First thing I did today at Shedders & Fixers (hereafter S&F) was put my current project, a Paul Sellers style router plane – pics one and two below – through the drum sander. Thereby achieving a uniform thickness.
Second thing I did was take off and re-work a plywood saw handle, as shown in pics three to six, above. I made this some years ago, to replace a broken handle. But it was way too thick, and not terrifically well formed.
The drum sander once again did sterling service, bringing it down to a much better thickness. After thinning, I spent most of the rest of my time at S&F today shaping said handle; making it look and feel nicer.
I think I’ve put about five layers of shellac on it. But I’m not 100% sure? I really like how it looks; the way the shellac makes the plys ‘pop’!
