Woodworker's Journal 1985-9-4, страница 39
I Connoisseurs tell us that a really great cup of coffee starts with freshly ground beans. Our project, made from maple, is a reproduction of an antique hand-cranked coffee mill, one that doesn't just look good, but also works quite effectively. The mill mechanism (I) is available from Woodcraft Supply Corporation, 41 Atlantic Avenue, Woburn, MA 01888 (part number 07V41-KR, current price $14.95 postpaid). An adjustment knob at the top allows the size of the grounds to be varied from very fine to coarse. When the coffee is ground to the right size, we found it works very nicely in all coffee makers, including the drip type that most everybody seems to have these days. You'll need Yz in. thick stock to make the four sides (A). If you don't July/August 1986 have a thickness planer and can't get V2 in. thick stock locally, check with a lumberyard or mill work shop as they will often plane thicker stock for a nominal charge. After thickness planing, cut the stock to a width of 4J4 in. and a length of 5% in. Make sure all cuts are square. The box joints (also called finger joints) can be cut individually, either by using the dado head cutter or by making repeated passes with the regular saw blade. These joints can also be cut using a box joint jig on the table saw. This easy-to-make jig was described in The Beginning Woodworker column in our November/December 1982 issue. Dry assemble the four sides and check for proper fit-up of the joints. If satisfied, apply a thin coat of glue to all the mating surfaces, then assemble and clamp firmly. When dry, remove the clamps, then use the table saw to cut the lA in. by 1V2 in, notch on the front to accept the Bill of Materials (all dimensions actual) Bill of Materials (all dimensions actual)
