    Wow, that's a large saw! I wouldn't use this one for re-sawing, just for larger curves a coping saw is too small to do. Most of what I've built to date has required no re-sawing... I'll cross that...

    I have a 1970's model Marples 12" turning saw on its way as we speak. I've always lusted after a band saw, but that's not the direction I'm headed. All hand tools for me. I'll spend the difference...

    Mr. Wilson, I half expected to find a video of Saint Underhill chopping some cabriole legs with some form of farm implement. But, I did not find a video of him making any cabriole legs. I have seen...

    Will be searching for turning saw recommendations. I wonder if the 12" bow saw is large enough to cut curves in 12/4 stock?

    Fidel,

    That is what I had considered doing given all my tools are geared for straight work. I had seen that done on a smaller scale for a lamb's tongue. More clean up than a bow saw it seems.

    Cutting cabriole legs without bandsaw?

    Ok, I've done some searching, but haven't seen a clear solution yet. How were cabriole legs cut before bandsaws?

    I can look at the wood removed and imagine bow saw (giving me an excuse to hunt...

    I built a bench from 1-by SYP that I had left over from a flooring project. I think the boards were 5.5" by 3/4". I glued up 32 or so of them and ended up with a 4" thick top after the ugly glue-up...

    I mortised in 3 butt hinges and screwed them all down. Quality from the Borg was lacking, as one of the screws' heads twisted off while tightening. They were rather short screws to begin with. ...

    Thank you gentlemen very much for the input on the hinges! One thing about it being a slant top desk, and perhaps I did not think carefully enough, is that I beveled the edge of the lid so it would...

    Slant top desk - hinge type for lid?

    The slant top desk is coming along. Since it will be painted, I made the top from poplar, and it ended up being a bit heavy for butt hinges (I tried them, mortised them in and attached, but the...

    I follow Derek's philosophy. I'd rather make something as high a quality as I am able (which isn't saying much at this time for me).

    I do use a divider and bevel gauge to layout my dovetails,...

    Made a bit of progress tonight. Joined the sides with the drawer dividers (probably not the correct term). Not sure why the photo is posting sideways though. Thanks, Brian and Kent, for the advice!

    Thanks, Brian. That's the direction I was leaning, including draw boring. Since the box I'm making is taller than the one in the photo, I would do three or four tenons into each leg.
