The board for the back of this desk, needs a bit of work..
This is the “Before”...and..
Just about planed smooth…Then marked an edge…as the board was a bit too wide..
We have ways…
There IS a knot along that edge….was hoping to remove it…ok, set this aside, for now..drag out the Socket Maker..
Had to move that fence a few times, but…
All the 1/2 blind Dovetail sockets are milled…..take a break for a bit…...until I got bored, last night..
Trace around one set of sockets..
Saw and knife wall…
Outside face gets a few chops….then flip over and finish chopping..
Dry fit….then repeat for the other end…
Couple sockets weren’t quite deep enough…better than being too deep…
At which point, it was quitting time…due to cramps starting up….working too hard for a Friday?
Need to get the tails milled for the back of the desk…
Maybe Saturday, eh?
Stay tuned..
