Project — "Making a Silver Chest"
Jessica lays out the three new boards she has re-sawn. The re-sawing "jig" seems to work quite well. Nothing fancy here. Mostly it is just a matter of doing whatever it takes to get the guide rail firmly sitting on the board to be sawn. The furniture seems to do the trick. |

She looks over our "plan" to see if we have enough of the resawn boards yet. We do for the sides but will re-saw two more of the thicker timbers to get material for the top. In this case rather than cut in thirds and have 5/8" wood, she will cut in 1/2 for wood that will allow us to shape a curve in the top. |
When we cut the larger timber in half, we must have made an error in measuring that one half. This board is slightly less tall — but no problem. We use some shims to bring it up to height. |

Jessica turns to the task of sanding the boards. She starts with 50 grit to make the boards uniform. After that, she will sand to 220 grit. She is using the new Festool Rotex 150. She likes the comfortable feel of this sander. |
It didn't take long for her to resaw the
last two boards that will make up the top. They are seen here at the
left.
