Yesterday the old adage of measure twice cut once didn't kind of work.
I measured it 3 times and still stuffed it up.
Had the piece in the taper jig ... all looked good. Nice taper for the leg of a coffee table and having about 40mm of square at the top.
Fired up the table saw and off we go ..... the slice didn't fall off but the saw blade went into the jig stop. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....
This was the first cut and I only had enough timber for the four legs. Cursing and swearing I walked out of the workshop. WIP went out too....
Calmed down enough, so just continued to rip the tapers as far as I could then just snap the piece off. Get out trusty No 6 and finish the job on the taper.
The taper was now from the bottom to the top. Put the mortices in and then called it quits. Sat down with a few beers and pondered how I could do the tenons.
Spent most of today cutting tenons with a taper on the sholder. A glue up the waited for an eternity for the glue to go off.
A few coats of UBeaut White Shellac (still lots more to go) and this is what the client will now get. Hope she likes it.....
