Regarding the rip blade, get this. Guess what brand new blade I had sitting two feet away when I cut those key slots? Yep, a new rip blade. I didn't even think about it. Now I know.
I have some nice walnut and some of the birdseye left over, so I am itching to start another box and apply these lessons - maybe today.
