In that 2nd pic I used a chisel. Once it's like that you can use just a chisel to get the material out.
That’s cool. I haven’t run into a situation that requires any of my chisels yet.
The key to getting good cuts with hand chisels is to cut across the grain. I also trace the pulley with a razor and it keeps the edges from blowing out.
I build a custom book scanner
I made it from 1/2 Birch ply wood
I made a special cut-out with a glass insert
I cut the glass with a Four-fluted straight flute drill bit
I made mounting brackets from the scrap Birch plywood and mounted the Scanner up-side down so I can place the Book face down on the glass surface to get a perfect image surface
I placed Teflon tape on and around the base of the scanner and used 5min epoxy as a plastic shim so that the scanner could be mounted to the birch brackets without drilling into the base of the base of the scanner
Looks nice bro.
Damn
Im building a second one for larger books

I’m still working on my chest... with the cold weather and my unheated garage it’s pretty much still at the same point it was when I last posted 😂
I got some hard wood flooring for 1$ a box from my work and I plan to just square it off and use the hard wood for some nightstands too but not until it heats up a bit.
Hahaha bundle up bro. You could use that flooring as verner. Stick it on with a pin nailer. Church some stuff up hahaha.
Anyone know what kind of nail this is? Can they still be bought? I found a couple lodged in the beams of a shed here.
I'm pretty sure those are shoeing nails. @Daniel Turch @wolfwood
Wow, I hadn't thought of that! I thought they were some sort of old square/cut nail
It looks like you are correct
