What did you do in your shop today?

In final stretches for what is likely to be my most ambitious banksia pod peppermill. Sorry, no pics yet. I suspect final height about 15-16 inches, and used much harder wood for top and bottom. I’ll dig out a pic of one I did in past year or so.

Can't wait to see another one of your Banksia creations!

Started a little project for my church. I was asked to build a slat wall in 3 sections. So I started it today.
I pulled a bunch of maple off the wood rack.

I had a bunch of 4' shorts that are live edge. I marked them with a straight edge to rip the live edge off one side on the band saw. This is all stuff that I chainsaw milled years ago.

This project is a good way to use up these warped and cupped shortss. I only need boards 2.5" wide.

Live edge ripped off and jointed on 2 sides. Tomorrow ill run them all through the planer. Shooting for 3/4" but they can be a little thinner if need be.

Felt good to be in the shop again. I was going to start on my workbench again but then I got asked to do this. After I get this done the plan is to get back on the workbench.

Today's work in the shop started with emptying the full dust collector of jointer chips.
Then it was set up the planer and thickness the slat boards.
I set up an out feed roller to caatch the boards. After a couple of passes singular the boards where uniform enough to run 2 at a time.

All dimensionedd now.

They cleaned up just under 3/4" good enough for a slat wall. If i had stopped at 3/4" a few boards would not have cleaned up.

I sset a sstop block up at the miter saw so i didnt have to measure every board. Set it to 20"

All cut to length.

3 sides are square now so the last step is to rip them to even width. I used a glue line rip blade.

They cleaned up nice.

69 slat boards, I think I need 63

It's taken me 2 days to get to this point, it was a lot of milling, but I find that part of the process fun. Filled the dust collector again. That's 2 30 gallon cans, lol.

Love the assembly line you have going! So fun to even watch!
