23082011(oil stone box)

I finished making the tool box yesterday. We used nails and glue to put the whole parts together. Shorter nails from cutting them half of longer nails by nail puncher were used on where the rebate was and the longer ones were for both of the sides. It was a bit tricky that Chris showed us how to cut nails diagonally. Nailing needs proper angle not to be pulled out easily, not to be come out the timber as well. To assemble timbers, it has to have procedures which we can choose the most efficient one, but personally I think it is not hugily affected in this case, whereas it surely is when we make more complicated things. Having left my notebook in my locker, I do not remember what else I have learned...bugger..
What we did last wednesday is chiselling the hole on the sides.
We started making oil stone box today. We talked about assembly especially gluing and nailing, which we did yesterday and planed the procedure of making the oil stone box. We were not allowed to use sanding machine or every things related to sanding. First, we choose our timber by scanning with our eyes. It was mahogany. I did not know that it has really beautiful grain before we dressed it as usual method. I draw some lines on it after dressed it up in order to chip by using drill press. By the way, one other thing that I realised this morning is that the oil stone is reasonably brittle as it was broken when it fell down from about 150mm high. Make sure the centre of the drill bit firmly stamps the surface of the timber when using drill press. If it is not fixed on to the timber properly, it will slip out as I have done and remain ugly scratches on it. We will finish making the oil stone box tomorrow and are doing lofting next 2 weeks.
The thing that I realised about making the tool box is the fact that the faster I would do, the worserer the result would come out. What I need to have as a boat builder is I think 'patience' and 'accuracy'. They will help me to get a better consequence and even I can be faster than I do not have those ones. Whenever I use machine or other mates do, I feel a bit nervous. Under any circumstances do I have to mind my fingers. Always, we have to look after each other's back.
