Project of the Day : Engraved Oak 3 Stick Travel Case
- Thread starter shilala
- Start date
The first three desktops will be done real soon.
If it weren't for this camping trip weekend, I'd be damn near done.
I have the bottom of one finished and most of the parts done for the rest.
I can't till they're done, either. I'm amazed at how long it takes. No wonder why a handmade humi costs a fortune.
Hey buddy, I took all those pics with your camera.
It takes NICE pics. I got that 2GB SD card from ebay for 10 bucks, and the batterties seem like they're gonna last forever.
I could not be a bit more pleased. Feels good when you get a good deal. :ss
Thanks again!!!

He was a Jewish preacher and self-denialist who prophesied flames for the wicked.
Big on baptism, short on patience with bullshit. :r

Nice work Scott, I am always afraid to work on anything that small for fear I will lose a finger.
Did you get your dado blade problem straightened out?
I found a 6" stacked dado by Freud on Amazon for a pretty fair price.
http://www.amazon.com/Freud-SD206-6...f=pd_bbs_4?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1220648099&sr=8-4
Bought it on sale for like $50.
I figured I won't be gouging anything deeper than an inch or two, so the 6" dado was OK.
Plus my weak-ass at the time table saw was able to spin this one.
Even now I don't regret not buying the larger model (unlike my humidor . . .).
They do give a very flat bottom cut, where the "adjustables" or "wobblies" leave a rounded bottom in the dado.
Keep showing your work, I might just get a couple of ideas I can steal.
Seriously, it is nice to see that craftsmanship is still alive.

What he said about the dado is true- stacked is better. You can also run a dado with your router. Flat bottoms are really easy that way...
Nice work by the way. I like the engraving. I've always wanted to learn how to do inlays and engraving with the router.
I have the 8" stacked Freud. I finally found time to read up on it and I'm pretty certain my setup was borked.
I didn't set the chippers at 90 degree intervals and the first chipper is supposed to be set in the gullet of the outside blade. I have no idea what a gullet is.
I'm going to give it another go this evening and see if I can cut a flat bottom. I'm going to need it to make mortice and tenons later.
I also want to use it to make the insets to do ebony inlays in the humis I'm building right now. It's pretty critical because it would be so much safer and faster and more accurate than using the router table.
I think I'll mess with that stuff tonight and see if I can get things ironed out. :tu
Thanks guys!!!
