And now time for a few "Cold ones"
First off, The Boss wanted a blind on the backdoor repaired with a new one.....New one needed those clips down at the bottom, to keep it from flopping around, used self-drilling drywall screws into the steel skin of the door...and had the driver tip drill into a finger...messy.
Next, since i was on a roll, tried to resaw on the bandsaw....

But had to tear it down first. Lower guides needed adjusted, allowing the tracking to go back to the middle of the wheel. Cutting 4/4 x 4 stock for the Rocker...
Moved that 30 pounds of Mitrebox off the bench and out of the way...whew
Spent a bit of time rehabbing a $3 spokeshave I picked over the Birthday Weekend

Front leg/post test fitted to the rocker..

Made the notch in the post a might too wide. Will do better on the next one..
rear post joint.jpg
That's better. Tools for this mess?

Backsaw to make the cuts on the ends..

Just the usual suspects... Wanted to fit up one side, to get some seat measurements. The rear post needed to be at an angle to the rocker, but square to the other post. Need the length for the rail that holds the seat rails.

Getting there. Having a few "hard" Root Beers and taking things a bit slow right now. maybe tomorrow I can get some more done?
Will start this as a new thread for the rocker build, so...stay tuned. I have a completion date of about August of this year.....might make it...
