    My New Toy

    Trimming the rabbets on the edge boards.

    Glue Up


    More pics of the glue up. One joint didn't set properly I think due to cold weather. I now have a heater running in the shed. lol.

    Glue ups are the most stressful time of any job. The lid on my glue pot came off twice spilling about 70ml of glue onto my project... arggh... fixed the project. Will wait til it sets to peal it off the concrete floor.

    Hey Dan lookin sweet and a very cute apprentice. You said/typed LN 62 1/2 but the LN is a 62 and the LV is a 62 1/2 which do you have? If you have the LN 62 I would like to catch up one day and compare the LV 62 1/2 that I have. I can see I am going to have to lift my game and photographs on my WIPs.
    Oh and I have the same problem with my 59, I have been going to pick up some 10mm id tube, if I do I will save you a bit.

    Re: Dowel Jig stan. 59.
    The other thought I had was to epoxy some dowel into a larger one and drill it out. The jig would except any pipe though. So 3cm of 10mm pipe would be a treat. In the past I've used 1/2" dowel with the jig which worked fine.

    Re: LN 60 1/2
    I checked the website. I have the LN 60 1/2 N. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it and have used it on rabbets and tenons with success. It's ~4mm A2 blade is nice. I haven't engaged the nickers yet. Haven't had the need. Using it I can see the advantage to have a specific rabbet plane to do depth and width control.

    Re: WIP photos
    My goal is to eventually end up publishing some reviews/WIP in some of the wood mags. I emailed AWR but haven't heard back. I suggested I could write a review of on-line woodworkig in Aust, review some of my new tools, or a WIP. Just a bit of fun. I know there's a lot of more talented and skilled craftsmen out there, but I find if I have a goal like publication or a exhibition to work towards I take more care, and produce a better product. With all that in mind I've dragged out the tripod and tried to take some nice photos. The article in fine woodworking was helpful.

    Re: Grain.
    I was surprised by that jointing photo. It's impressive to see the fiddleback in cross section. Keep a eye on the blog - ~ the love of wood ~. Tomorrow I plan to upload some photos of the glued up top with some metho splashed on. I don't know if it's a fualt or a feature but there is this white patch of wood in the middle of the top... oh well.

    Hi Dan
    Sounds like fun doing reviews. yes 60 1/2N, sounds more like it, I have one also. I was going to get the low angle block as well but I already have a Millers Falls 56 with the LN replacement blade fitted which is a real sweetie anyway so maybe later. Its the 62 I was wanting to try. I bought the LV62 1/2 LAJ but it has some balance issues (all be they slight) and was wondering what the LN was like. Not to worry, I'll work it out.
    Patchy grain can be a problem and like you have found here it doesn't always show its ugly head untill too late. I did a table for some people and had it all done, when I put finish on it, it had light patches in the grain that looked like finger prints. I sanded the whole thing back, sanded and scraped the crap out of it but when I put the finish back on it was still there. I delivered the table and they seemed happy with it (they were not too obvious) but a few days later they rang and said are these spots finger prints? I don't want unhappy customers so I went out to there house sanded the spots back and stained them with a diluted stain that I had mixed and tested in the workshop and then repaired the finish. A mission but they were very happy with the outcome and that I had gone to all that trouble. I since picked up a job frm there neighbour.
    So Dan if you do some carefull experiments you can most likely stain it out. Weak mixes of stain lightly as she goes.

    Generally I prefer not to use stain. Preferring to keep to the it came from the tree approach. I do see the benefit in small correction stain. I'll wait to see how it looks once flattened and sanded etc.

    Yes, I agree, the only stain I use is for filling holes (to mix with epoxy) which if I have a choice the holes also stay too. The only other use is for repairing antiques and matching.
    Non of my new furniture is ever stained. But you don't want to spoil a nice piece of furniture for the sake of a spot. Good luck, suck it and see.
