Today I was given some dedicated time by Mrs Elbeno to start the project. It being 2pm on a Saturday, I didn’t fancy my chances at getting a Home Depot truck hire (my local HD has 2 trucks and it’s first come, first served). Anyway, I headed down there and picked up:
- 2x 8′ 2x4s
- 2’x4′ 3/4″ MDF panel
- 2 3′ lengths of 3/4″ pipe (for clamps)
- 2 sawhorses
- A t-square
- A respirator (apparently MDF is hazardous to one’s health if inhaled)
Having loaded up the car, I headed home to make a start. I decided to make a sawboard as a mini-project which would be useful to familiarise myself with the power tools.
The inevitable flickr set has started.
