Sharing the Wealth Part II
The fun continues!
Jenny uses a knife to mark the rails and stiles of her frame to final length...
...and then cuts them with the mitersaw.
She continues by flattening one face of her panel, marking the desired thickness off of this face with a marking gauge, and finally scrubbing down to the line with the Stanley #40.
Meanwhile, James has been working on "unfolding" his book stand.
He starts by sawing in to the hinges from both the top and the bottom. He knows when to stop by watching for sawdust falling from the hinge angles.
At this point, the only thing holding the stand closed are the long wood fibers between the hinge cuts. He releases these with a thin knife and...
...with a little encouragement, it opens! Always a amazing moment!
More to come...
