Wow – lots of chips on this project…...I’m on my 3rd round of dressing out the rough Oak and the chip bag has been emptied 3 times…...I figure that at least 70 gallons of chips on this one so far….
I got this rough oak really cheap (a pickup truck load for ~$100) and it was all 8/4, but have to plane it all down 1-3/8” before all the twists and bows come out. This is one of the prices you pay for low cost lumber….
Good news is I’ve found a good application for this solid wood and I’m freeing up some needed lumber storage space!
Some of this oak looks good – especially the last planer batch:
For superdave – there are PLENTY of cool knots lurking in this project…..plenty…
Some additional progress: Note – None of the fences have been built and the tables are still loose…...
Decided to build lumber storage for 3’-4’ stock to the left of the miter saw:
With infeed table mockup:
Added some slide-outs for tool storage using full extension slides:
Another shot of the tool slides + my garage sale $2 grinder/wire wheel rig mounted on a french cleat – I think it might work in this spot…...
Thinking about building an “L” counter on this corner and pickup up the spindle sander (getting rid of the metal stand) and leaving it open for the shop vac underneath…....The dust collector really doesn’t work good on these small dust ports…
All the pieces are anchored to the wall, and a few are nailed to the floor – so she is really rigid…........
More to come…..
Thanks for looking.
Jeff
