Beginning of the Demonstration |
Here's a picture of using the block plane to cut a chamfer on the end of a board. With its low angle and small size it's ideal for that.
You move the board, I'll hold the plane!! |
Before we started the meeting, Neil showed off his cast and shared his accident with us on the router table. It's a reminder of how careful we need to be working at this craft and that in spite of all the safety precautions, accidents can still occur. Hope your fingers heal and you're as good as new Neil, look forward to seeing you cast free next month!
Speaking of next month, Jamie brought up an excellent idea of us all bringing a project for a Show & Tell session and also having snacks and libations in the spirit of Christmas. Seems as if most of us welcomed that so we'll have to make plans and finalize them before the meeting which will be on the 15th. of December.
Several of you asked for plans for the bench I brought and also the article from Fine Woodworking that went into tuning up a plane. I can't figure out how to attach them to this blog but will send a separate email to everyone that I have in my address book with them as a PDF, you should be able to open them. If you're not on my list and want them just send me an email.
Last of all, Jamie did a great Cecil B. DeMille impersonation and took a number of videos of us in action!! Here they are, enjoy Okay, slight technical glitch! I've been watching the icon churn around for the past 10 minutes and nothing is happening. Jamie sent them to me as a zip drive and they really are cool. I'll send them to you in the same email I use for the PDF files.
