    That's a good topic. Unfortunately I too cannot make tomorrow or the following week, but I will look forward to hearing how the discussions go.

    What a fun prattle.

    Pagie again got to show off a chainsaw..... with a mortising jig on it
    I got to show of some more plastic stuff with dovetail joints

    and i think the general agreement ended up that the best joinery was the one most appropriate for item being built, fine dovetails for an elegant jewelry box vs kreg screws for shop draws

    Thanks to Lance for setting the meeting up.

    oh that shop draw i showed off is 650mm deep, 740mm wide and 90mm high... think i'll make the rest just a bit narrower

    Cheers
    Phil

    Chainsaw joinery is about as delicate as I get. I am missing having some logs to play with. It was fun to be part of this talk. BBQ now.
    I am learning, slowley.

    Yes, it was quite a bit of fun.
    We even have a half-decent discussion of joinery techniques.
    Naturally, the polarising topic of pocket hole screws came up.
    I mentioned I use pocket hole screws for attaching tabletops/bar stools tops to the rails. Thought I'll share a bit more on how I do it to take care of the issues of wood movement across grains.

    1. For small tops, less than 600, all I do is two pocket holes along the grain. the top can move all it likes.

    2. For larger tops, I tie a couple of battens to the rails with pocket hole screws, one round hole through each batten in the middle and a couple of slots in either side. Use my pocket hole screws to fasten the table. The table will move freely as well.

    I was fast asleep, stuck in bed and couldn't get up.



    Good to hear it was a successful meeting albeit it without the anchor man. Can't make next week either so I will be counting on some feedback: A debriefing session?

    I was making a picture frame for SWMBO. We've collected many prints etc in our travels and always said " Yes, I will frame it", but always had an excuse. In 2005 I built a bench with the excuse is that it will help me make picture frames. Then I bought/acquired machine after machine and in 2011 more than doubled the size of the shed more or less with the same excuse. A few weeks back I bought a SCMS with the same excuse and got the "look", "Really - you're still using that excuse?", I said, "honest - it will cut nice clean mitres"

    Anyway, I thought I better make at least one frame. This one is for a print we bought in Japan in 1994. The new saw made it easy even though the final design doesn't even use mitres, so I added some angled cuts just to show I really used the saw.

    That is some excuse that has transcended to even the Friday Lunch Prattle! I must take some lessons from you.

    Hi All,

    Tomorrow's topic will be all about bending wood. Whether steaming, laminating or just using your Popeye muscles and a box full of screws.

    If you've not done any bending, you'll be in good company, so join to learn from those that have.

    I look forward to catching up with you all again tomorrow after my absence last week. Paul, we will see you next week .
