Woodworking
I don't recall seeing anything on here about the hobby. Do you do it? Have any interest? Tools? Have you made anything? Do you want to learn?
With the recent developments on the Planet, it got me thinking, what can I do to contribute and support the new effort? I had no problem with any of the old guard and want to support the effort to make Chiefs Planet great again with the regime. They aren't teaching vocational training in high school anymore, but maybe we can provide a venue here to learn woodworking? There is a handyman mega thread, but this deserves it's own thread if we are going to accomplish something. When I went to Junior high school we had woodworking class and I have always loved it. Finally, upon retirement, I have been able to set up a nice woodwork shop. I can go from station to station and perform the particular task, planing, jointer, sander, router table, radial arm, table and band saw. I am currently on my fifth cedar chest this winter. Each one has gotten much easier as I have learned. We have a cedar mill about ten miles away so it has been very instrumental in the effort as raw material is the main ingredient. It is dirt cheap at the mill and I have been buying 1.1 inch thick by 52 long by 4.25 wide boards and gluing them together. What are you working on? |

Nice idea for a thread. I wish I was better at wood working, I'm more like a wood butcher.

I built these for my daughters Christmas presents. The first one took forever, but each one gets easier and faster. |

I'm pretty good at burning right through things, though. The problem is that an idiot is teaching an idiot and we're kinda guessing as we go. Idiot one was taught by a pretty good welder but he still pretty much sucks and is trying to teach me. So mostly we just **** up a bunch of tube steel and try again. But yeah, it was fun realizing that we could add metal back if we shorted things. Again, we sucked at that as well, but we had some gaps of around a quarter inch that we could fill in and still create a bond that was sturdy enough to hit with a car. Pretty cool shit to fiddle with but I'm not sure I have the patience to get good at it.

Thanks Tim, it is actually very similar. Here is how it actually goes. These boards are glued together after going through the planer, then the jointer, ends cut on the radial arm saw then dowels drilled with a jig to line up correctly.
