Tales from the Ginnel

Doesn’t it pinch your arse when you spread out naked watching porn with just a tube of Pringles & some Tizer to sustain you?

Miriam’s long awaited coffee table on the bench again. Finished the double curve underneath, between twenty and twenty five mill all round centred on a point one third down the length. This will slim the edges, a bit of finesse. The Nakashima tables don’t do this as they are huge and can wear a two and a half inch thick +slab .

Top is flattened and shaped, just the undercarriage to go.

was dat plane then?

Lovely piece of timber.

It’s a nice price of burr elm that I picked up from the ground keeper at a Scottish golf course following a storm

Plane is by Emmerich, a 741, I have a smoother too. It’s got a spring loaded blade tension device and threaded depth adjuster. Cherry body with iron wood sole. Narrow blades, but very good across the grain and removes a lot of timber with the grain. Adjustable throat on the smoother too

Just mocking up the support and rail, deciding the form of secondary support for the long end of the table. Height is currently 17.5", reducing that to 16.5".

Vertical support shaped and flat, Elm. Had the end grain of a bough in this, bit of a pig and had to get the plane blades knife sharp too stand a chance. Just the smoothing to go

Lovely chunk of timber. Worth the effort.

The shavings should be put quickly into jars to be sold for sniffing the fresh wood aroma.

One joint complete, three to go. A basic halving joint for this one, more like sixty/forty.

Vertical support cut to height, should end up around 15" high. Top positioned, proportions look good.

Full length and width mortice and tenon cut for the vertical support. Just the small pillar for the rail to go and then a bit of fine finishing.
