Re: 2nd Post - Sharing JOs

it would have been so much better if you added fancy woodcarving designs with the aid of cnc to make the table look so good

Please stop trying hard to sell the idea of CNC usage. Maybe you can, if you have already finished building yours. Shooting down a good project because of something you wish to achieve and soon to make money out of is not the culture here at PinoyHandyMan.

Also please do not make further excuses. If you want to stay here, learn to observe and adopt. I know you from another forum, and we will not allow such behavior in here. I am not strict, it is my duty to keep this forum clean. You have been warned.

Re: 2nd Post - Sharing JOs

I am just suggesting a good idea, probably you are offended because you are into handtools so dont get me wrong, I am just suggesting an idea and not selling my product, I also use handtolls a lot, what is your brand?

Re: 2nd Post - Sharing JOs

Here is a tip i read somewhere but forget where exactly, to remove dents made by clamps, put a moist towel over the dent then place a hot soldering iron on top of the cloth. The steam would make the wood fibers expand. I tried it before and it works for shallow dents, but for deep dents it only lessens it. Try it out, it might work for you.

How about using steam iron?

May i contribute on the guide to minimize or avoid clamp marks? I use those furniture pad stick ons for table legs, chairs and other footing pad that 3M or any generic brand sells in ACE Hardware or True Value. Their cheaper, faster and economical to replace. Just try to get the ones w/ the toughest rubber padding and w/ the strongest adhesive tape for your clamps.

Re: 2nd Post - Sharing JOs

nice, another way could be to avoid clamps altogether, I often use tape to hold pieces together, another would be nails (hehehehe) at least it leaves no clamp marks....

i am thinking of making a parallel housing for the cs..in that way...both sides are taken cared of ensuring straight cuts..can you picture this?

Hey, Doc. I can imagine how twin fences can make for a much more rigid cs guide. But my limited imagination cannot...imagine...how to construct that. Care to explain a bit? I use a small aluminum C-channel glued onto plywood as my CS rail and looking for a better one (without having to buy a Festool).

A simple desk for my sister.

1.0 Sketched up...
2.0 Cutting into pieces using mod CS into simple rail T square. Good help I think. Before, I only use handsaw and JS .he he he.
3.0 Jig sawing part of leg support using my very first PT since '93.
4.0 Cut parts ready for edge preps.
Not been able to take pictures for the edge preps, sanding and edge routing. Nalibang kasi ako sa routing practice ko. he he he. Humn, ayos naman siguro. No complaint from SWMBO.

5.0 Later part of the assy process.
Waiting for glue to cure.
6.0 Top part edge contour.
Setup red toy's bit and height. Lying upside down.
6.1 Done edge trimming.
6.2 Changed bit. Done simple edge contour. Friendly for the wrist.
6.3 After some more sanding, applied wood stain.

stain curing tonight...some more to follow...

nice work, group mate konting ipon p magkakaroon din ako cs ng katulad ng sau hehehe galing talaga ng group natin hehehehe, sarap talaga magcut pag nakagamit ng powertools, easying easy:D

Re: 2nd Post - Sharing JOs

Wow. Many many thanks for all your inputs for improvements. Great help to a newbie like me. Soon, another simple project for my daughter...

@bbbharvard_cnc
Appreciated your idea. It so happened that my client (sister) have simple specs. Hence, no addn process cost. All she wanted is to have some elbow room.

@V
I might have thought of similar concept. I showed Joey81 and some PHM peers my sketch last auction EB. Considered their valuable inputs, as well as observations during the demo cut on the floor. I returned back to my initial idea added with rail idea from Joey81 and benchmark from works of Timber.
