Planing thin strips








jet-drum-sanderFor sure, one of the best software for surfacing thin inventory and planing thin strips is a drum sander. However given the truth that even the smallest and most elementary models value over $seven hundred, it’s not a software everybody can justify having of their outlets. Fortunately, there’s a terrific various: the planer. However don’t run out to the store and begin planing veneer simply but. Most planers aren’t very glad operating inventory that’s lower than 1/four″ in thickness. As soon as the wood will get that thin, it turns into very mild and versatile and there’s a very good probability it’ll be sucked up into the planer blades which can shortly flip your fancy planer right into a wood chipper.

All it takes is a store-made sled consisting of a bit of three/four″ plywood (or any sheetgood), and a pair thin items of strong inventory that act as a stop. Utilizing CA Glue, I connect the small strips to at least one finish creating an L-formed stop. The grain ought to run entrance to again for greatest outcomes. As soon as the stops are hooked up, think about coating the floor of the sled with end to seal the floor. The tough-sawn strip can then be dropped onto the sled with one finish nested within the L-formed stop. The opposite finish will get a small dab of CA Glue as a way to forestall lifting on the entrance. After planing, use a putty knife to pop the strip off the sled. When you sealed the floor, the glue shouldn’t do a lot injury.

However I did cheat a bit of since my shellac sealer was nonetheless only a bit cheesy. That gave the strip full help throughout the complete size which undoubtedly skewed my outcomes. For sensible functions, I wouldn’t go an excessive amount of thinner than 1/eight″ with this system however you’ll have to check for your self to seek out the decrease restrict.

Make a riving brake for better leverage when splitting lumber

Sophisticated. The tripod riving brake shown here is the sophisticated version of a contraption to help hold logs and billets as they’re split with a froe. Get some splitting leverage with this simple contraption. by Peter Follansbee R each for a froe, and you should immediately think, “Give me a brake.” The brake can be a constructed workholding device, or just a couple of logs. Its function is to trap your workpiece in such a way that you can exert leverage on a section of a log as it’s splitting. The froe – used to split a piece when it’s in a brake – is a tool that requires some nuance to really get the most from it; the brake helps make that happen. There are many kinds and configurations of brakes. The first one I learned is just a forked section of a tree, propped up with crossed timbers underneath. Forked. Here, a student is using a forked-tree brake as he rives oak with a froe. Jam your billet into the fork with its other e...

Welsh Stick Chair Shoot: A Diffferent Video Approach

I can finally put a tick next to something that’s long been on my “to do” list: Learn how to build a Welsh stick chair. With all that’s going on with my house right now (I just started tear-out on one of the bathrooms and still haven’t finished the stairs), I knew it would be years before I would get around to a chair build on my own time. So, I invited Kentucky bodger Don Weber to come teach me and a few friends on camera, which meant I could do it on company time. But as with all plans, the gods laughed. After Don said yes, and my friends – Christopher Schwarz, John Hoffman, Narayan Nayar and Justin Lieb – picked the week that would work for their schedules, I got called into two days of unavoidable meetings during said week. Ah well. So while I did in fact get hands-on, step-by-step instruction in building a Welsh stick chair, I have not (yet) actually finished building one. My seat is saddled, the legs are fit and I’ve dril...

There are many ways to cut this popular edge-to-edge joint. by Bill Hylton from the April 2005 issue When setting up the table saw to cut the joint, just eyeball the rip-fence position for the groove. Sight down across the end of the stock and align a centerline drawn on it with the center of the cutter. A two-pass work routine centers the groove and eliminates the need for test cuts. When making the joint (right), a snug press fit is your goal. This is a first try – honest! A tongue-and-groove joint is an edge joint with a mechanical interlock. The edge of one board has a groove. A matching tongue is formed on the edge of the mating board. The tongue goes into the groove, and the boards are joined. You probably are most familiar with the joint’s many applications in building construction, such as strip flooring and paneling. In furnituremaking, the tongue and groove is excellent for edge-to-edge glue-ups. If cut precisely, the joint ensures that the faces of adj...
