Hall Tree update
Pocket holes, pocket holes, pocket holes..... I drilled like 40 pocket holes for the hall tree today. This is the first project that has required this many and boy do they get boring. Then I spent an hour sanding. All people in the videos that I watch alchoices comment on how most of my woodworking time will be spent sanding and I am starting to understand it now. If everything goes according to plan then assembly will start on Sunday. I sanded the heck out of the 3 boards that I glued poorly. I got rid of the ridge but now its kinda wavy and almost bowed looking. If it was going somewhere that it would be seen I would go buy some more wood and redo it. But seeing as how I am on an artificial time limit I am going to leave it as is.
New ASDOO videos
Laney is showing us how to make a 2 sided game / message board. It is refreshing to see that he is still moving forward with his videos even after Google screwed him and closed his adsense account.

Mallet handle shaping ideas
I took a better look at the mallet handle this morning. The thicker part of the shoulder is 3/8" and the thinner part is 1/8". I am thinking that I will run the thicker part through the tablesaw and bring both sides down to 1/8". I dont have a bandsaw to cut the sides in to fit my hand better so I am probably going to trim the corners on the router table with a chamfer bit and then just sand the heck out of it with some 60 grit paper.? I was also looking through my scraps and found the piece of oak left over from where I put the BBs inside the head. I think that I should be able to make the wedges for the top of the handle from that.
