    Woodworking Show in St. Louis

    Pretty much the usual booths, perhaps a little smaller this year. I thought the talks were better, though. Got to meet Tommy Mac and talk with him a little before his seminar. Very nice guy, very...

    Dave,

    The wood is cherry and cherry ply. I stained it Red Mahogany to get a slightly different color. And yeah, I forgot this forum had a Projects catagory.

    Yes, my wife decided she liked the gloss finish. I probably would have knocked it down with some 4-ought, but she has the final say. And yes, there is tons of crap to go in it!

    I've used this program a number of times. It will tell you the angle and height needed to get a specific cove. It will also draw a picture of the profile and print it out for you.

    I've cut cove nearly that large on my table saw several times. Make sure your fences (I use one on each side of the piece) are very secure and won't move on you while you are working. I use a 40...

    BTW, not sure if it applies here, but Makita is offering a bare tool rebate if you buy one of their LXT (3.0 Ah) tools. Look up the BDP141 on Amazon and it has the rebate details.

    Christmas gifts - cutting boards

    Made these for family. Two are cherry, walnut, and maple, and two are maple and purpleheart. Fun to make although I wish I had a drum sander instead of having to belt sand them flat.

    Enjoy!
