Having 'sliced and diced', this afternoon saw the veneers and birch ply go into the AirPress for several hours, so that all the individual pieces (apart from the base) have now been made. Each is around 16mm thick, so once one side has been skimmed...
...they can go into the first jig, which is cunningly designed to plane each piece down to 14mm. The plane sole runs along the inside of the rebate and won't plane off any more beyond 14mm... clever or what?
The final jig that I finished this afternoon is the panel cramping jig, which looks complicated but it's not really. It's not quite finished yet as it's got to be assembled with the correct sized coach bolts as well as the 6mm thrust bolts.
All will be revealed though, in due course...
