I'm not going to give away what I am working on at the moment, it is a prototype, but I already know that it will do it's job, I just need to get on and get it done.
The basic structure is two strips of 2 x 2 cut from 2 x 4, but I need two sets of these.
As you can see, I then cut a 5/8" channel along each, 3/4" deep using my table saw and Dado blade,
today, I have rounds over one edge on each strip using my router, this was done, because there is a likelihood of bodily contact with these strips, and I don't want any injuries. I then sanded each strip with 80 grit using the Palm sander, after which I hand sanded them to 320 grit.
Now I have got to drill some countersunk fixing holes, and make some plugs to fill the holes so the screw can't be seen, then they can be stained/vanished. Once they are in place, I can then take the measurements for part two of the project.
This isn't a hard project, but it is time consuming, I hope to have these in place before Christmas, but when it will be totally finished I am not sure, as I am still limited as to how long I can work in a stretch.
The only clue I will give is that they are for in the bedroom, and it's nothing kinky!!!! :D
The first three years of my Blog follow my journey settling in to life following my move to Colombia in 2012. After yet another a break from Blogging, I am back, but with a change of emphasis, due to health problems, I have been spending less and less time in the workshop, so decided I either had to close the Blog, or revert to it's original use...a diary! So thats what I am doing, it feels good to be back.
