Man, this is going slower than usual! I got the sheet of MDF Friday on the way home from work. Lost a couple hours this am going to the Arlington shelter to look at a reported Irish Setter, but it was a mix, so had to pass. Man that is SOOO hard to do.
Started cutting the MDF about noon. After lunch and a visit from a friend from Florida, and her father, who lives south of Dallas, I went back to work. Let me tell you. DON'T use your table saw for your assembly table!!!! I got everything flat and ready, found some cuts I failed to make. AARRGGHHHH!! Take it a part, make the cuts, put it back together, and guess what???? Yep, more cuts I failed to make. I wasn't about to take things apart again, so I put my dad's ole RAS to use...didn't even check to see how far out of adjustment it was. But it did fine. In fact, I don't think I could get it that well tuned if I tried! So I have the first one dry fitted except for the top skin, and ready to put together. But I'll wait for that until tomorrow. Hope I have enough glue!! Jim.
