What did you cut on your Shapeoko/ Nomad today?

In this case I still used the t-tracks. :slight_smile:

If you were to have to do a full 4x4 square, then you’d have to remove the BitSetter. In my case with the circle not going to the corner, I just notched the material.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Good info!

I have been really interested in making some honey comb themed table tops. Been looking at some designs. Always planning ahead. Nice looking mirror.

My sister had a special wall that when you walked into the Front door you could see two very large, long mirrors, however you could NOT see yourself in those mirrors. It really freaked people out.

So, if you make another of this wall hanging you might think about all different kinds of angles on the bottoms of your pockets to give each a different angled view. Just a thought for a fun project!

This hanging does look GREAT though! Good job!!!

These will be center slats in Adirondack chairs being built by a neighbor.

Oh those pesky neighbors. They just need a little thing done that takes hours. You have to love them. :rofl:

And then, when you tell them the answer to “Just keep track of the costs, and I’ll pay you.”, they tell you they saw if from China for a quarter.

Neil, those are going to look good. Hope you get a photo of the finished chairs!

These are some finished chairs from before I suggested epoxy.



Here is the first round after a quick facing operation to clean up the epoxy.

Beautiful chairs Neil. The design really appeals.

Would you post a pic of the back? I’m thinking I might make a few.

I purchased a 15 dollar Chinese knock-off chamfer plane that was surprisingly good for my standard and planned amount of use, so i figured its a keeper and worth making a box to keep all of its parts organized.

Drawn in fusion 360, made from a 20mm thick piece of oak.
2 sided job by use of dovels.2 sided job was to make the filets on top and bottom as im not used to having a chamfer plane! :smiley: (and to practice the technique by use of dovel pins)

Needs a little bit of sanding and a coat of oil before it hits the tool shelf.

I watched a video about Banggood tools. The presenter was impressed with the quality for 1/3 the price of Woodpeckers tools.

Let’s see now … Chinese company vs. USA company … which do I choose? :upside_down_face:

The suspense is killing us

Well, that’s not all that’s killing “US”. The price one pays for a tool doesn’t always include all the hidden costs. We’re finding out more all the time.
