Here are the two boards for the long aprons, in the upper left there's a 7/16ths Nurse mortising chisel I brought for show and tell, and a print for a batch of hinges I've been asked to make.
Alan instructing on the finer points of setup blocks, here one sled setting and various blocks allow repeatable cuts for the two-knuckle leaf support and three-knuckle fixed apron.
Freeing the waste in preparation for pairing.
Pairing to the scored baselines in the new Moxon Vise, these will be sold through Tools for Working Wood I hear. They use the same hardware as the TFWW bench on bench, are make of laminated maple, and are very nice to use. The movable jaw is cambered which grips work amazingly, I think suede would be an even better addition to these. Keeo you're eyes out for these, they are awesome. If I've goofed and spoken too soon, my apologies Joel.
A closeup of the baseline pairing. Mahogany works very sweetly.
More of the same here.
Teaching my girlfriend how we pair to baselines at PFW, the same technique is used for dovetails as well.
Once again doing things the harder way, instead of mitering the corners for hinge clearance, I'm rounding them. This is done to the front side of the fixed (three knuckle) portion.
First a chamfer is chiseled in at 45 degrees just outside the circle line. Then about 4 more chamfers are made on the resulting arii, this is most of the waste. Following that a little file work and sanding results in something like this.
Thanks Mario, for taking pictures again, interestingly enough he's got a bunch of experience shooting work as well as tools, it clearly shows.
