Archive for the ‘Progress’ CategoryAdjustable Mouth Krenov-style Plane FinishedTuesday, March 14th, 2017This was my third time making a Krenov-style plane, but my first time incorporating an adjustable mouth into one. These are always a lot of fun to make and also very enjoyable to use. They admittedly take a little practice to learn how to use them properly, but once you get the gist you’ll find yourself reaching for them instead of your steel planes. I plan on having the build video ready for this Friday and I hope you’ll give it a look.
Sewing Box ProgressMonday, October 24th, 2016Over the weekend, I made a respectable amount of progress on my wife’s sewing box. I made the lid panel from a leftover piece of curly maple which was re-sawn and glued together in a book-match. I pre-finished the panel before gluing together the lid frame; this will make finishing easier later. I still need to finish the thread spool supports which will be inserted into their respective grooves inside the lid. I will also be making a tray to go inside the box which will be removable. So far I’m pretty pleased with my progress. Almost there.
Sewing BoxSaturday, October 8th, 2016I started designing a sewing box for my wife. The idea, so far, is for the spools to slide onto dowels and for the ‘spool assembly’ to slide forward from the lid to remove/replace the spools. The trick will be to prevent the ‘spool assembly’ from sliding out as the lid is raised; this might require a locking mechanism of some type. I’m going to use cherry for this project and box joints will hold the box together.
