Getting back to that bad ruler.

Getting back to that bad ruler.

Joe in a Cleveland suburb

I couldn't find a ruler that met my requirements. So, I located a Left Handed Panel Stretcher (I'm left handed) on Ebay. The seller also had in stock a left handed smoke shifter, a left handed sky hook, and a left handed snipe net. So I order those too. Wish there was ebay way back when I was in Boy Scouts (and became an Eagle Scout) and the other scouts sent me out to get those things. Couldn't find them back then.

The panel stretcher worked out well. I was able stretch the panels just enough to fit.

question

Bill Tindall, E.Tn.

There are some things in the picture that are not obvious how they were involved in making the panels. Explanation?

Them snipes are good eatin'! They can make nice pets too.. Although they tend to be a bit shy.

The only explanation needed is that Joe didn't have the Taunton crew to make the shop spotless and stage the photographs. :D

You can't catch snipes in a net; you need a 5 gal. bucket.

Well.

The 3 doors are on my cabinet saw.

To the left of the cabinet saw is a walnut board sitting on a piece of masonite on the basement floor. Not used in making the doors.

Behind the walnut board is a red tool chest from my auto racing days in the eary 80's. Not used in making the doors.

Behind the saw is a kinda outfeed table that has a white formica like top. Not used in making the doors.

On the outfeed table is a couple inserts for my hillbilly router table from early 2000's. Not used in making the doors - the holes are too small for the bits.

Also on the outfeed table is my saws fence and a sled I used for coping the rails. This was used in making the doors.

Draped over that is my dust collector hose that was attached to the back of my hillbilly router tables fence. This was used in making the doors.

To the right of my saw is a white cabinet that my slow speed grinder sits on and various boards along that wall. Not used in making the doors.

Attached to the right side of my saw is my MDF hillbilly router table from the early 2000's. It's complete garbage. It got a lot of use when I built my kitchen cabinets in the early 2000's. This was used in making the doors.

Sitting on top of my hillbilly router table is a hillbilly fence. Under it is a router. That router has a coping bit in it. There is also a tape measure. Both used in making the doors.

In front of the saw, on the fence rail thingy, is a knob I use to adjust the router up and down - a real PITA. I lost the original Hitichi knob years ago. You almost have to lay on the floor to adjust. The knob always falls off. This was used in making the doors.

I hope nobody is offended by my use of the term hillbilly. I use it purely in jest.
