Daily production notes on projects under construction at Smoky Mountain Woodworks. Slip on a pair of safety glasses and come on in!
Wednesday, November 30
Work day begins: 6:45 AM
I’m taking a quick peek at e-mail, then heading out to heat up the workshop. It got down into the 30s last night, so the shop will be chilly this morning – a fire will be warranted.
Shop Opens: 7:00 AM
This morning I’m cutting the tenons onto the ends casework rails I milled yesterday. This will consume the morning.
This afternoon I’m cutting the mortises into which the tenons I cut earlier will fit.
Then I’ll trim this-n-that to make it all fit nicely. This consumed the afternoon.
The case is basically assembled – but not glued together as I still have some things to do before I can make it permanent.
Workshop closes: 6:00 PM
Write up my notes so they’ll be ready to post when I’m done, and see what else needs to be done before I quit for the day.
OK, that’s all that really needs doing.
Work day ends: 6:45 PM
