The joint was impossible to mark accurately, or I could not do it, once it was cut. I wanted a dovetailed half lap but the gap on the lapped part is gigantic. I tell myself it doesn't matter since it's not a structural joint and my mother is not using again that rail any time soon, so it's mostly for the looks. <br /><br />There was an exposition in the national museum of beaux arts, and the guys there showed some mortice and tenon. They even want to have a book about that. Totally lame. I guess then yeah, I'm the only one around... but that's too easy here. <br /><br />And if I'm hiring myself I'm a really permissive boss, almost noon and still in bed :P tome to get my ass off to work something. <br />Sebastian Gonzalezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217512990715648095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516147879960334586.post-57887516880550690422015-09-08T07:31:54.903-07:002015-09-08T07:31:54.903-07:00of course I remember, beautiful blade that one.

Are there any other carpenters within 300 miles that can make curved handrail or layout for spiral staircase? Its easy to be the best if you're the only one, haha.<br /><br />You're not jobless if you hire yourself.

It was also this Sunday, something telling me to take that one in hand and see if the epoxy ever did do its thing and it looked like maybe it had. Some trimming down, some careful filing, and after conditioning the sole of that plane, as they say, it begins to produce some very decent shavings and is surely a pleasure to put to wood, this time some fine douglas fir giving it a glass like finish. Humm, these Japanese planes, maybe there is something to it after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
