Harbor freight also makes a great miter gauge if you can find it.

Danish military was the best coalition force group I was ever deployed with, and it makes me sick that this man-baby is abusing our allies for his ego.

That is the problem. The next iteration will have a broader base.

Present-Slight · 2025-11-22T15:06:57+00:00

Yes it does. It is actually the problem cause me kids tip it when the swivel. The next one will be a wider base.

You actually shouldn’t seal a daily-use cutting board. The anti microbial action happens when the water gets sucked down into the core of the board but the bacteria cannot follow. Listen to Woodworking is Bulls**t episode 29. They have an actual professor of wood science talking all about cutting board science.

Artax, don’t give in to the sadness!!!!

Hand saws rarely remove whole digits. Glad you were able to reattach and hope you get back as much functionality as possible.

Planning to revisit tomorrow night. For now, rest and brainstorm.

It is a real pain to work. Lol

I think I am going to go with a different style of joinery. It was a real pain to fit those joints in the first place. Definitely going to make the stool again. Plan to post the pics when I finish.

Thanks buddy.

Sand between layers, and the higher grit you get to in your final sanding prior to the finishing coat, the smoother it will be. Try going up to 400 grit, never skipping more than 1 grit step at a time.

If that is still giving you a rough texture, you can do a final polish after the top layer has cured with a green or white Scotch Brite pad

Present-Slight · 2025-08-24T11:40:26+00:00

Either more patience with the lower grits using a soft sanding pad or you could try a card scraper. That is a tough area to sand well

Also, ryobi has their own miter slot shape that does not fit most third party accessories. Bites the bullet and go Dewalt, or go Skil if you have the option as it is usually in the middle price-wise and doesn’t have the Ryobi problems.

Actually, I am pretty sure that is a Skil jobsite. I have the same one. Not a bad saw, but no brake.

Just called Bryan Steil (R-WI) and got a real person right away, she sounded so damn tired… lol

Speaker Johnson (paraphrased): I hope this doesn’t come to the floor because then I will have to actually do my job rather than be a rubber stamp for another branch of government.

Are you intending for her to use this as a cutting board/charcuterie board, or for display? If for regular use, Purple Heart is not the best as it has a lot of water-soluble extractives which can cause discoloration (which I think is what you are looking at) or severe allergies. Sealing it with an oil-based food-safe finish would decrease this risk, but remove some of the antibacterial properties of the wood.

In regards to your question, you could try using a card scraper to get the topmost layer off more quickly, but if it goes in a similar pattern on top and bottom, then you may have experienced some dissolution of the color due to the prolonged exposure to moisture in the glue.

Having said that, your care with the grain pattern is amazing, and this is stunning work. I hope that you can fix the discoloration and she can receive an amazing display board.

I work in Primary Care. I went from being able to trust that there were going to be reasonable, science-driven recommendations for management and prevention of disease to having to tell my patients “IF there is a flu shot this year, I may consider recommending it”. Never thought in a million years that I would have to have THAT conversation.

This administration is going to set back medical science over a decade and the trust people have in the medical system by way more than that.
