Thanked: 4207Hopefully just a new bi metal blade on the bandsaw should be enough to cut through it. Thinking 12 tpi and a nice steady pressure.
Hoping the mineral oil drawn into its pores will lubricate the ivory without discoloration it during the cutting process.
Should be onto that lil trial in the next couple weeks..

Evened up the scales using the drill press, and a 50grt. drum sander. Gluing paper between the scales, holding them as one, made it easy to make both sets identical.
The rest is done by hand cause I don't have belt sander, and I prefer it that way.
"YEAH TOM"!!

Thanked: 119I've been working on a workbench (first ever tried) I desperately needed. Wanted to keep the costs down so I relied on standard 2x4's and decking boards. The underneath part will be for storage and shelves and I'll make hinged doors also. Not very artistic, some measuring errors but overall, so far, it turned out to be really solid. While I've been sweating on this, I remembered what my father told me more than once "watch, son, watch... put your hands on...you'll never know when you'll need it" and I never bothered - now, I need to know, so went back to school of life and I intend to stay there.
All my respect for the guys out there who put the hands on
So, these been said, here is the overall structure too fit in the corner on the workshop (to maximize the space as the workshop is going to be an enclosed den inside the garage)
Now, check this out (and I can't say it worked very hard, probably 40 or 50 4x50 screws, using a small Stanley 10.8 V impact driver)
The second bit got the same soon after
