  4. What tools did you buy today?

    in Power Tools

    Posted

    Few good stuff today.

    My "blemished" veritas router plane. Found a very small casting defect in the cast iron. I'll take the defect for the discount. My low angle smoother will be here later this week.

    Amana 80th table saw blade. Never used Amana before from tools today com. Seems nice. Doesnt say where it is made though.

    Lee valley portable light. Bought this to use at the band saw and drill press. Runs on 3 AA batteries. Super bright.

    Also got a Makita 28th ripping blade for my track saw. No pics though. e2dc23d13e5066d7be065595d3964864.jpg37f88de1c9fc106b48c217df871e6089.jpgad85724a7a781bde15f3541d561d76e9.jpgc9bd8f61e241fcba1ce60b3f3f3dfefd.jpg307e848569b227fcf5cc417fb42335bc.jpgaa3bae178d8f22e913e56af1094bd512.jpg

    Nothing wrong with the 734. I have one and it works great. If you help support the material on the in feed and out feed you won't get any snipe. I have seen no indication that it will be discuntinued.

    wow those were amazing finds. Was it just your store?
    They might be discounted elsewhere. These were at my local store. They have been in the rafters by the air compressor tools for I don't know how long. Since they were so far away from the lawn and garden it is probably why it got to 01. Status.

    Makeshift spray booth. I used the rails of the garage doors for the spray booth. It worked out really well using spring clamps.

    I initially tried to spray general finishes Enduro var but then I realized the can says to not use on sanding sealer. [emoji17]. Luckily this was my first time spraying with the Fuji semi pro 2 hvlp and I only started on the bottom side of one drawer. After deciding it wouldn't work, I switched to arm r seal. This worked much better. I applied a coat to one drawer, the chest of drawers, and the nightstand. If I was thinking I could have done another drawer. Oh well. I definitely preferred the Enduro var to the arm r seal for spraying...mist wise. The Enduro var was just cleaner. The arm r seal sprayed great but just messier overall. I do have some runs that will hopefully sand out but we shall see. 5fdaf7848169e216d81f64efea1a8f49.jpg429cb13354ddbc3f56068a9168aa3303.jpg

    Had to fix some tear out on the top right front joint of the chest of drawers. I chiseled it smooth then glued a patch on. After the glue dried I planed and sanded it smooth. While not a perfect repair job it is definitely better than missing wood.

    Today I also put sanding sealer on the night stand and chest of drawers. All that's left is to sand it and apply the coats of finish. I am going to spray them with general finishes Enduro var. It's a water based poly that is supposed to give the appearance of an oil based poly. f435d877edbdb04ba3119ff293ebb3b5.jpgc42e5785cdffbc0d4e08e40c33fbb1f4.jpg16a1ee7d4d40c9b289ee2ba250c6f1e9.jpg5968f714b0eb32f0874326b1a5f3901c.jpgb64e77a2d749e4678411feb439b1f950.jpgf9bcb5d76bdfa79c9e6fb5efa4b5410a.jpg

    Everything is sanded and the drawers got sanding sealer put on. I am attempting to fox some tear out on the front top of the chest of drawers. I used a chisel to get it pretty flat. I then glued a piece of scrap wood onto it. That is where it currently is at. I will then chisel it and plane it smooth. ca6a60afba1c93d4a9ab657693db05f6.jpg732412bc0b6fc76d31540ad9e639ac13.jpg

    Drilled dog holes into my workbench. I used the layout based off of Shannon Rogers recommendation. I put a slight round over on the holes.

    I also made a hole in one of the legs for the veritas quick clamp. I made the hole deeper than needed and then using a hole saw I made a plug. I drilled a hole for a magnet and pressure fit it into the plug. I then super glued the plug in. This allows for very easy removal and placing it back. http://www.renaissancewoodworker.com/guide-to-workbench-dog-hole-placement/.fe306f48d50de3b35a4c1d3af9cc9c22.jpg42ceaac90843c5ee6e1673fc362fe934.jpg457fab0ac5e9d6b6ce648d6d481fa763.jpgd5119b78f7ec166593ff041d3e51d05a.jpg8a8db59128aebcb01c5214260137df45.jpg

  19. Miter station build

    While not directly part of the miter station it is right above it. I added some grizzly tools lumber racks to the garage today. One above the miter station. The second one replaced my previous lumber rack.996c9d708f7052f0ca244b24cd34c426.jpg298363008a8d5fd27c4d9e9ab15396a3.jpg

    Chest of drawers and night stand update.

    I planed the case smooth at the joints and then planed the drawer fronts to the case front. I also installed the drawer runners prior to planning the drawer front down. I sanded to 120 so far to give myself a good surface to measure for the drawer pulls. I drilled for those today and installed the pulls for now. Up next is more sanding to 180 or 220. I also need to fix a small chip out on the front rail that occurred when planing. baea4d904b08a258f4706a8ffc9cef6e.jpga3166bdbbb43c3e2aad5a52085229b09.jpga436dd3920e080e4b0090298abdb4d95.jpg

    Drill drawer update.

     

    My drill bit/12v drill storage is atrocious and I need to get it organized. I made a "simple" holder for the drills/impacts/batteries/and attachments for the flexiclick. Turned out alright. They still fit tight. I originally had them facing downward but it was too tall for the drawer that way. If I was going to do it this way I would have used the next size up in forstner bit. Oh well. I'll hit it with sand paper and a rasp.

     

    Next was the forstner bits. Half of my bits we're in a case and the rest were still on the blister packs. Those of course do not store well. Using another piece of scrap plywood I cut it to width and then made a grid. I then laid out the pieces with approximate equal spacing. Much faster than mathing it all out.

     

    Last was the bit storage for the self centering bits, countersink bits, and plug cutters. I had a good spot on the right side of the drawer for this. I elevated the holder for easier access and replacement of the bits. I made another grid and drilled an 8mm hole (just bigger than the 1/4" shank) and drilled out my spacing. I drilled more than needed so I can add more pieces and move things around if needed. There was a lot of tear out even with the Brad point bits I was using.

     

    Overall I am MUCH happier with how this turned out. I had been scratching my head for the longest time about a solution to the drawer. I got everything back in except for the milescraft drill guide.
