Start of the season with a 40°C plus day, what a way to kick off the summer huh? Wowzers. That’s going to smart. Plus we have a big birthday coming up this weekend. Not as involved as my Wife’s get together, but worrisome enough. Juice boxes, gummy snacks, chips to feed an army of ankle biters. A swim in the pool, some pizza and maybe cup cakes, and we’ll call it a day! Hope for good weather, but not insanely hot or viciously high UV rays.
I’m going to consume my breakfast, then go work on my newest furniture build. A hollow body Walnut side table, with tapered legs. Let’s see how we make out, shall we.
** Update: The tapering jig build was a success, I now have four matching legs with the same taper! Woohoo! Repeatable outcomes are glorious. I was however unable to run my table saw over 45° to make the outside edges touch, like a YouTuber taught me too. So I’ll have to take extra care on my glue ups to make up for any slips, shifts or off cuts from my mitered corners. I am going to add splines to my Walnut side table, so could that potentially add enough visual intrigue to hide any bad miters? I don’t know, but I’m sure I’ll find out soon enough. Lots of cutting left to do before sanding or test fitting my structural elements. Had a real good go with the electric hand planer, manual hand planes and glue s raper today. Even got my card scraper in on the action. Left a suitable finish on the hard as nails Walnut. Onwards we march.
All the best on this hot & sweaty Tuesday the 21st in June of 2022. Ciao Bella!
