Another "X" Puzzle

via LumberJocks.com RSS Feed - All Posts http://lumberjocks.com/projects/77202

I’ve admired this type of puzzle made by other lumberjocks – so I made one myself from walnut, curly maple & sycamore. The pins are red oak. Finished with BLO & paste wax. I used the technique that another lumberjock (Paul Pomerleau) used with his puzzle (http://lumberjocks.com/projects/56463) to drill the pin holes accurately — which is why my version has the sycamore caps.

Jigs and Such #2: Router Insert Modifications

via LumberJocks.com RSS Feed - All Posts http://lumberjocks.com/Moellering/blog/33750

I have realized that my router insert I made for my table saw could benefit from having a miter slot closer to it, so I decided just to route one into it.

It seemed logical to reinforce the area underneath the slot, since I was taking away half of the 3/4” of plywood and creating a fault line in a piece that supports a motor spinning carbide bits and thousands of rpms seemed less than optimal.

The only drawback is that I don’t have T-slot doing it this way. I don’t see that being a huge drawback at this stage in the game.
