I've started on (one of) my summer project(s)--a boot bench. This one, as usual, is requiring me to buy all sorts of new tools, but nothing huge. So far it's a router table, another bit for the router, some countersinks, a leather strop, and (upcoming) a dado set for my table saw with another zero-clearance throat plate.
Today I actually did some work, starting to cut up the lumber. Kinda went downhill when I made one cut too many, then cut a couple of other pieces too short, so I'm going to need to go buy some more lumber. Sigh.
On the other hand, the day ended on a good note when I discovered I'd done a pretty good job sharpening my block plane blade. I was able to successfully shoot a piece of plywood, which was just plain awesome.
Bonus points if you understood any of that...
With filthy language like THAT, you'd better hope lots of people get those "points."
A "boot bench," you say?
