Before we add the right arm, let's go ahead and make the Coffee Pot and the Dutch Oven. These might look kind of difficult but they're really quite easy to do if you have the right equipment. Most of the work is done by your saw and a drill. Those of you who don't have access to a drill press and a set of Forstner bits can accomplish this task by cutting out the center of the oven and lid on a jig saw and then glueing in a false bottom. All the joints will be hidden.
This oven is made to accept 8 biscuits made from 5/8" wooden dowel. This is just the right size for this scene.
Note: I have edited this post for the size of the biscuits. I had originally typed 3/8" vs. the 5/8" now shown. The smaller version would work okay but the larger size looks better.
restarted the project i had a little mishap with the other block and it split becuse i was too impaient to wait.
ReplyDeleteive got the pattern set up on the main block and will take it to a cabinet shop and pay them to band saw it out tonight.
thanks for the nice comment on my blog and again thanks for your efforts time and resources in putting togather this blog.
im stoked to get some progress done, maybe i can put some beans and buscuts in the pot today...
did you see the minature tom H. was making on the wci of this project.
Myron...You should be able to get that measurement from the pattern..either the front view or the side. I'd have to go down the hill to get the actual measurement.
