    Very nice work Dave. Can you tell me a couple things:
    1. What is the radius of the fluted column?
    2. How many flutes can you get in the quarter?
    3. What is the flute dimension here?

    Thank you...

    dovetail guide?

    I would not advise buying this tool. Save your money and practice sawing to a line scribed with a knife. Keep it simple and learn to cut to a line and fit the joints.
