April 14/26
Lawrence, Jimmy, Miles, Francis, Paul, Rick
Paul and Francis reported on the recent visit to Ranald Ross' in Margaree.
He has some wood that he offered for free for members
Lawrence continued to instruct on the glued-panel table top project.
He stressed the importance of sorting the boards to maximize appearance and grain.
Trim off the edges on the table saw to eliminate bad spots
Mark the assembled boards with a triangle so that they can be properly re-assembled
Then joint one edge of each board on the jointer
Cut the opposing edge on the table saw
Once this is done, use a jointing hand plane to go over each edge, being careful to alternate the faces to the plane so that any angle discrepancy in the plane blade is compensated for.
Next step is to do the glue up, which we will cover next week.
Next Lawrence demonstrated how to use a coping saw to cut molding profiles. He used the Stanley miter saw jig to do the forty-fives. This is a sturdy accurate set up.
The visualization of the edge to be cut is critical. If necessary, mark the outside edge with a pencil so that you can properly see the line to be cut.
We then stopped for coffee and cookies, compliments of Karen , and had discussion on the State of the Union (USA politics)
