Hi Rick! Guess what, I made a rag-in-a-can today. Silly me, I was looking for a slightly larger can and a suitable rag, while a nice can was always on my bench, holding pencils, compass, knifes and other stuff. Now, that stuff is in a glass, which is even nicer, because I have quite a few very short pencils.
The large surface of the second slab is finished now. I also roughly squared one side, maybe close to good enough. I checked, how the finished bench-top will look like – both halves and the well board in the middle. This will become a nice bench and it seems, that the size of the legs is just right. I’ll take a photo, when the well board and joining faces are finished.
I suppose, I have to do the aprons now and then start making the leg frames. The aprons will be as hard as the bench-tops, as I already found out. I hope, laminating the legs will be easier. They are pine, pre-planed and have fewer knots. However, they aren’t straight, so they need squaring etc. The rails should be easy, I finished four with ease, and I have enough stock to discard the bad one. The rest might go into a terrific nightmare: I want to build a wooden RC sailing boat model with real planks, bulkheads etc. The attached pictures show a model, that I want to copy. It has real planks, you can even see the small nails, but the surface can’t be saved, too much epoxy and filler. I got that boat on a flea market a while ago originally only wanted to refresh the paint…
