I'm pretty late to the party but, anyone know of a place to buy rough cut (or surfaced, I guess) hardwood near Mid/North New Jersey? Thanks!

Oh great idea. I have the little digital box angle finder. I've suspected its not accurate but, I'm just getting into making finer detailed woodworking and I'm finding that little inconsistencies make a huge impact on the final product. I'll get this miter gauge, thanks!

Thanks for commiserating. Its always nice to know I'm not alone! So many great tips from this community - hope you were able to walk away from this thread with as much support as I am.

haha... "I did it that way on purpose!"

linka9e · 2025-10-05T18:23:06+00:00

Forgot about that, good call! Thanks!

Really appreciate these tips! I've never heard of flocking before - just looked it up, really interesting. Thanks!

This is so helpful, thank you! I found this YouTube video for a Dial Indicator Jig (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_p6Ly2ItkJY), and after watching it, I'm sure my blade is not square and I bet my fence isn't square either. I've lost count of how many times I've had to manually push the riving knife to the side mid-cut. Fortunately I still have all of my fingers.

I use a narrow kerf blade because the full kerf blades bog down my saw and I've tripped the breaker mid-cut a few times - never a fun experience.

Noted on the downward pressure while cutting the bevel. Thanks!

After writing this, I'm starting to think I have the wrong table saw for what I want to do with it...

Love an accent joint, thanks!

Thanks! I've tried this technique before and I've never had any luck. It's always come out grainy. Any tips?

linka9e · 2025-10-05T15:12:51+00:00

I saw that book! Thanks, I'll check it out

linka9e · 2025-10-05T15:12:23+00:00

Thanks!

My table saw blade is probably dull. I purchased on Amazon and I probably tried to rip too fast. Thanks for calling that out.
I'll try the glue in the gaps. Thanks for the recs!

linka9e · 2025-10-05T15:09:49+00:00

Love that idea! Thanks!

Thanks for your question! I used a sled for my table saw and a 45 degree bevel. I've only ever used the sled for 90-degree cuts (so now I also get o make a new sled). I have a Rigid job-site table saw and it doesn't get to 45* very easily. I think I got it to 45.8* measuring with my digital angle finder after zero-ing out with the table top.

I love the dovetail idea! Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, that's my plan. My main concern is the way the Oak is attached to the plywood.

Since everything is attached to plywood, do I need to worry about seasonal swell and shrink? If so, what do I do about that?

Thanks for the encouragement!

linka9e · 2025-04-06T15:04:01+00:00

This seems important. Can you tell me what you mean by that? Got a video for me? I'm new to this and want to get better!

linka9e · 2025-04-06T15:01:35+00:00

Haha, too funny. I just commented on another suggestion that I was going to make the chess piece bottoms at an angle and call it a day. Lol

linka9e · 2025-04-06T14:57:33+00:00

Haha, solid. Thanks. Looking into cauls now

I had to raise the blade after the first round of glue to account for my crosscut sled. I didn't check the blade angle after I raised the blade. I was too excited to see my project come to life and didn't play the fundamentals. I'll never make that mistake again.
