They also don't seem to know what to do with fresh greens - laying pellets ... yum! - fresh greens .... what the? It's the same everywhere - how to get kids to eat their veggies ......!
And - yes - that is where I dump my sawdust and wood shavings. The girls seem to love it.
Meanwhile back in the shed, work proceeds apace on the planes cupboard.
There were a few details to attend to before the carcass was ready to assemble. Since the sides and middle would be resting on the benchtop, they needed some "feet" to give them stability. Normally there would be a base, but I wanted the benchtop to be level all the way to the back, so feet would suffice.
These were made from old 2x1 radiata pine. It needed to be reduced in size to fit the existing dadoes. It was quicker to do this with my jack plane. It has a generous mouth and a radiused blade that takes nice thick shavings. Done in no time.
These were then glued to the sides to create the feet of the cupboard.
Next, the shelves needed attention. Much easier to do this before assembly than afterwards.
Assembly comes next. If everything is prepared well beforehand, then assembly is quick and easy.
Like I said - I love it when a plan comes together.
