door and saw

made some progress on the liquor cabinet door today. had to do some work to my scroll saw first. it needed a throat plate and jaws for the chucks. it cuts really nicely.

    

scroll saw from the high school i went to.

 my bandsaw fell on it's face the other day. it broke the table trunnion in three pieces. i needed to fix this  fast and cheap, so i drilled and taped holes through the parts and applied a generous amount of jb weld to the area. i then inserted a machine screw to bring everything together. it's still holding after a few months.

i've also been getting a bit of work done on the liquor cabinet. it seems like i've been jointing triangles of zebrano together for about a month, but i'm almost there. very much looking forward to mating the zebrano and maple together and veneering the parts.

i've been using my block plane to shoot the glue joints...
i've been having problems with the stability of my
wooden jointer plane.
