’t wait. Haha! Routed. My original design had hard edges but I figure it won’t be good for the bedroom side table. #maple #splines on #walnut #wood

It was another #jig day at the workshop. I need to strengthen the miter joints of my project with splines. Woodworking #weekendwoodworker #wood #square

New tiny dinky “whole room” heater works. Not fast but enough to keep me from freezing. lol Better than the $5 wally I’ve been previously using.

16 hour shift... is it over yet?!
Island Capture (aka Silverph or psilver):
More useful than I thought. Spent my workshop moment today installing a 3/16” #bandsaw blade to finish @icee_t request the next few days. Walnut side tables will take a bit longer than planned. #weekendwoodworker
Island Capture (aka Silverph or psilver):
I decided to make use of the smaller slightly used #bandsaw instead of selling it. It’ll be good for projects that needs small tight curves. I don’t think it is worth the hassle of replacing the bandsaw blade frequently unless I need the capacity of the 1

Lessons learned. I analyzed my steps the last few days why the glueup went horribly wrong, and I found the cause of the misalignment. I made the center shelf a few fraction of an inch too wide. When I did a test fit, I just remembered that the center shel
Island Capture (aka Silverph or psilver):
Making sure the joints stay clean. Is this necessary? Or just wiping off with a damp cloth is sufficient? What would you do? #walnut #wood
Island Capture (aka Silverph or psilver):
No more duct tape. 😆
Island Capture (aka Silverph or psilver):
Having a bad day. It looks like the shelves will be smaller. lol! My personality is, even if someone tells me it won’t work, I’ll still try it. I’m a visual person. I need to see it instead of people telling me. Now the challenge is using my noggin’ to fi

Closeup of the middle shelf. Initial plan was to put a drawer on the top and leave the bottom open. It might change depending on what crap we need to put away. lol #weekendwoodworker #walnut #dado
Island Capture (aka Silverph or psilver):
Dado for the middle shelf. Maybe next time I’ll use the router and make a dado that doesn’t go through the edge. Cleaner look but a bit more time to make. Supposedly glue-up day but I decided to do the final sanding on the inner surfaces before assembly.
Island Capture (aka Silverph or psilver):
Safety overkill? I’d rather destroy the #Grr-ripper than my fingers or my face from a jumping piece of wood. It felt awkward using them when I first got them a year ago but now feels very natural. Cutting dado for the middle shelf. #weekendwoodworker
Island Capture (aka Silverph or psilver):
Whoa it seems the planets have aligned for me today. The pieces stands up by themselves. lol! I’ve reached the peak of the project. There is still one critical angle I need to make but not as important as the 45 degree joints. The Ridgid table saw is beha
Island Capture (aka Silverph or psilver):
Here comes the tricky part of my project. I’ve made miter joints before but not on this scale. I mess this up it’ll set me back for weeks. I’m out of walnut and I have to start almost from the beginning. #woodworkingnewbie #woodworking #weekendwoodworker

The #crosscutsled in action. Because the fence is just a simple piece of flat wood, it makes it easy to clamp a stop block to it. The hole on the lower left is one of the screw for the rails from Kreg. If the jig is trashed, I can remove the rails and reu

State of the art saw guard installed on the table saw cross cut sled. 😆
Island Capture (aka Silverph or psilver):
Here is the finished cross cut sled. I’m testing it for accuracy by doing the five-cut test. It was dead accurate! Whether it’ll stay accurate after a few months will be for another day. I made this to be quick and I was able to cut the pieces for my curr

My new sled wasn’t built for snow.. or show. But it works great! I didn’t care how it looked but how it performed. It did its purpose. #woodworking #weekendwoodworker #newbiewoodworker

We interrupt this program because I just realized I need a bigger table saw.. or a bigger cross cut sled... whatever fits the budget. I guess I’ll make another jig. #woodworking #weekendwoodworker
