Chisel wound looks a tad painful. But, the project looks fantastic!!

I need some of those chainmail gloves when working with my chisels. would have saved me a trip to the docs lmao. thanks.. putting the sides on is very slow going and the next side is gonna be very difficult. the log has a very hard arch to it and would not be able to flatten it at all. just an area for the boards to sit in.

just a bit. didn't hurt when I did it but hurt like hell when I tried to move it back and forth but doesn't hurt to bend it which is a good sign. I am almost positive it hit the bone lol I had just sharpened it and was finishing coping the one end when I decided to stab myself. since it was a freshly sharpened edge it should heal fast tho. bought meself a pair of gloves day late and a dollar short

well...better late than never....at least you will be thinking about how you approach it from now on.

That's kinda what I was thinking, on the knuckle like that it would it's hard not to hit bone, and that is always a tad painful. Plain old leather work gloves would have been better than nothing, but I know where you're coming from. Have 2 - 3 sets, don't ever think about them, until after I cut myself doing something where I should have been wearing them.

got the right side done and have to put this on the back burner for a little bit. have to get some projects started for the woman. This took longer then I had expected to complete but all in all I am happy with how it turned out. def stiffened up the frame but did make the frame a little out of whack which will be an easy fix. just need to trim the one back stretcher and cope the end again. I tongue and grooved the boards together but only glued those together and got to use my stanley 45 which is a joy to use. hopefully since I didn't glue them to the logs it will float and allow it to move but it is pretty tight in those mortises in the logs!??

before sanding and gluing



one coat of boiled linseed oil
