Latest Projets

Postby Dalboy » 15 Oct 2014, 18:15

The last couple of days I have been busy in the shed preparing wood and printing patterns for some more bandsawn boxes most patterns I have taken from a book "Building Beautiful Boxes by Lois Keener Ventura" and also My dear old mum in her 90's says can I make a Christmas present for her friend but will leave it up to me. At least one thing I know about her friend is she is quite religious so I thought a cross but with a difference I have used one of Steve goods patterns and if you look in the centre I have drawn a couple of circles one for the clock and the other for a boarder

Will take some more photo's as I go. This is where I am at up until tonight it was a bit like a jigsaw puzzle trying to get the most out of the blocks I managed 7 with only one double as I need the two of them

I am looking forward to seeing progress on these in preparation for the day that I find a suitable bandsaw.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Today not a good day Started alright cut out all the outer waste off ready for the cutting of the backs and drawers well it was not to be (the later part that is)

First picture cutting into a corner save trying to back out of a long cut

Image

When I need to cut off some waste when going around the box I cut round then back up by at least 1/2" then cut out this leaves a small cut to restart on try and do this on a shallow curve or straight bit

Image

All the wast now cut off ready for the backs to be cut off and the cross ready to be scrolled and the clock recess drilled

Image

Well as I said everything was doing all right until I started to due the cuts to remove the backs got 3/4 of the way through the one on the right and the saw blade broke so new blade will be put on order soon

Image

Anyway at least I could get on with the cross sanded all the outer edges, drilled the holes for the scrollsaw blade and then checked my marking out for the clock

Image

Finally I drilled out the for the clock tomorrow should be able to start cutting out on the scrollsaw

Well the bandsaw will not get the blade for at least a week. I still can use the bandsaw as I have larger blades but for the boxes I have got to have the smaller one.
But I have been able to do some more to the cross. Today I took a couple of hours (I,m a bit slow with the scrollsaw) cutting out the holes and the spent a couple (mind you there was at least three cuppa's in that time) more sanding any bits on the inside but most of that was working on the outside taking some of the sharp edges off.
First picture after all the work second is just a pre-view with the clock in place. Will start the stand tomorrow.

Very intriguing idea there. Do you have to sand the cutouts or does the finish off the blade give you a good enough result?

With the right blade you can get a good enough finish. I just had to sand places where I left some marks, still need a lot of practice on the scrollsaw

Well the cross is finished

Made from an old bread board this is for My mum to give to a friend at Christmas. She just said "can you make something for my friend for Christmas I'll leave it up to you" she is in her 90's bless her, luckily I know that her friend is quite religious.

It is a Steve Goods pattern but I have incorporated a clock so had to do some slight changes to the centre where the clock sits.

C & C welcome

I like that.

Certainly something an elderly religious person would go for so I think you've pitched it perfectly.

Well new bandsaw blades arrived today, fitted and set up. In between doing a bangle and some other stuff.

Anyway back on the bandsawn boxes managed to get all the draw units cut out. Next job will be to cut the backs and fronts off of them and also cut out the draw part. Still have all the sanding to do.

Thank you both.

Some are Sapele and the others are Iroko.

Have been busy sanding which seems to take forever. Then it will be back to glueing them back together.
The 2 three draw ones I am thinking of cutting out some Beech for the draw fronts to give a contrast to the frame
