Last night I got "the itch". Just had to saw something and put it togather. With the shop progressing (very slowly) I have been wondering how and where I am going to store my collection of woodworking magazines? An article in one of rhe magazines inspired me. I haven't decided exactly what look I'm after. Will keep you posted.

Shop doors...Some progress





Some fragmented time spent Saturday and Sunday working on the sliding doors for my under construction shop. More later as progress is made. Mortise and Tenon joints are being used, my first experiance with this joint, It has been fun and a definate learning experience. As shown in the first picture,I used an old cheapie dedicated mortiser i bought from a buddy who upgraded. It worked fine I might add. The tenons were cut on the band saw after scoring the cheek cuts on the table saw.

Experiment

This is my first attempt at posting video. The content is not good I know, but I do not know yet how to edit the video. This is sort of like cutting a dovetail joint for the first time. Bear with me while I play.
