* Saturday the 7th of Feb (2/7/26) | * Saturday the 7th of Feb (2/7/26) - The agenda would be to try to continue to mill down our 2x6s and do a batch of them. I would like to try to skip jointing the first face and just try to thickness plane the boards. i think this may save us a bit of time if it gives us reasonable results. | ||

* 1/10/26 - Aimed to test our process for dimensioning the raw lumber into square usable boards. After minimal experimentation it was clear that using a pretty standard approach of facing a board on the jointer, then thickness planing on the planer is going to work for us. after that, using the faced surface as a reference, we could joint another side of the board to a square corner. finally we ripped the board to the correct width using this edge against the fence. we ended up with a 1.25"x 4.5" x 96" board that was very (if not perfectly) square. definitely looked good enough for a glue up. | * 1/10/26 - Aimed to test our process for dimensioning the raw lumber into square usable boards.

*<del> Saturday the 31st (1/31/26) - The agenda would be to try to take the process we proved out last workday (1/10/26) to mill down the larger 2x6s and do a batch of them. i would aim for 6 boards and then maybe to a test glue up (with out glue) to see if the clamps we have will work with the boards we produce if we have time.</del> Cancelled due to weather. If you can make it to the shop we will still try to get something done with whoever we have available. - Turned out to be a pretty productive day. We were able to turn out 3 boards in less time than the one board in our previous workday. Thanks to Sal and Lisa! | |||
