The objectives today were to complete the top glue up and mill the legs from the disaster glue up yesterday.
I pulled the clamps off top sections 3 and 4 from yesterday’s glue up. The 2nd half looked really great.
I then went through a complete dry run for the last top glue up. This would join the two halves into the finished top. I wanted to make sure that when the halves were pulled together in the clamps that the surface would still be flat. It should be, I have checked square sides on each step of the milling and maintained as close to exact as possible. It was flat.
The result of the dry run was great. I am really very pleased my plan for the top assembly has worked very well.
So I moved on the actual glueup. I had to pull my long Jorgie clamps. The 7 I had been using were 24″ clamps. The top is 26″. So setting the top on the cutoff blocks make setting up clamps much easier. The Gross Stabil clamps would reach 26″ so I used them as the top clamps.
The top section glue up completed, I moved on the milling the mess of a glue up for the legs from yesterday. This turned out very good. I was able to joint them and plane them to a very acceptable 5″ x 3 1/2″ leg. Just to make them nice, I trimmed all the ends square on the chop saw. This will get refined as I actually mill the final legs, but that will be a few more days.
Yesterdays’s leg glue up…
Today’s milling result. Nice !
On to day 13.

I have the same planer as you. How are the knives it holding up so far? Have you used the same ones from the start?
I just looked at my History. That planer is in the 2003 history. It has never gotten really heavy use. I did change the blades a few years ago.
As to it’s performance, it is doing a great job. I am really amazed. I have read of guys running hundreds of feet of stock through these things.
The finish is not perfect but with hand plane finish it will be just fine.
What a material of un-ambiguity and preserveness of precious familiarity concerning unpredicted feelings.
Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared
to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked
while people think about worries that they plainly don’t know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without
having side effect , people could take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

Thank you for the good writeup. It in fact was a amusement account it.
Look advanced to far added agreeable from you! However, how could we communicate?
Howdy this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering
if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to
get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

website gives quality based articles.
Greetings from Colorado! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to check out your website on my iphone
during lunch break. I really like the knowledge you provide here and
can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m surprised
at how fast your blog loaded on my phone .. I’m
not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, fantastic blog!
Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any
widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates.
I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time
and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this.
Please let me know if you run into anything.
I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to
your new updates.
What you wrote made a great deal of sense. But, think about
this, what if you were to write a killer headline? I mean, I don’t want
to tell you how to run your blog, however suppose you added a headline that
makes people want more? I mean Workbench TWO – Day 12 – MySaw is
kinda vanilla. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and watch how
they create post headlines to get people to open the links.
You might add a video or a picture or two to get people interested about everything’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it would bring your website a little bit more interesting.
