I have recently used the Lee Valley 3/4 Lock Mitre Bit on 1/2 Russian Ply.
It was a hastle to setup, but the instructions with the bit made that possible.
Centering the bit on the material...
Open. There was talk of using a open 'screen' material, but there is a shelf there for a cable converter box and the remote control would/may have trouble.

I am getting close to finishing Julie's Armoire.
It is the last piece in a bedroom set started over two years ago.
I have learned a great deal from the project.

Shown here are a few shots of my weekend accomplishments. Visit my blog for more pictures and details.
I found more hits on 'steamer trunks', but have always liked to design projects myself. I review what's available, show a few pictures to the client (relatives), and use that as a starting point. I...

Thanks again!
