Tonig...You are absolutely right about my day job.. <br />Tonight I was gluing up the lid, and all of a sudden they called from the bridge , if I could start up a cyclone filter.<br />I decided that they would have to wait 40 seconds and I rushed the assembly. raced to start the filter, hurried up to the control room to call them back and say it was ready. Then hurry back to the workshop and attach some clamps. <br />Luckily it all ended OK.<br />Maybe you are right about a Ryobi. But i would have to get one that would fit in the "tools chest for the sea". <br />Another problem is that I generally suck at sawing tenons. So I suppose that I should practice it some more. <br />Thanks for the nice comment on the looks.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-38597102997855294672013-11-12T12:46:24.798-08:002013-11-12T12:46:24.798-08:00If it wasn't for your day job, you'd proba...If it wasn't for your day job, you'd probably be farther along by now! <br /><br />It looks great!<br /><br />I'd still add a Ryobi to your kit. It might give you a bit more flexibility being able to rip and crosscut.Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-545211592901619472013-11-12T08:25:57.510-08:002013-11-12T08:25:57.510-08:00You are much too kind :-)

It is also OK for making dovetails, but when I have to make a longer cut it often starts to wander about.<br />Actually this saw is very small, so maybe that is why it isn't very good at making tenons. <br />On the other hand, the small size makes it possible for me to keep it in my tool chest for the sea. So there is probably something to the old saying that you can't have it all. <br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-40410535729916451422013-11-12T08:17:40.850-08:002013-11-12T08:17:40.850-08:00Thank you Ralph.

The wood is not a very good quality, so the surface could have looked better, but the main purpose of these shipboard projects are to pass time with woodworking instead of watching TV. And besides after a coat of paint it will look OK.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-53168774863931284552013-11-12T06:08:49.318-08:002013-11-12T06:08:49.318-08:00The chest is looking great, Gandalf! You've me...The chest is looking great, Gandalf! You've mentioned that you didn't care for the Japanese saw you were using. I've made several attempts at using a Japanese saw and I didn't care for them all that much either. In my mind, they aren't as accurate as a western saw and require a greater learning curve. They also don't work well on a western workbench I've found. That isn't to say that there aren't woodworkers in Japan, or anywhere else for that matter who love the Japanese style saws. I just don't see how some consider them so much better than the western versions.

It is nice to get together with a bunch of other people who are interested in the same subject. We had a lot of beers as well during the class by the way. That was like an extra bonus: Beer and good company, a classic constellation.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-79479278876452291962013-11-11T15:47:03.590-08:002013-11-11T15:47:03.590-08:00I've been enjoying this series.
