Well, one half of the joint’s done, not overly impressed with my skills but hey-ho. Not much work done today either. First off, I used the block plane to get the “lower slope” flat and even, then pared with the chisel the “upper” slope as there was no way to get in there, unless I used the shoulder plane and therefore couldn’t be a***d. Then I managed to b****r up the rebate at the top by being too enthusiastic with hitting stick and chisel. Additionally, this rebate was narrow and the only chisel I had to match was now ground skew!!; Then I chipped away at the tenony thing on the end, this time using a gentler touch and going a bit slower; Boy, I’ve been taught chiselling by about 5 different people and appear to have forgotten everything they must have told me. This bit came out relatively satisfactory though. So here we are, one half of a scarf; I’ve marked the other half, from this and if the weather improves we’ll see if I can do this in one day. TTFN |
