For those that dont' follow the Perrkins Builder Brothers on social media, one of them had a shop accident. Very uneasy listening to this. But it's a cautionary tale, so take heed and be careful in your shop around your power tools when wearing ear protection.

Lockdown project complete, a step chair thing for the workshop. Had to dig out every piece of scrap wood to make this work. Will probably just use whatever leftover sealer/finish I’ve left, most likely danish oil for easiness.

Excellent! I helped my father make one like that, except it converted to a dining chair.

Very intense and good wake up call with many of us fiddling with power tools. Watching lots of YouTube etc I saw the one blogger's accident (The Nobby Wodworker or some such?) with a chainsaw blade on a grinder (scary) and was very impressed with SawStop idea - amazing.

 

Be safe in there.

The aptly named stumpy nubs was the dude with the chainsaw wheel on an angle grinder.

But how is that impressive wall of tools behind him!!

Saw a post on the GMBN facebook page of a guy in the UK who didn't want to risk going to cycle only to fall, injure himself and have to go to the hospital.

 

So decided to do some woodwork and managed to cut off his left hands thumb and index finger!!!!

So havnt been doing much woodwork yet, but here is a bit.

Built a raiser for my screen

 

I also made router attachment so we can turn it into a router table using sheet of Alu. 

 

3d Printed a center line tool and sanding block for tiny corners.

I have taken some leave last week and worked a bit on a new workbench that I am building.   It will be a split top Roubo.

 

I have laminated, sized and squared all the legs and stretchers and completed all the mortices.  I have started on the tenons as well.  The first one came out pretty well (last time I did a mortice and tenon joit was >20 years ago at school - and then we had a slot morticer and tenoning machine).  Now to finish the other tenons and then I can hopefully assemble the base.

 

 

Hand planing the legs - nothing as satisfying as a sharp plane going  grrrrrttttsss through the wood!

 

 

 

Cabinet scraper to finish the surface after the plane - look at those fine shavings!  Nice!

 

 

 

Mortices were done with an up-cut spiral bit to 60 mm deep, then by hand to c 90 mm deep.

 

 

 

 

Tenons are being rough sized on the table saw, then the router table and fine tuned by hand.

I have also made a tray to hang my planes on the wall.

Nicely done Amberdrake!

 

Maybe consider installing a No Volt Release switch for safety reasons.  See if you can install it such that you can switch it off with your leg / knee should it be necessary.

PS:  How will you do the height adjustment?  Check if your router have a lug then you can use a threaded rod to make height adjustment from above the table.

Good job. I'm not fond on tenon/mortises.

What wood is that, looks like meranti or some eucalyptus?

 

Also, how are you doing the leg vise? Pin board or criss cross mechanism?
