Kashley and Megan are both ready to cut dovetails on their plinths. The lumber is completely dimensioned and all of it looks good. There are no pictures this week because it was all about thicknessing the boards and laying out the tails. There will be a ton of pictures next week since they will be cutting tails, laying out pins and assembling the plinths. The project is all smooth sailing from here. No new techniques to learn just applying the skills they have developed to larger pieces. Oh, and a ton of dovetails.
Megan is going with me to the class that starts tomorrow in Grand Rapids. She will help students learn to saw by hand and select/markout lumber.
On Saturday I'll be at Hickory & Oak. Stop by between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm if you want to save some money on lumber. Steve will show you how the sawmill runs and I will answer woodworking questions, teach sharpening and do some hand tool joinery.
