Nice one Matt.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Very, very nice.

That Brad, is stunning. Forget the tablecloth, you will not find one good enough. :clap:

We all do Matt, but no-one more than me. :)

He'll probably have a job finding "PURE AUSTRALIAN BEES WAX" on the East coast of the USA. :D

Thanks Alex, that makes perfect sense as the lid has been separated from the base as you say.

Thanks Tc. I've never seen those dowel markers but they are similar to what I was thinking of making. The video was also helpful because I hadn't considered the necessity to offset for 180° opening.

Whoa another late starter! Welcome aboard Anthony.

I haven't made a box for 50 years and I've never used these hinges. Has anyone that has use these hinges, got a tip for aligning the holes accurately.

Wow Pete, you are late! Welcome to the party.

:?:wtf3: :confuzzled:

I think the schedule will be a bit tight this time Phil and we'll have the mother-in-law in tow also. Thanks anyway.

Go Phil. I'll be in the berra this weekend and I really want a mill. Better lock the shed! :cool:

I Agree and the photos are just as good.

:whs: It doesn't look like a quality piece of furniture but I wouldn't even use plastibond on that. Skew has nailed it.

Good stuff Brad. I hope you get time to dress it up.

Yeah, me too. :D



Yeah, go rustic! :D

Another cunning bit of thinking.

Great progress Brad, its looking really good. Very nifty alignment method. 'STOLEN'

A very well executed recovery there MacGyver.

Or maybe you could model it like the grippy part of an animal, eg.

Thanks Matt, but I had no part in it. I haven't even set foot in Brissy for about 3 years.
Nice work C, lookin good.

A very impressive shaving from a very impressing plane. Well done.

MIA for about an hour here this morning ~9:50 - 11:00

Lookin' good C.

I see it, but I don't believe it. :)

Welcome to the party/circus Shane. I do like your raw materials and I'm looking forward to them coming together.

Oh, you're taking it to the next level now Matt. I can't help you, (or won't :D), but I'm sure Neil will be along soon to spoil the fun.
There's something regal looking about that K-nob, I think...

Nothing but class there Vern. Very nice indeed.

Lookin good chief. I hate to disappoint you but that rivet will never work like that. :U I'm not familiar with a birdcage awl but a mushroom shape sounds good to me.

It's about time that someone actually showed some progress. :p I can't wait to see some curves take form.
What's everyone else doing? I'm missing the updates. :U

Yep, heaps of time Bob, but don't rush it. Good luck.

Can't help with the SG but I have turned it. It's quiet plane, with very tight grain and turns nicely.

Thanks Ian.
Next? I'm really impressed with the dovetail technique and would like to have a crack at that but I don't know what to incorporate it into. I really don't need another plane because,...

Rite-o the k-nob's done. Hoolie doolie there was some work in that little bugger.

I agree with your calc's but that doesn't hold much weight. :U

Lookin good Brad. Great contrasting colours happening.

Thanks CK.
I was thinking just a simple thru bolt with a head slimmer than the brass sides (3mm) and maybe just a screwdriver slot. https://metalworkforums.com/images/smilies/actions/shrug.gif Or...

Thanks Ian. It looks like I'm not done after all, now that the master thinks the front knob is a positive. :no:
Oh well, at least I have a go-er because it's taken it's first shavings.

485379...

Not only looks great CK but it works! Nice pics too, thanks.

Ahh, I may well have subconsciously copied this because I think it was their cap screw that I modelled mine on.

Well now I'll have to go and search for the Veritas one and see if my thoughts are along the same lines.

That's pretty much it MA :). I actually have, until now, an undisclosed trick up my trouser leg. I thought that if, in use the plane is difficult to hold, I could have a removeable knob that could be...

Hey, that's cheating! I'm only saying that 'cause I haven't got a way of doing that to try mine.
I'm sure the body will be more comfy to hold when there's no G clamp around her neck, push on.

Yeah, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now - could even take a shaving this evening Sheets. The blade is finished Matt and just needs sharpening. There will still need to be be some time...

Bigger hurdle cleared tonight Matt. The drilling and riveting is complete. It all went surprisingly smoothly in fact.

I got one side cleaned up too.

I'm pleased with how it's...

She's looking great Matt and I love the new bench too. The Monash might become the new trend in benches.

Not now Brad It's a family show. :D

Isn't there some work in this gold stuff! I finally got both sides ready to go. I was thinking about how to hold everything in place while I drilled the rivet holes and realised it was likely that it...

Coming together nicely.
