Alright, I'm gonna just before I do that it's October, it's Thursday, I think October 18th, I'm not sure, or 17th anyway, I just on the south end of Tadaluma right before Castagna Winery and I think I just passed it but anyway, I'm driving to work and the night before I had come home to discover that, well I guess I already knew it, discovered that my garbage disposal broke and I had to replace it. It was stressful but fun, you know, got to replace the garbage disposal, hey now I know, but anyway, I need to talk through the build of the dining table so that I make sure I've covered everything. I have purchased the wood, it's sitting still at McBeath and Berkeley and hopefully walk, we'll pick it up and deliver it on Saturday. So what else? Yeah so I'm gonna currently, I finished the joiner jig but you know in the process of building it, it's made me realize that it's not, it may not be big enough for some of the pieces that I have and so it may require that it build a bigger one, not really sure yet. But we'll figure that out as we go along. Secondly, I'm still working on the crosscut sled that may or may not be too small, I'm not sure, but yeah, I'm gonna try it out. I got all the parts and now I just have to put it together. So what else? The first thing that I'm gonna need to do when I get the lumber is, I mean, I guess, playing it, even though I don't know why from videos I've seen, I guess you playing it so that you can have accurate dimensions and then you determine what will be used and what will be waste. So that's probably the first thing that I need to do. However, I need to get some rollers, preferably rollers that don't slide side to side and I'll use them when I'm feeding wood through the planer. What else? So once I guess the wood is passed through the planer, it will be on the face of it square. The face will be square and let's suppose at that point I can determine what needs to be joined and that will most likely be the planks. The planks and the breadboard ends. So yeah, the planks will need to have their sides joined so that obviously I'm creating a panel that is, technically, I need to use a biscuit joiner. I'll probably buy a cheapo biscuit joiner simply because I want to save money, but I mean, the difference is marginal in most of the store bought ones. So yeah, hopefully, I guess by this weekend Sunday, I would really like to have planned all of the wood down to dimensions that I like and possibly get started on joining them if I have the right equipment. So I believe I determined that we would need five planks for the panel and so each of the jointed edges will need a sawishitani, use a pair of biscuits along various lengths on the edges. So yeah, it's probably joining two biscuits so that would be down the edge, maybe one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, maybe eight biscuits total, I don't know. In some ways, maybe you would want to use biscuits where you're not going to clamp. To compensate for lack of a clamp or basically when you clamp, don't clamp where your biscuits are. I need to maybe review a guide on how to properly clamp up wood that's biscuit, that's using biscuits. I actually have to buy some biscuits and the biscuit. So once it's clamped up, you know, so once I do the biscuits and then I'm going to spread the glue on and clamp it up, maybe I need to practice with the walnut that I have on a very small sample. And so that's another thing I could do. What else? So after I determined that I'll be, you know, after I, so I determined the biscuits, and I glue it up and I clamp it up and possibly needing other pieces of wood that run perpendicular to the planks with their faces, you know, used as a clamp essentially. I may need to buy a couple more clamps for that, but the idea there is that this would prevent, you know, any warping even though the wood seems fairly straight. I can't remember in any of the videos with Ishtani or I got to watch the wood whisperer to see if they've had to use that or not, that method. So that's another possibility. Or I just order more clamps, not really sure yet. So that's that. And then what else? Oh yeah, I got to remember Ask Rob if he has extra clamps, then I don't need to buy some. So let's assume I've got the, let's say I need to have the panel done by the end of next weekend. Yeah, either glued up and dried or, you know, close to it. The the, now one thing I guess I could could also start on is the pedestal feet and the pedestal body, I guess, is that what you call it? And the pedestal head. So each one of those is going to require some amount of time. The, the, I'm going to need to determine some length that is appropriate for the pedestal. It will have to be shorter than the width of the table. And I think the first thing that has to be done on the legs is this determine if they're going to be tapered. Why don't you why not? And then after that determine where how they're going to join to the pedestal body. So obviously I'm going to have to pick the center and I'm going to probably need a dado blade for this. A dado out the, the, I don't know if it's called a tenon or what, but it'll be the narrower portion of the middle of the leg that slides into forms the groove. Yeah, it's not called that, but I got to figure out what it's called. It will slide into the groove of the body. But yeah, so I'll need a dado blade for that. And, and also I may need to upgrade my table saw blade to one that has more teeth. So I can get finer cuts. So yeah, that's another thing I have to look at. And then let me pause it while I eat.
