hi i'm old sneelock welcome to another episode of old sneelock's workshop today we're working on a project. the toolmake 16 what's a toolmake 16?
old woodworking tools wanted, well, my friend, mitch peacock has a challenge put forth to have everybody who can make a tool and enter into his contest.
he's probably gonna have some pretty cool prizes. he always does. and i promised, this year, that i'd try and do an entry. picked up an item at the antique shop the other day. it's not an antique it's actually a new item. but it's really nice. this is a ah... 3m d-4 double roll dispenser.
and it's for sandpaper. the cool thing about this sandpaper is it's sticky self adhesive and it grips tight enough that you can use it to stick onto something so i'm going to set up this little plate here to act as a backer for the sandpaper go back to my pile of
uhh... you can see that i wasn't careful enough and i managed to cut my thumb sliced it pretty good too! right on the edge of that glass. so i'll have to go do some emergency repairs and i'll be back in the classic manner of locking the barn door after the horse is gone
i'm going to put on a pair of gloves and with this diamond plate i'm going to knock the edges off the glass you know what i should do? i've got a tool for this. after mom retired she got interested in stained glass. and mom's a lot like me. she tends toward getting tools.
one of the things she got is this inland diamond grinder as i slowly inch my way towards doing stained glass. it's another step this is going to do a really cool job to make a base for a sharpening station. now that i have the glass all ready to go. i think i need a backer for it.
take this piece of scrap and we'll pull some nails out of it. lot's of hammering this was part of a table that used to sit in the other part of the room and it was just piled with junk. so i took out the table and put shelves in and now the shelves are piled with junk. but it's it's neater and allows lot
more junk to be stored. just need to have it wide enough for these strips to fit around the glass. that gets that dimension and then this is the length and i want to give myself a little bit of room on that so i'm going to move this down . so i'm going to move this down about an eighth of an inch or so. put a mark there. then i know that i need to have some width on this side.
and i'm going to put a mark about there. set my glass back here out of the way so it doesn't get broken kind of disappointing to have that get broken after all the work i put into it. get the rafter square down from the wall and use it to lay out a nice straight line. instead of this approximation that i have in there. okay i'll mark ten inches. put it down here and mark
ten inches again use the rafter square to mark it out. nice line to work from. cut my board off. (sawing ) then with the disston rip saw i love this thumb hole rip just because it's cool. i don't use the two handedness of it. but it does have that option
i'm always impressed with how easily that cuts a nice . straight square line no fancy dust collectors no rip fences. no guides just the edge of the saw going through the wood. it wants to cut straight. no dust collector either ah.. all the saw dust falls straight down. big chunks
none of that whirling crap flying up in the air and me sneezing and blowing pine sawdust out of my nose the rest of the week. piece of cake. ( peaceful quiet) (until the phone rings) (i'll let the secretary get it.) (tellemarketer)
since i'm going to be using this with water i think it would be a good idea to put some glue on those strips i want to be able to take the glass out cause i'm going to wash it occasionally. i'm not going to glue the glass down to the board. but i do want to be able to remove the glass. (silence)
(tapping in the nails) (more tapping and meaningless noise) piece of glass is eight inches wide. and i want to have several strips going across it. i'd like to have four. so it's going to be twelve plus
two makes fourteen inches. now i have a plane which came home but it's in a... less than pristine condition. needs to be squared up and straight so i pull the blade back so it's not protruding but i want to leave the blade in there so it holds the
frog and the base all in the original position that it was when really started out. now i come over here to the eighty. (sanding) and i can see that it's got a little bit of a bottom down there at the heel. and there's just a little bit of a line here at
the front of the mouth where it's not shiny. .020" worth of beveling on this back corner here. the goal for today was to make this sanding plate. it worked out pretty well. thanks a lot for watching. if you guys have any suggestions for new videos, questions about todays video or any of the other videos on the channel just drop a note in the comments below.
you know i read them all. oh.. and we're trying closed captions too. if you have hearing problems and i wear hearing aids then it's a really nice thing to have because sometimes i don't speak clearly. you wouldn't think that would happen but it does. (outro ~ lord of the land)
