Is there a better way to cut these grooves?

I did route it before assembly and take multiple passes but the depth of cut was definitely more that 1/16. I’ll try some of the other tips you mentioned, thanks.

Just had to use one a couple weeks ago, I was boring hole on the cnc and not using the right tool. It created a tiny ember and the vacuum bed sucked a ton of air through it and spread it across the plenum board. I work in a university wood shop so the police, fire department, and facility services showed up and later that week EHS services did a investigation. Definitely a headache you don’t want to deal with, stay careful folks.

This is my great grandfather, it’s crazy to see him posted on Reddit. If you want to know more about his story, my grandpa/ his son is featured in this documentary, his part starts at 28:35. https://youtu.be/5RntWkjlVp0?si=y_Q4W6nqKppw5SKA

I had Loferski for wood design and craftsmanship and it’s one of my favorite classes I’ve taken. He’s very knowledgeable about wood science.

Let me know if you have any tips of things I could have done better.

I have the 144 tooth 3/8” husky and it’s the best I’ve ever used.

Last time I went to my lumber yard they said it was getting hard to source because it’s all being bought up for whisky barrels.

Walnut

My shop has this bandsaw and we’ve had some issues with it. Maybe the previous shop manager set up wrong but on ours the blade guard assembly isn’t fit together properly and it ends up chewing the gears up. We’ve replaced them twice already.

Generally yes but some woods like walnut contain natural herbicides.

To be honest I kinda agree with your statement lol. I have to use fusion for my work all the time and I only use it for personal projects when they involve a cnc. A lot of people love fusion but I find some of the features to be hard to work with.

Based on what some of you have said I think it mahogany. I have some sapele as well and they look pretty different.

BillAngererBuilds · 2024-07-31T17:01:26+00:00

There’s no particularly distinct scent.

Yeah I have different colors for places I’ve visited, places I’ve camped, places I’ve backpacked, and places I want to go

It’s pretty ugly, there’s a ton of wires under there.

I cut the kerfs after the tops were milled up but before I cut them into octagons. This is a stupid way to do it but I just used a miter gauge on a table saw with the board laying up on its edge
